I'm starting some vitamins in the buhner protocol for colleges tissue support. How long should I wait before adding each new pill? Examples are selenium, b complex, zinc with copper, vitamin E etc

Hi. I think the answers here will vary. I always take one and wait a few days to get a build-up of the supplement in my system before adding another. Generally at least 72 hours as that is always what I heard for a food allergy reaction, etc.

I do the same with herbs. I build up the dose slowly and then wait to see my body reaction. If it is stable for 2-3 days, I move on.

@Kwadash...
With the herbs I keep the dosage for a week then I move to the next dose. BUT I am using higher doses not drops.
For example this week I did 1/4 of tsp ...of andrographis 4 times a day....next week I bump the dose to 1/4 tsp +1/8 but but 4 times a week.

The minute I was diagnosed I added in supplements and had no problem at all. I added in a whole hand full. Supplements are not like herbs, in that you have to try them to see if you are okay with them.

Our bodies do not make some of the supplements - especially magnesium.

Anyway, this is what worked for me..... We are all different.
