Vitamins

We as anorexics tend to suffer from minerl deficiency because we pass up most of our daily vitamins and minerals (which come from food). Therefore it is advised to take multi vitamins and thus nsuring that you stay healthy and your body continues to look perfect.

vitamin is good for the nervous system, digestion, muscles, heart and alcohol damaged nerve tissue.

Vitamin B2: (riboflavin)

Vitamin B6: (pyridoxine)

Vitamin B12: (cobalamin)

Folic acid:

Zinc:

WARNING!
do not overdose in vitamins. take the recomended daily amount that you will find on the package. an overdose will result in the opposite effect and can be dangerous to your body.

I've found that with taking vitamins, its like eating and planing a meal. You would not eat the same thing every day. swap your vitamins around and get a covered basis of all vitamins in a week. I recomend up to 4 different vitamins every day so that your body can use them and not dispose of them.

Good luck and stay healthy.
