ADVICE

Choose Cleaner Magnesium Supplements

  • Avoid magnesium supplements with silicon dioxide or magnesium stearate as anti-caking agents to reduce intake of less desirable fillers.
  • Look for magnesium bisglycinate supplements with minimal ingredients, preferably only the active magnesium compound and clean vegetable capsules.
ADVICE

Creatine Use in Pregnancy

  • During pregnancy, prioritize prenatal vitamins with methylfolate, omega-3s, probiotics, vitamin D, and iron in the last trimester.
  • Use creatine cautiously in pregnancy, possibly at half the normal dose, to support muscle maintenance while minimizing bodily stress.
ADVICE

Manage Supplements with MTHFR & COMT

  • With MTHFR and COMT heterozygous variants, continue methylated B complex and essential nutrients while monitoring reactions to supplements.
  • Avoid high doses of COMT inhibitors like quercetin or green tea if adverse effects occur, as dosage and individual responses vary.
