HELLO,
THESE ALL ARE FANCY NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT OF DOUBTFUL VALUE. YOU CAN TAKE THEM IN RECOMMENDED DOSES BUT I DONT THINK THEY WILL CAUSE MUCH HELP. TRY TO PROVIDE HER NATURAL PROTEIN RICH DIET. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS. DO YOGA AND MEDITATION.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
