Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am interested in incorporating vitamins and supplements into my regimen to support my health as I age. I seek guidance on organizing a supplement schedule that is safe and does not harm my body. Is there a recommended protocol for cycling supplements, including periods of rest between usage? Additionally, I would like to know if there are specific supplements that may slow the aging process or decrease the risks of cancer and brain-related diseases. I have heard about the potential benefits of collagen and antioxidants. Could you please advise me on appropriate supplements and provide a suitable plan for their intake? By the way, I have PCOS, and my period is not regular. Also, I have seborrheic dermatitis on my face, dandruff with flakes, and dark spots, and I often experience sudden itchiness on my body, perhaps due to dryness and eczema. I do not know if there are supplements for these conditions.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
It appears to be skin aging with atopy with P.sicca (Parietaria sicca) as per your description.
Use anti-dandruff shampoo twice weekly for six weeks. Take a tablet of Antoxid HC once daily after breakfast for 30 days can be taken with no side effects. Use Salicylic acid face wash twice daily for two weeks.
For PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) issues, refer a gynecologist nearby and get an ultrasound of the abdomen done every three months. Keep checking on your thyroid profile. For dark spots, apply Aziderm (Azelaic acid) 10 percent cream in the daytime for 15 days.
Avoid stress. Make yourself stress-free as stress is a big contributing factor. Stay relaxed. Avoid unnecessary pills.
I hope this helps.
Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
Antoxid HC is not available in my country. Can I now use super antioxidants? If I take it in one month, when can I take it again? I would like to know the protocol for supplements. Can I take women multivitamins along with vitamin supplements such as C and E? Does omega-3 have similar benefits as antioxidants? Is collagen powder good for the skin?
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Yes, you can take a Lim-O tablet (vitamin C and zinc) for two months. And, also omega 3 can be taken.
I hope this helps.
Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.
