I've
noticed that there has been a great deal of interest shown in my previous blog,
"My Brain Basket." Recently, I have made a few changes in the
supplements that I take, so here is an updated list.
Doctors are still reluctant to pass this information on to the hopeful HD population. These supplements, along
with exercise, give me the feeling that I am taking control of my HD self! At
this point, I don't follow any special diet, and I am still on the heavy side.
Maybe that has something to do with my late onset of symptoms. There is a Facebook site dealing with HD and Proper Nutrition/Exercise/Lifestyle, from which I have gotten some great ideas.
Here is my new list of supplements, and where they can be purchased:
Here is my new list of supplements, and where they can be purchased:
- Concrete Creatine - Take one capsule daily

- Pearl Probiotic - one tablet daily - I purchase from any pharmacy.
- Vitamin E - 400 I.U. - 1 tablet daily - I buy the Kirkland brand.
- Celexa Antidepressant (SSRI) - You need a prescription for this.

ReplyDeleteHi Amanda, thanks for your response. I'm glad that you take these things. I really recommend the Blueberry IQ -- it's easy to take, not too expensive, and is good for your heart, too!
