Vitamin Supplements

Hi, My name is Marie and I've been reading this board for a few years now, however, I've never posted. I had my surgery in Sept. 2004 and have done well with the weight loss. Could some one please share the type of vitamin that they take? I've been taking a vitamin/calcium supplement from Arbonne but they have since stopped making the product I am told. I need to find a replacement but I want a good quantity vitamin that will do well too. Any suggestions made would sure be of help. There is a volume of good information on this board. Thanks to all of you for sharing.

Hi Marie, I'm on the boards here but I am also an Arbonne consultant; do you mind if I ask which vitamins you were taking? I'd be happy to see if anyone I know still has some available in their inventory? Congrats on your weight loss :>) Donna

Hi Donna, Thanks for responding to my post. I'm taking Women 1 Complete Essentials; multivitamin & minerals with ginseng along with the calcium plus that is packaged with. Knowing that I was soon going to have to switch to something else I tried an over the counter vitamin and within just a couple of weeks I could really feel a difference. I thought perhaps low B12 levels but I've had blood work updated and my levels are fine. I'm now thinking that it's the change in the vitamin. I appreciate your checking into this for me. Thanks!

No problem Marie, I will check and get back with you on Monday. I have also had a very difficult time when I've switched vitamins, some have really made me feel ill :>( I hope I can find you at least a little more of supply! Donna

I take woman's one a day vitamin

Thanks Shannon. I appreciate your responsing.

Hi Marie, Welcome to the Michigan board. I get my vitamins from a wls dr. in Florida. He developed these vitamins and he sells them through his office. I use the multi vit. As wls patients we don't absorb regular over the counter vitamin very well, so this dr. designed these for the wls patient. I have been using them for a yr or so and ever since I started using them my levels have been normal. They are very inexpensive. I pay 16.00 a bottle. the website is www.wlsvitamins.com . Hope this helps.---Toni

Thanks Toni. I'll check them out. I now have a place to start! I sure appreciate the assistance with this.

Hi Marie I take ESSENTIAL LIFE vitamins by Country Life 180 tablets for $33.29, they are chelated mineral. I order them from Nutri Foods in Royal Oak 248/541-6820 and $4.75 for shipping no matter how many items you buy. If you buy them at the store, you get a 20 % discount. I buy Meijer brand Calcium Citrate with vitamin D. When I went in for my blood work every thing was great.

Thanks Kathy. I now have another place to begin checking. I'm surprised how much the vitamins can effect how a person actually feels. I appreciate your assistance.
