Vital nutrient recommendations for Cystic fibrosis (CF)
Genetic metabolic disorder; due to a defective gene, the water and salt balance of the mucous membranes is disturbed.
The recommendation for Cystic fibrosis (CF) covers ten nutrients for acute treatment — most importantly Vitamin K2, Selen and Vitamin D3. You will find the intake and role of each nutrient in the overview.
Recommended nutrients & intake
| Active ingredient | Intake | Priority | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin K2 | 1 capsule(s) of 225 µg | Primary | Take with food, use fermented All-trans Vit. K2. |
| Selen | 8 tablet(s) of 50 µg | Primary | Wichtiges Spurenelement. Tagesdosis 50-200 Mikrogramm. |
| Vitamin D3 | 6 drop(s) of 20 µg | Primary | Intake: with main meal. 20 mcg = 800 IU = 1 drop of vitamin D3 Vida (other products > calculate correct dosage). From 4000 IU: intake of 200 micrograms of vitamin K2 is important (children: not necessary). |
| Omega-3 fatty acids (Fish-Oil) | 2 measuring spoon(s) of 10 ml | Primary | Fish-Oil. Take with a main meal. Alternatives: Krill-Oil (approx. 1.5 times lower dosage) or algae oil (vegan). |
| NADH (Coenzyme 1) | 4 tablet(s) of 20 mg | Primary | Let half of the dose melt under the tongue 20 minutes before breakfast; the remaining dose 2 hours after lunch. Do not take in the evening - may disturb sleep. |
| Magnesium | 2 capsule(s) of 200 mg | Primary | Take with food spread over the day. Important to vitamin D. Avoid Mg-citrates & Mg-oxides. Attention: capsule size refers to the content of elemental magnesium and not to the total of magnesium salts! |
| Immune-activating factors (Immuno Vida) | 3 capsule(s) of 400 mg | Primary | On an empty stomach, 20 minutes before breakfast. Spread dose over one week (not daily) - keep at least 1 day between each dose. ADDITIONALLY WEEKLY total about 40'000 IU vitamin D3 (for efficacy; adapt for children) and because of the high D3 dose about 200 mg vitamin K2 per DAY (both at main meals). Children NO K2. |
| Reishi | 2 capsule(s) of 400 mg | Additional | Organic Reishi Powder and Extract; Take 2 capsules daily with water |
| Probiotics with ferments (liquid) | 1 measuring spoon(s) of 20 ml | Additional | Take on an empty stomach (possibly with 2 dl water); at least 15 (better 30) min before breakfast. Also before, during & after antibiotic treatment (at least 2-3 h apart!). |
| Neovital | 1 measuring spoon(s) of 5 ml | Additional | To be taken away from meals with 2 dl of water. If clinoptilolite is also taken: always at least 1h apart to it! |

Treat acutely or prevent?
Acute treatment
This recommendation is designed for acute treatment: the nutrients are taken until the symptoms clearly subside — usually over several weeks. If symptoms persist, the further duration of intake belongs in medical hands.
