I've done a lot of research into supplements, and am taking a bunch. These work for me. As a start, try her on a multi, vit D and cal/mag.
Source Naturals Lifeforce Multi Capsules
Minami Omega Fish Oil, 3g
(a cheap fish oil will result in burping up a bad taste, means the oil is rancid; plus, cheap fish oils use cheap fish sources and bad processing which results in making the oil next to useless)
Healthy Origins Co-enzyme Q10 ubiquinol 200mg
Source Naturals DLPA 1500mg,
(helps brain function and if you have associated pain with depression)
Source Naturals N-Acetyl Tyrosine 300mg,
(helps DLPA get absorbed)
Metagenics, Magnesium Glycinate, 400mg
(take a couple of hours before bed; note to take a good version of magnesium, most stores sell the cheap magnesium oxide which will cause diarrhea)
Vitamin D, (D-Drops), 2000 I.U.
(Most in the Northern Hemisphere are deficient in Vitamin D, the RDA of 400IU is not enough to protect us, recommended to up it to 2000 IU by most doctors. The Source Naturals multi-vitamin has 1000 IU in it already, and I've increased it as it helps the nervous system)
Source Naturals Megafolonic 800mcg
Source Naturals B12 Methylcobalamin
(B12 is best absorbed under the tongue or by injection, extremely little absorbed by pill format)
