supplements questions

[rain74]

Is it okay to take all my supplements at the same time? I am taking the following (to help with my cholesterol):

pantethine 900 mg total daily
essential oils formula 7200 mg total
vitamin C 1 grm total
GLA (borage oil) 400mg total
garlic 1200 mg total
vitamin E 800 total

I am planning to take all the above twice daily except the borage oil and the essential oils formula, which I will only take in the mornings. Will I be okay, or should take different ones throughout the day? It's kind of inconvenient to take space them out through day and I might forget to take some of them. THanks to all who can answer my questions!

There should be no problems with taking them together.

Is that 7200 mg twice a day, or 7200 total, at 3600 each time? Ditto for the vitamin C.

That's a lot of the oils--most recs are for about 1 gram total, maybe 1.5? I've found I do better if I spread my intake out as much as reasonable, but I also agree, it has to be manageable. I carry little film cannisters (remember those?) and take one at breakfast, one at lunch, and one at dinner. I also have some supplements I take when I brush my teeth. I set up 9 or 10 days' worth of supplements at a time, so I only have to grab three cannisters for any day and I'm ready to go.

cs carver,

In Dr. Atkins Vita nutrient book, he recommeded 7200 mg a day to help with high cholesterol. I went back to double check the label on his essential oils bottle, and it said one serving was two capsules, which equals about 3400 mg. I am only planning on taking two of those HUGE capsules once a day, so I guess I am not even taking the 7200 he recommends. It's just way too many pills for me. AS for the vit c, I will be taking 500 mg twice daily for a total of 1grm. Hoped that answered your questions, and thanks for enquiring!
