Vitamins And Supplements That Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Patients UseAs with any treatment plan, patients should discuss any vitamin or supplement therapy with their physician who is treating them for the disease. Vitamins and supplements can have a beneficial affect towards giving some relief to the symptoms CFS patients' experience.
Vitamin C taken in large quantities can relieve muscle pain and fatigue symptoms of CFS. 10 grams of Ascorbic Acid powder 3 times a day and have found this to be sufficient and on bad days when you may experience aggravated symptoms, you may need to take 10grams every 30mins for up to 3 hours before feeling relief (please check with your physician before doing this). 1 gram of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid powder) = 1000mg. The key is to take it until you start to get more gas compared to what is normal for you. Adjusting the dose of Vitamin C can be a balancing act. You need to find the correct balance in order to experience improvement. Taking too much and you will experience abdominal cramping, gas and loose stools. Flax seed oil or primrose oil may help, as patients with CFS have been known to have fatty acid deficiencies. Take up to two teaspoons a day, along with a magnesium supplement of 400 milligrams. Flaxseed oil is available in liquid and capsule form An enzyme supplement known as Vitalzymes helps with concentration difficulties. It is known to help with blood flow issues and is doctor recommended. Magnesium deficiency may also be a problem for CFS patients. A recent study, showed twenty people with CFS and compared them with twenty healthy volunteers. Blood magnesium levels of the CFS patients were found to be quite a bit lower than the levels of the healthy volunteers. Take a combination formula that supplies 100 milligrams of magnesium and 300 milligrams of malic acid three times daily, twenty minutes before each meal, for six to eight weeks.
