Will vitamin C, Zinc, and biotin affect Nexplanon?
Hi! I have started taking a vitamin C/Zinc immune supplement for the winter. It has 270 mg of vitamin C, and 15 mg of zinc. I am also taking biotin. Does this interfere with Nexplanon?

Answered on 31st Dec '24
The conceivable side effects of the implant include lessened bleeding, mood swings, or headaches, but those are not most often vitamins or nutritional supplements. Biotin intake, too, would not influence Nexplanon in all likelihood. Nevertheless, reactions may be different in different people. Should you have any specific concerns or feel some symptoms that are not common, it is better to see your healthcare professional.

Can we take plant protein and probiotics capsules together?
Male | 27
It is safe to take the two simultaneously - the plant protein and the probiotics capsules. Plant protein assists in the muscle-building process while probiotics ensure proper gut health. The only rare case with this combination might be slight abdominal discomfort. If you are bloated or gassy, then it would be good if you could try taking them at different times. Also, drink a lot of water with both.

I have a bmi of 52.0, I am 17, is it safe for me to go on a 800-900 calorie a day diet if I take a multivitamin and the proper vitamin supplements? If so, for how long would it be safe?
Female | 17
Your BMI at the age of 52.0 is very high for you. Only 800-900 calories of food a day can be dangerous and can cause serious health problems like fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, and muscle loss. It is not safe to even keep your calories so low. On the contrary, concentrate on developing good habits such as consuming balanced meals and exercising regularly. If you are thinking of bringing changes to your diet, it is good to consult a doctor or dietitian to create a safe and effective plan for weight loss.

My 5-year-old son is underweight for his age. What are some high-calorie, nutritious foods I can offer to help him gain weight in a healthy manner?
Male | 32
Sometimes, being too thin is also a result of not eating enough or having a quick metabolism. Some of the symptoms may be exhaustion or frequent illnesses. To promote healthy weight gain in your son, give him meals with nuts, seeds, nut butter, avocado, full-fat dairy, lean meats, and whole grains. These provide extra calories and nutrients for his growing body. Be aware that it is always a good idea to seek advice from a nutritionist or doctor before starting any program that will help you provide your children with what they need.

My 16-year-old daughter wants to go on a diet to lose weight, but I'm concerned about her doing it healthily. What advice can I give her to ensure she's making safe and balanced choices?
Female | 38
I understand your concern about your daughter wanting to be on a diet to lose weight. She needs to be healthy while doing this. Skipping meals or eating very little can lead to feeling tired, dizzy, or weak. Instead of that, suggest to her to eat balanced meals with the help of eating lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins. Also, she has to be active, so a dietician or her doctor can help her to make a plan that's right for her

Face ko mota karne ke liye kuchh syrup.ya medicine
Female | 24
To add fat to your face, it's important to first understand why it might be thin. Some believe that eating healthy food means the face won't lack fat, but that's not always true. Focus on proteins like eggs, lean meats, and beans. You can also try facial exercises like puffing your cheeks or chewing gum to strengthen your muscles and make your face appear fuller. However, it's always a good idea to check with a dietitian before making changes to your diet or exercise routine.

You are facing an issue with putting on muscle mass, although you follow a good diet. It is worth mentioning that this could also be a consequence of poor digestion. Having symptoms such as a tendency to have loose stools often could be a sign of digestive problems. Seeing a doctor's advice is a must. Including more easily Digestible foods such as bananas, rice, and toast will be helpful. Besides, taking in enough water can be effective in digestion.

my mother had an MVR surgery in December 2020, at the time of discharge doctor told her to avoid green leafy vegetables, cabbage and tomatoes. After one year of periodically visiting our doctor told us the same thing but now it's been 2 years we didn't visit the doctor because of some financial issue. Now my mother's PT is 12.6 and INR is 2.8. Now can she eat leafy greens?
Female | 54
Dark leafy vegetables are high in vitamin K, which can affect blood thinners like warfarin. High PT and INR levels mean it is taking longer for the blood to clot, indicating a potential risk if the levels are too high. Despite their heart health benefits, Mom must avoid leafy greens for now. The best thing is to consult a dietician for personalized advice and guidance.

Tsh value -27.5 mg and Sugar leval 449 . Need diet plan and foods to regulate.
Female | 55
Your TSH level is high at 27.5 mg. Sugar level's also elevated - 449. These numbers suggest thyroid issues might exist. Uncontrolled blood sugar too. High TSH causes fatigue, and weight gain. Elevated sugars lead to excessive thirst and frequent urination. Diet changes can help regulate both conditions. Focus on veggies, fruits, and whole grains. Limit sugary foods and drinks. Water, herbal teas are better options. Regular physical activity aids management too.

What are the supplements to take for my deficiency? What should I avoid? I am planning to go to the gym, and I would like to know about other protein sources and supplements like multivitamins. I stay in a PG hostel, so I don’t have access to much food and couldn’t manage my diet properly. I have a vitamin D3 deficiency in my blood. What should I do? Please recommend the supplements and overall health plan. How much mg should I take regularly? Please check it.
Male | 22
Take a vitamin D3 addition of 1000-2000 IU daily to rectify your deficiency, but you should not miss a consultation with a healthcare professional for the personalized recommendation. If you can manage a diet of limited food, try to eat more protein sources such as eggs, yogurt, and legumes. Apart from that multivitamins can also help to bridge the nutrition gap. It is suggested to remain active during the day and catch some sun too which would support the increment of vitamin D. Cut down on both caffeine and junk food. Your health expert will, without a doubt, be the right person to turn to if you are feeling tired or have muscle weakness and you are always urged to consult a doctor. You are the main focus in the healthcare system and you are not the only one who needs care.
