> My 25 year old son has been suffering from ocd and has shown amazing results taking inositol 12grams. I have read how supplements are beneficial. I can't find out how much of each to take? How much
magnesium - 500mg, get citrate or another oragnic form like that, if you get oxide or something it won't absorb (and will fix any constipation you didn't even know you had....)
,calicum - 1g, less important than getting several thousand IU of vitamin D3, which controls calcium absorbtion
, b6 - i would get a b-vitamin complex
, omega 3 oils - 2-3g per day of combined EPA/DHA (not the same as total fish oil, look for the active amount). could try up to 4-5 a day. at highest amounts watch for slow clotting of cuts, immune system supression (nagging colds, etc)
etc. does he need to take daily? also what is helpful for sleep?if sleep initiation is problem, melatonin an hour before bed could help. if he's waking up, i don't think there is a sup that will really be effective, get some trazodone or something.
