    Question UK Dieters, Supplement Advice??

    I need some advice on supplements before I start the diet next week. Is there any UK dieters here with any suggestions what exactly and where to buy?


    Thanks

    I've been taking Tesco Complete Multivitamins + Multiminerals (one a day) for the last year. Along with a 1000mg fish oil capsule which I bought from Vitslim on e-bay UK Vitamins Minerals Herbals cod liver oil glucosamine zinc items in VitSlim store on eBay!
    Because i was having a problem with leg cramps I also bought Calcium Magnesium Zinc & Vitamin D from Vitslim Vitamins Minerals Herbals cod liver oil glucosamine zinc items in VitSlim store on eBay!

    Thanks for the quick reply. Do the Tesco Complete Multivitamins + Multiminerals both state (No Iron) as what the book says to check for?

    Right now I take Tesco Cod Liver Oil (550mg) daily. Should these be ok to keep taking?

    Thanks again

    It's a combined tablet. I couldn't find one without Iron, there is 14mg in each tablet in these. Nothing wrong with Cod Liver Oil as far as I know.

    Superdrugs sell vitamins without iron. You need to check the jar as the "with iron" and "without iron" labels look similar.

    Vegetables most dense in nutrients are lowest in sugar and should be your primary choices.

    Thanks for the help. I'll see about getting ones without the Iron just so I'm going with the book

    I think they are "own brand" ones.

    One more question, from reading DANDR2002 it says about Basic #3 taking 3 supplements a day. And Ive been told from the new book its only 1 a day. Can someone clear this up for me?
