What kind of vitamins are you taking?

[scaleskl]

What type of vitamins or multivitamin are you all using on induction?

PG. 135 of DANDR suggests Chrominum Picolinate 200-600 mcg
and a broad multivitamin, preferably with low Iron.

I am currently taking a multivitaamin (Women's one a day). Just was curious and want to know some specific name brands.

Thanks!

i buy my Multivitamis (No Iron) from Puritans Pride... they always have specials like buy 1 get 2 free or buy 2 get 3 xtra! these Multivitamins are just like the Old Scool One a Day's... the little red pill - for those who remember back then... go check it out! its pretty cool...! PURITAN DOT COM... they have lots of other stuff too and its cheaper because they make their own vitamins...

Holand and Barratt (UK) Geriatric multivitamins and minerals - they have no iron.

Should not have extra iron on Atkins.

If you haven't read Dr. Atkins Vita Nutrient Solution, I strongly recommend it. I take serious the advice of anyone who played tennis at age 72 and walked 2 miles a day each way to work!

The man lived his diet and he lived QUITE well. He took alot of vitamins and so do I .. here's my daily regimen (per the doctor's recommendation):

CoQ10 (100 mg)
3 calcium (600 mg each)
3 vitamin C
milk thistle
odorless garlic
3 omega 3 fish oil fatty acid
vitamin E
vitamin B complex
biotin
2 cinnamon
2 green tea extract
2 flush-free niacin
multi vitamin

Some people say vitamins are a waste of money and that you end up peeing them out. Well the same can be said for drugs .. my money is on PREVENTIVE medicine, thank you very much. That said, I haven't had a cold in over 6 years.

Hi scaleskl. I take:

-Fish oil with flaxseed oil
-Chromium picolinate
-L-glutamine
-Acetyl L-carnitine
-Women's One A Day
-Buffered Vitamin C Powder
-MSM
-Selenium
-Biotin

(need to buy some CoQ10). I buy a lot of my vitamins from Swanson (www.swansonvitamins.com). They have a lot of deals, send you their vitamin magazine, and shipping is always $4.95 if the items you purchased are under $65 (free shipping over $65). I get my buffered Vitamin C powder from www.vitapurity.com and my MSM powder from www.bio-alternatives.net. I hope this helps.
