100%Sleeved 148 Posted February 7, 2012 Before vsg I would NEVER I repeat NEVER take my Vitamins. I now take vitafusion multivites and vitafusion Calcium (they are sooo delicious) I have to hide them from my husband and daughter. In addition to these I take Centrum chewables because it has more Iron. I asked my doc if I was taking to much and he said too many vitamins can't hurt so every chance I get I treat myself with a calcium Gummy trying not to exceed 5 in a day. I drink lots of Water to keep from getting gall stones. Has anyone else fallen in love with vitamins? If so, what kind do you take? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fitforlife 18 Posted February 7, 2012 Actually I would be careful taking too many Vitamins. you can overload you system on 4 vitamins ---A,D,E,K. These are fat soluble vitamins, so if you take too much, you do not pee them out like all the other vitamins. hypervitaminosis is a well know syndrome and you want to avoid this. so take the recommended amounts and try not to overdue it.

Goslin 13 Posted February 7, 2012 Even though I have not had surgery(hope to have it this summer), I take my Vitamins. Most of us are Vit D deficient, so it doesn't hurt if we take more of the D3. Of course, with your location, you may get enough, if you spend enough time outside. However, I will not dispute that A,D,E,K are fat soluble, and are the ones that can be overdosed on.

Before surgery I was so malnutrioned (is that a word?) my doc said it wouldn't hurt to take enough vitimans. At my next appointment I will have blood work done and I will definitely know if I'm doing too much then I will back off lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
