Best Supplements for MS Patients – What Actually Helps?

Flaxseed oil is meant to be good apparently, I consume the Biona one and just have it as a dressing on food. In terms of supplements, Vitamin D with the caveat that you need to check your levels before taking it. If taking, then to be mindful of the dosage level. For instance, one neurologist prescribed me a high dose (5000iu) and I became unwell from it after 8 weeks. During which I experienced nausea/increased fatigue from that dosage. I subsequently discovered that long-term high vitamin D dosage can in some cases lead to health complications like Hypercalcemia and Bone demineralisation, so I now only take a low dosage of 400iu. After my experience I would never exceed 1000iu vitamin D per day. It depends upon lifestyle and environment as well.
