Supplements can be extremely beneficial for maintaining optimal health in general, and are even more important for those with autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis. In addition to eating a balanced and well-rounded diet, I find it necessary to take certain supplements to really take my health to the next level. The supplements that I take
