Re: ADBB Vitamin Club Conversation Thread

Oh my gosh I haven't posted here in FOREVER! I'm still on track with my supplements, and I added Co-Q-10 into the mix. I haven't really noticed any "wow" factors from it, so I probably won't be buying any more when I run out.

I also added acidophilus to my regimen. So far, so good!

Re: ADBB Vitamin Club Conversation Thread

please someone review my supplements...

Centrum Silver Multivitamins
Folic Acid (I wanna get pregnant as soon as I reach my goal weight)
Calcium + Vitamin D
Fish Oil (4 per day)
Biotin Superpotency (2 a day.. I heard it helps with hair loss)
Chromium Picolinate

I don't take potassium.. I haven't experienced cramps or anything... but I drink a gallon of water daily.. should I take potassium??

Thank you in advance... xoxo

Hi daniejim,

Your supplement regimen seems ok. On the fish oil, what dose is that per capsule? You don't want to take TOO much of a good thing. As far as adding potassium, you may be covered by your multivitamin on that. Would you please list the mg amount from the label?

Also, according to Dr. Atkins, "the best way to get potassium is from food, not supplements," and he lists parsley, sunflower seeds, almonds, fish, turkey, chicken, mushrooms, spinach, etc. He also suggests buying one of those salt substitutes made from potassium chloride to use on food.

No problem.

You should be fine with that amount of fish oil, but if you wish to increase, speak to a physician first.

I wouldn't worry about your potassium levels at the moment. If you're eating healthy, you should be just fine. If you suspect potassium deficiency, the doctor can prescribe high doses of potassium after doing some blood work, but you're not experiencing issues with that so no worries.

It's the latest crazy of "super foods." Pomegranates are suppose to be full of anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, etc, and at much higher levels than green tea and red wine put together.

I like eating them, but hate getting the seeds out and heaven help me if any juice gets on your clothes! Hopefully your extract is just as good as the real thing without all the hassles.

Re: ADBB Vitamin Club Conversation Thread

good grief, nobody checks in anymore. lol

everybody on track?
fg, what about you? you were forgetful at one time so i'm making sure you are doing good.

i'm out of biotin. but i got B's and that, to me, is more important. i'm on track with everything and jack is too. he is taking his supplements with his evening meal now.
