Hi, what does your vitamin regime look like? I take chewable multis daily if I can remember or every other day. I take chewable b 12 and iron every other day or two. Last time I did bloodwork my labs were fine( around month five) but I do need to do a one year. I'm a vsg'er btw. How much more would I need to take if I did a revision to the DS? Thanks.

I follow Vitalady's plan and tweak things as my labs come in.  www.vitalady.com

That's about right.However, I've been able to stop the B-Complex, vitamin A, 1/2 dose on the iron, b12 and folic acid only 4 days a week, and b1 3 days a week.

Your labs are good with that combo.

That is a pitifully small amount of supps.  Where is your K, E, Zinc, B12?  Only 4 calcium a day?  I hope you have a baseline Dexa scan cause you are gonna lose bone quick on that.  How far out are you?  When were your last labs?  Are you getting ALL labs done?  Complete labs would have them drawing around 15 vials of blood.

i would get a complete lab done. talk over the results with your doctor and get on the vitamin regimen that your body needs. we all are different and take different things and different doses. good luck!!
