Are you taking your supplements to support your MS?

I am a big believer in several different types of supplements. I have picked these suggestions up in talking to other people about MS.

- B12, Biotin and other B vitamins for increased energy and to help fight fatigue
- Omega 3, 6 and 9 to help with stiffness and mobility
- Calcium and Vitamin D (I don't know why but studies show that you need to boost these two - I hear this repeatedly)

I have also found that you should not have more that the daily requirements of A, C and E as these put your immune system on overload. I got this from a Betaseron nurse recently. This was very eye opening as I drink nutrition shakes with a substantial amount of B12 but they also happen to have increased amounts (i.e. more than the RDA) vitamin A, C and E.

I also have a friend that is a firm believer in Tumeric as a supplement. I am not sure what this does but my friend has been doing really well with this supplement and has increased mobility that she attributes to Tumeric.

I would much rather take supplements to manage my MS than some of the drugs that have challenging side effects.
