Hi all, just wondering where you all are getting your Vitamins or what you use. Please share and I will also share my successes and the great vitamins that I currently use already. Thank you

My Vitamin requirements are similar to those of bandsters:

2x adult dose of a complete Multi-Vitamin, 1 dose in AM, 1 in PM

1500 mg of Calcium citrate in 500mg doses 3x a day.

Then, since my calcium citrate doesn't have Vitamin D in it, I also take 1 Vitamin D tablet (700 IU) along with the Calcium to help it absorb better.

I also was taking something for hair, Skin & Nails to help with Hair loss -- this tends to happen around the 3 month mark. But right now I'm too early out to swallow it easily (even crushed) so I've stopped taking it for a while.

Hi,

I was just told to take a multivitamin... these were the suggestions:

A Gummie Vitamin (childrens) double the dose

A chewable Adult vitamin (single dose)

After price checking at wally werld i chose the Centrum chewables (orange flavor) and take one each morning. I feel like a kid chewing them up! :laugh:

Be sure to read the labels. Most Gummy Vitamins do *not* have enough of various ingredients. chewables and liquids tend to have less "stuff" than pills you swallow because there are a few minerals and Vitamins that just can't be made to taste okay. But in the early days, most of us can't choke down a big Vitamin. Centrum, in general, has decent vitamins. I'm on Centrum Chewables, myself, but want to move to the pills when I can.

If you are a woman, you need more Calcium. :laugh: Okay, I can't guarantee that, but I think there is a 90% chance, you need more. When you get your labs done, be sure the don't just check serum calcium, but also Vit. D and PTH. If PTH is high and Vit. D is low, then you need more calcium.
