I don't I don't remember who was asking about supplements but I have written a resource, below, titled Malabsorption, and I listed all the vitamins and minerals I take and the name brands. Have a look. And here's a picture to just underscore it all.
I take I take 21 pills a day, scheduled at 4 different times-- 9 am, 1 p.m., 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. it's very important to take your medication and supplements properly. Do not take calcium with iron. Put them into separate hands full. You can't take thyroid hormone unless you are going to wait 30 minutes before you eat. So I take fish oil, thyroid, and iron at bedtime. You can't take 1500 mg of calcium all at once because your body can only absorb 500 milligrams at a time. So I take 3 doses of calcium a day. Sometimes I have to buy the big tablets and break them in half in order to get the correct dosage. But supplements are expensive, so don't waste your money trying to take more than is good for you. I just got my metabolic panel today and all my numbers are fabulous, as usual. And my cholesterol is 192. It was once 369. This is a problem for my family because we have a history of high cholesterol and triglycerides, and everybody and my family dies of heart disease or stroke, and all of my family develop Alzheimer's. So I'm going to do everything I can to stay as healthy as I can for as long as I can because that is a horrible way to die.
