    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~ JudyAnne

Vitamin regimen
on April 5, 2011 9:30 am
I just had my 4 year serology and all of my nutrient levels were very good.   In fact my blood work is that of a much younger healthy woman according to my doctor if one looks at inflammatory protein markers etc.     Several people requested my supplementation plan so I thought I'd just put it here.

B12 - 5000 mcg sublinqual
Calium Citrate + Vit D3  - 1000 mgs/800 IU
Calcium Gummies (tricalcium Phosphate) - 1000 Mgs, 500 mgs, 125 mgs phosphate)
Super C - 1000 mgs
Vit E - dry form - 400 iu
Valerian - 125 mgs
Biotin - 5 mg
Calcium/Mag/Zinc combo - 1000mg/400/115 - this is a carbonate form - take it for the bound magnesium and zinc
CoQ10 - 100 mgs
Alpha Lipoic Acid - 100 mgs
Michael Murray - Woman's Multistart plus (perimmenopausal)
Estronsense (phytoestrogens)
Evening Primrose OIl - 500 mgs
Vit D3 - dry form - 1000 iu
Glucosamine/Condroitin - 500/400 mgs
Complete Omega 3 complex

The alpha lipoic and evening primrose oil are believed to be beneficial for peripheral neuropathy - which I had preop - diabetes - and can develop postop due to depletion of fat soluable vitamins
I take Vit D in several forms because I always had trouble carrying adequate levels.....this seems to be working.
I also take calcium in several forms for the same reason and my numbers are holding well.
