Asthma

Several studies suggest that certain minerals and vitamins may help manage asthma symptoms. Notable supplements include:

• Vitamin D: Studies show that vitamin D supplementation can improve symptoms of asthma¹.
• Magnesium: Linked to bronchodilation and potentially helpful in asthma management².
• Omega-3 fatty acids: These have anti-inflammatory properties that may be beneficial for asthma³.

Dermatitis

Supplements that may aid in managing dermatitis include:

• Vitamin D: Shows promise in improving symptoms of atopic dermatitis⁴⁵.
• Probiotics: Certain strains like Lactobacillus have been noted for their effectiveness⁶.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: May help with inflammatory skin conditions⁷.
• Vitamin E: Can benefit skin health and potentially alleviate AD symptoms⁸.

Premature Ejaculation

Supplements that might help in managing premature ejaculation include:

• Folic Acid: Shows effectiveness in combination treatments for PE⁹.
• Zinc: Beneficial for reproductive health and found effective in PE management¹⁰.
• Vitamin D: Lower levels are associated with an increased likelihood of PE¹¹.
• Rhodiola Rosea: In combination with other supplements like zinc, it can improve ejaculatory control¹².

Focus

Supplements that could enhance cognitive focus include:

• Caffeine: Shown to improve alertness and cognitive performance, especially in sleep-deprived states¹³.
• Tyrosine: An amino acid that can enhance cognitive performance under stress¹³.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Linked to improved brain function and cognitive performance¹⁴.
• Bacopa Monnieri: Known for nootropic effects helping in memory and attention¹⁵.

For tinnitus, several supplements have been researched for their potential therapeutic benefits:

Zinc

• Effectiveness: Zinc supplementation has shown some promise in treating tinnitus, especially in patients with low blood zinc levels. A study involving tinnitus patients found that oral zinc medication resulted in a significant decrease in tinnitus severity¹.
• Dosage: 50 mg daily.

Antioxidants

• Effectiveness: A randomized study showed that antioxidant supplementation significantly reduced tinnitus loudness and subjective discomfort². Antioxidants such as a-lipoic acid and multi-vitamin supplements were used.
• Dosage: The specific dosage can vary depending on the antioxidant used.

Vitamin B12

• Effectiveness: Vitamin B12 deficiency has been linked to tinnitus. Supplementation with vitamin B12 in deficient patients has been shown to significantly improve tinnitus severity scores³.
• Dosage: Intramuscular therapy of 1 ml Vitamin B12 (2500 mcg) weekly for a period of 6 weeks.

Ginkgo Biloba

• Effectiveness: Despite its popularity, evidence supporting the efficacy of Ginkgo Biloba in treating tinnitus is inconsistent. Some studies advise against its use, citing a lack of proven efficacy and potential for adverse effects⁴.
• Dosage: Typically ranges from 60 mg to 450 mg daily, but standardization and the formulation of the extract can vary.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

• Effectiveness: Less intake of vitamin B2 has been associated with tinnitus. The exact mechanism is not clear, but it is thought to be related to oxidative stress⁵.
• Dosage: Specific dosage guidelines are not well-established for tinnitus and require further research.
