Hi -
interesting - I have exactly the same things on my list of really useful supps:
zinc, chewable vitamin C, P5P, magnesium.
I read somewhere that most (?) B6 gets destroyed through cooking/freezing meat. I wonder how true this is - it might explain why this vitamin is so widely deficient in people.
So I really try to up my dosages of these things through food if I can. As I am low-carbing I can't exactly stuff myself with bananas for B6, so I came up with this list:
B6 - eggs, rare meat (I'm not quite at the stage of roaring loudly and tearing apart raw flesh with my teeth lol), lightly cooked salmon. Um, broccoli, spinach, asparagus.
Magnesium - broccoli again - have you seen the nutritional profile for broccoli on nutritiondata.com??? It is quite amazing. Other veggies - especially, once more, the leafy greens not surprisingly.
Vit C - lemon juice, red peppers, berries (plus all other veggies).
zinc- red meat esp., although also salmon and most animal protein.
And finally - my intake of animal vitamin A has gone up rather suddenly due to the amount of cream and butter I'm eating + cod liver oil. I'm not worried though - finally the acne has cleared for the first time in years and I feel well - well, better anyway.
I don't think I've ever posted in the thyroid section - maybe I did by accident! So is there a bad vibe over there or what?
However eczema doesn't seem to like eggs or cheese much, despite taking probably too much fish oil.
Hmm - I'll have to check out the whole siberian ginseng again - I got put off because I ordered some bulk powder and it tasted really sawdusty and didn't have any smell, and didn't do anything - I must have bought filler!
I see it is possible to buy Rhodiola roots to make as a tea as well albeit rather expensive. I wonder if that effect is very different too from the extract pills.
I drink tons of 'weak' yerba mate - i.e. I don't put 100g of yerba mate per mug like the Argentinians (which is traditional) - I put a good rounded coffee spoon though. I love this stuff - you get lots of minerals and B vitmamins. People say it's stimulating but I never felt that - it has even helped me sleep at night (mind you it is weak). I will miss it if we move away from here as it is really cheap, but expensive in other countries.
