What Vitamins/Supplements do You Take?
Just for the sake of interest, I've asked the question. Here are mine:
Multi-vitamin without iron Cal/mag/potassium Vitamin C Karen |
Spectrum-Forte (Multi)
Cal/Meg 500mg/500mg Potassium 600mg |
When I started the Group Programme, I switched to:
Kirkland (Costco) Formula Forte (Senior)multi-vitamin capsules. Prior to this programme I was only taking daily one 500 mcg of Chromium GTF as per CAD's book. Regards Joe |
daily supplements
- multi-vitamin & mineral (Jamieson Super Vita-Vim)
- Cal-Mag 2:1 ... 3 x per day - I use NoSalt ... 1/8 tsp mixed in glass of water = 320mg potassium ... 2 x per day - 400 IU vitamin E - fresh flax oil (which I will switch to a blend in ~ 3 or 4 months ... Udo's Choice or Omega Essentials) - in winter, cod liver oil capsules, for vitamin D, which requires 1 hr sunshine daily for the body to make its own Doreen |
supplements
Here's what we take:
Multi-vitamin Cal/Mag x 4 day Omega 3-6-9 Potassium (from time to time) After reviewing my info on fitday, i've been thinking about adding some Vitamin C to the equation. Nat |

Potassium 167mg + Magnesium 50mg + B6 25mg I use no-salt occasionally |

Supplements
I have no idea what to do about supplements! I was going to post a question about this so I was so happy to see this thread! I don't suppose anyone can enlighten me regarding extra supplements when you are working out on a low carb diet. I heard that if you don't you get terrible muscle cramps? Fact or Fiction? There is so much stuff for sale that I don't want to get sucked into spending a ton of $$$$$$ on vitamins when our grocery bill has already doubled:(

Kelley, here's a link to a good discussion on supplements and dosage. It should prove helpful
http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...nts+AND+calcium Nat P.S. the globe icon at the top of the page (to the right) is a search function. It can be an invaluable tool. |
Thanks!
Thanks once again Nat! I can see that you are a tremendous source of help and support to everyone on the forum! Thanks for directing some of it at me :)
