Your test doesn't really look too bad. I'm a bit jealous! Does it fit the way you are feeling?
As far as your supplements go I've never tried to substitute. I think most of us here feel like we've been down that road of 'fiddling' with things but that's why we ended up on NB. I know it looks like a lot of pills but they all have their purpose and, really you'll get used to it after a while. I have a whole cabinet over my stove just for pills and it looks like a lot but I barely even notice anymore, it's just second nature to take them.

Thanks for the reply. It doesn't fit the way I feel. Most time I feels o tired, depressed and fatigued. Problem with ordering their supplements is the budget. Currently I'm unemployed and cannot afford to spend $165 per month just on supplements. One thing I noticed is that sometimes when i take too many pills at same time I get headche and some of those capusles smell so nasty.- Re: My Hair Mineral Analysis Test Re... onedaysoon

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,045,935Perhaps your fatigue and Depression have to do with your zinc. I know for men especially getting the zinc to climb makes a big difference. Can really help with your hormones. But your test is really good for a first test! I bet you'll be feeling like yourself in no time if you follow the protocol.
I get that about the budget. It's pretty hard sometimes. Just do the best you can:)- Re: My Hair Mineral Analysis Test Re... health82

I already started taking 50mg zinc per day. Hopefully it will improve my condition sooner. I have been under alot mental stress since last 5 years and it leads to physical exhaustion as well. I really have to get my diet on track. Always been a hard gainer.

Hi Health 82,
What you can do is the pills 2 x's aday, you will get great benefits from that. It will cost less too.
Selenium you probably can by a brand in the vitamin store cheaper..look into that one.

I am with Onedaysoon, just a little jelous, your numbers are not to far off..This is nice to see.
I tried to substitute the megapan with other multi vitamin, that went very wrong for me...the vitamin B's were very stimulating and can cause you not to calm your adrenals down for them to heal.
I did substitute the fish oil, with I thought a much better quality: http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=SL-2825
Here so you can understand the ratio's and what they mean.

Google AdvertisementThis is a reply to # 2,045,904Your Ca/Mg ratio shows a severe Sugar and simple carbohydrate sensitivity. I had the same problem when I started. This caused a debilitating fatigue for me. I have adhered to a fairly strict Paleo diet which has brought this ratio to the near ideal. I no longer have those dreaded low blood Sugar reactions and can now go many hours without food.
Calcium/Magnesium (Ca/Mg) Ratio:
•Referred to as the blood-sugar ratio
•Normal ratio is 6.67:1
•Calcium is required for the release of insulin from the pancreas
•Magnesium inhibits insulin secretion
•Magnesium is necessary to keep calcium in solution
Trends Associated with the Calcium/Magnesium Ratio:
Ratio:
12+
Severe Sugar and simple carbohydrate sensitivity
10 - 12
Hypoglycemia
6.67 - 10
Good
6.67
IDEAL
3.3 - 6.67
Good
3 - 3.3
Hypoglycemia
1 - 3.3
Severe sugar and simple carbohydrate sensitivity
Also, a very high (greater than 16.0) or very low calcium/magnesium ratio (less than 2.0) is associated with mental or emotional disturbances.
Factors which may Modify the Interpretation of the Ratio:
•Calcium or magnesium loss will raise the levels temporarily
•Cortisone therapy will lower calcium levels
•Cortisone therapy will raise both sodium and potassium levels
•Lead and cadmium toxicity will displace calcium
