Vitamins?

[HeatherJay]

Right now I take one multi vitamin and one calcium pill daily. Should I be taking anything else?

Thanks what I take too. I also take Vitamin E because it's good for the hair and nails.

The quality of vitamins differs greatly. Stay away from synthetic versions (Normally the ones sold in supermarkets).



I use Neways off the internet, because I'm sure of their very high quality, but I'm sure there are many other quality brands.



Complex Vit C high strength (got to be the complex as just ascorbic acid won't work) is very good.



My daily intake is

Neways Orachel (Multi)

Neways Revenol (Antioxidant)

Chelated Zinc 25mg

Selenium 200

Between 2-5 grams of Vit C complex powder by www.vitalminerals.org



I also have about 20-30 apricot seeds per day for B-17 (although I’ve ran out at the moment)

Taking selenium would be a very good idea as well, along with Vitamin E, it helps to slow down the aging process and is great for your organs. How about iron tablets? In case, you're not getting enough..

I have taken one multi vitamin mineral pill a day for 40 something years. about 15 years ago i started taking in addition to my multi extra b, c, e, a@d, zink,fish oil and limu. When i read of my list to doctors they are usually taken aback and ask why i take so much. Has it helped my? I think it has. Both my parents had diabetices, both had high blood pressure and both died from heart disease. one brother and one sister have diabetices. My 2 brothers and my sister have all had heart bypasses. I so far have escaped it all (i am the second oldest). The only med i take is for my thyroid which i just started taking. All the vitamins i take cost less than what my sibs have had to pay for their health problems. I thank God first and formost for my good health and second I thank the vitamins and my exercise program.
