    The best one I had was Nutrition Care Formula 33SE (a multi vitamin) but the company was bought by an Asian company and it became no longer available in Australia. I am currently taking Bio Ceuticals Multi Essentials. There is also an Immunity one which I have not checked out but people swear by it.

    Don't be afraid to take Vit C tablets and let them dissolve in your mouth. Infections etc cause more iron overload anyway so it is better to get well by whatever means you can. I will take up to 4 x 500 mg a day when I have a cold/flu. Vit ACE being antioxidants which are necessary. Check your B12 and Vit D levels too. They both contribute strongly to wellness.

    I hope you get better very soon - 5 weeks is too long.
