Top 3 Supplements

In addition to getting to the cause of the problem and seeking a health provider to help, there are 3 supplements you should consider if you suffer from dizziness or vertigo.

1. Ginko Biloba
   • Benefits: Ginkgo improves blood circulation by opening up blood vessels and making blood less sticky.
   • Dosage: 120-240 mg per day (can be taking in multiple doses over the day); speak to doctor as there are many potential interactions with prescription drugs.
2. Magnesium
   • Benefits: Magnesium is crucial for muscle and nerve function. Low magnesium levels are linked to vertigo and dizziness.
   • Dosage: 400-800 mg per day; use magnesium bis-glycinate or citrate.
3. Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2
   • Benefits: Vitamin D3 supports immune and neurological function, and low levels are linked to increased dizziness/vertigo. Vitamin K2 works with D3 to ensure proper calcium utilization, supporting bone health and indirectly reducing risk or recurrence of dizziness/vertigo.
   • Dosage: 1000 IUs/day per 40lbs or 18 kg of body weight; 100-200 mcg of vitamin K2 per day; best taken with a meal containing fat for better absorption.
