Vitamins

[ssbthodge 92]

Just curious, what type of Vitamins do you take and how many mg/day? The only thing my dr recommended was Centrum silver Multivitamin 2 per day. I started taking extra Biotin since I started losing hair but not sure how much to take per day.

I take an over-the-counter multivitamin, usually 1 Centrum or 2 Flintstones complete. I also take ferrous fumarate (a.k.a. iron), calcium citrate, Vitamin D 2000 units, Vitamin A 2500 units, and a Vitamin B complex.

The vitamin A and B complex are not usual pillars of bariatric supplementation, but I developed a thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency from excessive coffee drinking, so I take a vitamin B complex to address that. I also had a pre-existing vitamin A deficiency prior to surgery due to hypothyroidism, so I take vitamin A.

Since I'm a female of childbearing age who menstruates, I take Iron.
