Just thought I would share this articl with everyone. Good information!
Dr. Gregory Carter (CMT expert at U of Washington in Seattle) recommends the following supplements to persons with CMT.
Multi-mineral vitamin
5HTP (with cautions) (anti-depression and sleep–aid)
L-glutamine (skeletal muscle health)
L-Taurine (skeletal muscle maintenance)
L-leucine (increases the synthesis of muscle proteins)
L-methionine (amino acid)
L-tyrosine (for energy)
L-theanine (muscle spasms/twitching)
Ester C (Ester-C® Calcium Ascorbate is a unique and patented form of vitamin C. It is made using a proprietary, water-based manufacturing process which results in a pH neutral product that contains naturally occurring vitamin C metabolites. These metabolites activate the vitamin C molecules making it easier for the body to transport them from cell to cell for numerous health benefits.)
Calcium (Calcium is an essential dietary element, a constant blood calcium level being essential for the maintenance of the normal heartbeat, and for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles. Calcium ion is essential in a wide variety of important physiological processes, including muscle contraction, neuronal excitability, neurotransmitter and hormonal release, membrane integrity and permeability, signal transduction, enzyme function, and blood coagulation.)
Magnesium (An essential element which influences many enzymes needed to produce cellular energy and nerve and muscle message transmission. It affects nervous, muscular and cardiovascular systems. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. In humans it is found in bones, teeth, and red blood cells, magnesium activates many enzyme systems (such as those involved in protein digestion and energy production).
Zinc (protects against premature aging muscles of the body)
