Can Swiss Men's Multivitamins support my smoking father's health?

my father is 44 years old and is a smoker. He takes Tamsulosin, Seroxat, and Ascard, and he has recently started taking Respi Care. I’m looking for advice on multivitamins or supplements that could support his health, especially considering his smoking habits. I’ve heard about Swiss Men’s Multivitamins and would like to know if they would be suitable for him. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Given his smoking habit, a good multivitamin can help fill nutritional gaps. Swiss Men’s Multivitamins may be suitable, as they often include antioxidants and essential vitamins to support overall well-being. However, it's crucial to ensure that any supplements don't interact with his current medications. Please encourage him to speak with his healthcare provider before adding any new vitamins or supplements. This will help tailor advice specifically to his health needs and ensure safety. Supporting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular check-ups, is also beneficial.

B12 and folate deficiency treatment

Male | 22

Vitamin B12 and folate insufficiencies often show up with symptoms like tiredness, weakness, and some neurological troubles. Insufficient diet, some medical issues, and absorption barriers are some basic contributors. To overcome these deficits, one has to take B12-rich foods like meat, milk, and cereal that have been fortified, and also folate-rich foods such as green vegetables, beans, and oranges. Sometimes, they have to apply supplements. I suggest you visit a nurse/physician for your assessment and counseling because they will be the ones who can tell you what to do.

I'm 22 but I'm only 40 kg now. I'm too much skinny. I have hypothyroidism, IBS, chronic gastric issues & digestive issues. I'm experiencing bad breath since a long time. I've tried a lot to gain weight & to reduce bad breath but these two are not happening anyway.

Female | 22

At 22, your weight and ongoing symptoms can be concerning. Hypothyroidism often affects metabolism, while IBS and digestive issues may hinder nutrient absorption, impacting your weight and overall health. Additionally, persistent bad breath could result from gut imbalances or oral hygiene concerns. To address these, focus on a balanced diet rich in calories, protein, and healthy fats, and consider small, frequent meals. Staying hydrated and maintaining good oral hygiene are essential. It’s important to discuss your situation with a healthcare professional, who can provide tailored strategies and monitor your health effectively.
