What vitamins are you taking?
| Tue, 01-13-2004 - 8:17am |
Hi
I've been trying to take a multivitamin (one-a-day weight smart) for some time now but haven't been very consistent. I also bought yesterday Omega 3/6 vitamins and Folic Acid/B-Complex vitamins (both Oil of Olay, they were on sale and I had a coupon!). A seprate calcium supplement is on my list to buy.
What about you guys?
Also does anyone take a fiber supplement?

Susan,
This months Prevention magazine listed some great benefits of Omega-3 supplements.

Here's a good tip from Dr. Agatston in one of his Q&A interviews:
What vitamins or supplements are recommended for this diet?
Three very large studies that were concluded over the past two years have demonstrated that the antioxidant supplements such as Vitamins E, C, and A do not prevent heart attacks, stroke, or cancer. In contrast, there is very good evidence that the natural vitamins found in whole fruits and vegetables help prevent these diseases.
At this time we do recommend a multi-vitamin and a fish oil supplement (omega-3) with the maximum EPA. There are good studies that fish oil is an important nutrient in the Western diet, replacing it has numerous good effects on our health. The other supplements we often recommend are a combination of folic acid, B6, B-12, which help lower our homocysteine levels.

Those are exactly the ones that I bought. :) Maybe I read it somewhere and it got stuck in the back of my head. I do feel that I need more calcium too, so I'll be getting one of those shortly. Do you ladies know which kind of calcium are better? I've seen different ones (can't remember any names) - oyster something was one of them I think...
Thanks, Anna
