Ok, I will be starting tonite (really, I will!). Thank you VERY much for starting this challenge jimmie!

Here's what I take:

Total EFA (omega 3-6-9 w/ Borage, Fish and Flax Oils)
Vitamin D
Potassium (for red skin in the face and it really works, you'd think I'd remember at least that one)
Acidophilus
Calcium
Green Tea Extract

Gonna go load my pill box now!

Sillygirl! I have a problem with rosacea (spelling). Is that what you are taking the potassium for? I didn't realize this would be helpful for that problem. I will have to add that to my list.

Question -- what do you take the green tea extract for?

[biogeek]

I've taken my morning set of vitamins already. The next set happens in the evening.

Ok I took one multivit and an Ibuprofen today I wanted a valium but ..fresh out

I just take a multivit from Trader Joes it seems to include everything I need and does not cost an arm and a leg ....

this may be the only challenge on the board I can actually follow through with!


congrats to you JJ for becoming another mod!!! good for you!!!

Took my morning set of vitamins. I'd type out what I take, but it's a long list. LOL I'll probably start my own thread of what I take, when, and why. I'll still report here, though!!

[jimmie 48]

go ahead and start a reporting thread for the week, bio. we'll use this thread mostly for anyone wanting to join up.
in fact, it would be perfectly fine with me if you started a thread each monday for the week so we can keep each other accountable during the week. does that make sense?

I don't have rosacea, per se, just too many years in the sun and have tiny spider veins on chest/cheeks. Yes, Potassium (Vitamin K) really works for getting rid of the redness. A girl at Sephora told me about it! You should try it. Mine are 99 mg. Odd number of mg, but whatever, and this morning, the redness is already better!

The green tea I take for the anti-oxidants and supposedly it helps you lose weight. That part I don't believe for a second, but the anti oxidants part seems logical.

Makes sense to me, jimmie!

SG, that LA sun is HOT!!! When I visited your city, I used SPF 50, wore a hat, & STILL got sunburned!!! DH was the same way.

Thanks for that information, Sillygirl. I am definitely putting that on my list of Vitamins I need to purchase. It wouldn't hurt me to throw in that green tea extract, too.

I took my vitamins this morning! I have a long list too of the things I take. Sometime this weekend I hope to write them all down and share with everybody.
