Hi @LAK – B Better’s got you covered! 🙂 You can find more ways to support her healing with our Healing Broken Bones protocol HERE located in Success>Protocols>Preventative and Post Care.

Wishing her a swift recovery!

Hey B

I had a look at the protocol – I found Thorne CalMag and vitamin C but the magnesium is citrate not glycinate. Would you recommend I give her this as its powder form and easier to take. The magnesium supplements in general are quite big. otherwise I also have biotics research actimag plus which has magnesium 400mg as well as the B vitamins. and I can add the vitamin c vials from marny.

Same with the Omega 3 pills – they are quite big. Do you have any recommendations for this?

In terms of collagen – can I give her the Healthnag brand? I have this already.

I have the throne brand of curcumin, 500mg two capsules. Is that too much?

Which brand of vitamin A do you recommend?

She has been taking panadol for pain relief as it just happened yesterday. I am hoping the pain will ease in a few days.

Best, Lana

Hi @LAK – it’s ok to open up capsules and mix with water/fresh OJ if a child can’t swallow pills or you can’t find a good powdered form.

Omega-3 is pretty hard to mask, and I’ve found it easier to add citrus flavor along with it. So lemon juice for example.

If reputable, any collagen brand should do.

You can find recommended dosages of curcumin HERE. Keep in mind, this is for adults. For children, I usually apply Clark’s rule: for children aged 2-17. Take the child’s weight
in pounds and divide by 150 pounds. Multiply the fractional result by the adult
dose to find the equivalent child dosage. For example, if an adult dose of
tincture calls for 30 drops and the child weighs 30 pounds, divide the child’s
weight by 150 (30/150) to get 1/5. Multiply 1/5 times 30 drops to get 6 drops. You can do the same with powder and capsules but it’s more of an approximation.

For vitamin A, I personally like and use Biotics Research Bio-Ae. I believe Seeking Health also has a vitamin A.

Morning B,

Lovely thank you for sharing this – how useful! so the protocol is based on a adult and I will use the formula to get her dosage. For example for the magnesium she would need 288mg and the acti- mag from biotech (which also has B vitamins) is 400mg in one scoop – I could just give her half even though its a little less but I cant really measure it otherwise.

As for the omega – I will do my best but I doubt she will accept lol she tried once to open it and she got traumatised lol

What about black seed oil? This is good for inflammation. Would you recommend this?

@LAK – yes, the protocol is for an adult, so dosages need to be adjusted for children.

Black seed oil is also an amazing anti-inflammatory! Regarding dosages, there is limited clinical research on its use in children, but it has been shown to be safe in low doses. One study investigated the effects of black seed oil as an add-on therapy for children with intractable epilepsy. The study found that while the oil was generally well-tolerated, higher doses (80 mg/kg/day) were associated with gastrointestinal side effects. So a dose of 40 mg/kg/day is considered safer for pediatric use.

So for example, if she weighs 50 lbs (divide by 2.2 to get her weight in kg), so you’d multiply weight in kg by 40. So 50 pounds / 2.2 * 40 = 910mg/day. Check the serving size on the bottle to determine how much to then give.

Hope that helps!
