As a super simple thought, if you take an iron supplement do you reckon it might help at all?
Asking because when I occasionally get that, it generally means I'm so low in iron that I need to supplement for a while. (Some history of mild anaemia in the family, but nothing to worry about in itself.)
Note, not thinking it'd be a solution here. More a workaround that might help. :)
- dagorenouf 4y agoI’m experimenting different supplements one by one to see if they have an impact. Right now trying Lactoferrin for the past 10 days which does seem to improve things a bit. it helps transport iron to the right places + supposedly helps dry up the virus by holding the iron from it (iirc). I might add iron on top in a few days to see if it helps, thanks! Zinc seems to have some use as well.
- kevviiinn 4y agoHave you tried magnesium? Do you get enough potassium?
- dagorenouf 4y agoI’ve been taking 500mg magnesium caps every night. But potassium I haven’t, what do you think it would help with?
- kevviiinn 4y agoIt isn't advised to supplement potassium but you can get a lot from bananas or dates. It can help with a lot of things from muscle relaxation to blood pressure, lower all cause mortality has been associated with daily potassium intake of (iirc) 4.4 or 4.8g+ Also make sure you have a chelated form of magnesium for improved bioavailability, the oxide kinda sucks
- dagorenouf 4y agogood call, i was using old magnesium pills of mediocre quality so will look into it
