Hello all- I have been struggling with the right vitamins to take. My suergon and nutritionist said that 3 viactiv a day, and 2 flintstones, as well as 500 mcg B12.
Well, after reading different books, and talking to some people on here, this is what I have done.
I went to vitamin world, and I got these:
Natures plus adults chewable multi-vitamin (pinapple) $31.29
Solaray sublingual biotin: 1000 mcg $8.25 (orange flavor)
Liqu mins cal/mag/zinc liquid calcium $24.95 (pina colada flavor)
I am starting to feel run down, so I looked at what I was taking, and took a step foward to correct it. I work full time, have a 4 year old and I have no time to be run down.
Hope this helps!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
The vit. C helps you digest the Iron. Do not take the Iron within 2 hours after eating, and do not eat for 1 hour after taking it. You will not have enough stomach acid to digest it properly.
What Amelia said about the calcium carbonate vs. citrate is correct. This is also due to stomach acid issues. we do not have enough stomach acid to digest the carbonate. If you take it you are wasting your time and money. It will just be pushed through and out of your system into the cities system (sewer! ;) )
The calcium citrate is digested farther into the small intestine so it absorbs better.
God Bless!
