NT factor during triple therapy

[JRenquist]

Hi all,
Does anyone have any info about/ experience with/ opinion about continuing to take NT factor during treatment with telaprevir?  I've been taking it with good results. but am not sure whether I should stop taking it when I start treatment.  My doctor doesn't think any alternative therapies have any effect at all (except for St. John's Wort being bad), so I know what he would say if I asked.Thanks

Thanks for the info.  I'll try calling the drug companies, but if I don't get a definitive answer I guess I'll NOT take it during therapy.  It seems to help me a LOT, but I started taking it a few months after I treated last time and it's hard to say whether it's the NT factor that helped or whether my body just got over the residual effects.  Guess I might be finding out pretty soon.  I think I'd feel comfortable taking something that is present in a normal diet , but I looked up some of the ingredients (thanks, Odin) and can't figure it out.

I would ask your doc about it and maybe call the drug companies, they seem to be pretty helpful. Incevik has there own website with a lot of info. I've been taking mega men for years because I love the results, I told my doc and he seems to think the vitamins I'm taking are helping with my side effects. I'm on week 10 of incevik and no rash, just fatigue and minimal sore glands. Good luck. Joe

Interesting. Sorry that I can't answer your question but I would like to know more about NT Factor. What exactly is it? Described as "a proprietary blend phospholipids and glycolipids" am I imagining blends of Krill Oil and so on.

I found the following but it does not give details of the two main substance(s) used:

Two tablets contain: Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopherol) 20 IU, NT Factor Maximum Potency 1500 mg- Mitochondria Pro Regulator 260 mg, Calcium (as phosphate/sulfate/pyruvate), Phosphorus (as calcium phosphate), and Magnesium (as sulfate), Krebs Cycle Glucose Absorb 180 mg- Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid and L-Tyrosine, and RN Fatty Acid Metabolizer 140 mg- L-Carnitine-L-Tartrate and Pantetine (as coenzyme A precursor)

Other ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, croscamellose sodium, methyl cellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, silica.
