Post Date: 7/5/10 3:25 pm I take: multi #1 at 6AM and biotin multi #2 at 11AM and iron multi #3 at 2PM and iron calcium #1 at 5PM calcium #2 at 8PM calcium #3 at 10:30PM (as I go to bed).. Someone told me that we absorb calcium better at the end of the day...dunno if that is true or not... Please share with me your vitamin schedule. Maybe I can learn a thing or two and tweak my own. Feel free to criticize mine and point out the error of my ways...I'm not beyond becoming better at this! Thanks!

by Enzymatic TherapyEnergizing Iron90 Softgels Our Price: $12.29 Retail: $20.95 41% OFF Label Information FeaturesIngredientsDirectionsHighly absorbable heme iron supports healthy energy levels*Iron helps produce energy and reduce fatigue. Two forms of dietary iron exist: heme and non-heme. Energizing Iron contains heme iron. Heme iron is found in lean red meat, dark poultry, shrimp and tuna, making Energizing Iron a good choice for vegetarians who might not get enough iron. Non-heme iron is found in fruits, vegetables, grains and eggs. Clinical research has shown that the human body more readily absorbs heme iron up to 33% more than non-heme iron.*They have a store in LA (a little drive from me) called Lindbergh's Nutrition. They sell it. And it appears they sell it online too. (if anyone knows if I should NOT take these...let me know)

Post Date: 7/5/10 3:50 pm It's questionable as to whether this is a good iron in my mind. Someone on the RNY board brought it up and I looked into it. While it's got heme capability via liver, it does also contain a regular iron supplement. The iron used is one that is typically used as an iron forticant in food, but doesn't have a spectacular track record on it's own in terms of supplemental use. Additionally, these are packed in oil.. I simply wonder how much you are malabsorbing due to that oil as we malabsorb fats -- especially right at the outset. So my cautionary tale is to watch your labs very carefully. I hope it works for you. Come see me in Cinci! - Save $25 on your Tickets  |

Post Date: 7/5/10 3:53 pm Where's B12? You need B12. Take it with your biotin. Also, why 3 multis? Taking Proferrin makes my life MUCH easier. first thing: 25,000 IU vitamin A, 20,000 IU vitamin D3, 200mcg vitamin K1, 1000mcg b12 3 hours later or so: 500mg calcium, 1/2 of a centrum (just cause I dose 4x a day.. ), 1 Proferrin iron 2-3 hrs later: same 2-3 hrs later: same 2-3 hrs later: same Come see me in Cinci! - Save $25 on your Tickets |

Post Date: 7/5/10 4:09 pm Nope. Calcium is Citracal or knockoffs. Vitamins A, D, K are all from Vitalady. The B12 is one I get from Target. I think I bought NatureMade this time. The multis are regular Centrums, or the knockoffs. Proferrin is the heme iron. Come see me in Cinci! - Save $25 on your Tickets |

Post Date: 7/5/10 8:15 pm I use cyanocobalamin. Most of us don't NEED methylcobalamin. It's kinda like Proferrin... it absorbs better in everyone, but most people do fine with carbonyl iron. Come see me in Cinci! - Save $25 on your Tickets |

Post Date: 7/5/10 4:01 pm aah, yes...I forgot to mention. B12, I get a monthly shot in the bum from either my doctor or an old WL clinic I used to go to...whomever is cheaper and scheduled... I take the 3 multis because I use the Centrum Chewables, and I figured I would at least not be deficient if I took one extra a day. I will look into proferrin as well.

Post Date: 7/5/10 8:12 pm Don't take 3 until you get a feel for what 2 is doing in your labs. 2 should be enough...I take the Centrum Silver Chewables..taste a million times better than the orange ones. I am glad you are good and home from the hospital. |

Post Date: 7/5/10 4:01 pm I am having my surgery at the end of the month - and I have gotten the items recommended by my Drs. office which are: Centrum adult chewable - how many do I take a day? 1? 2? Wellesse Liquid Calcium Citrate B complex sublingual I have been taking Vitron C - can I crush those? I have been taking 10,000 Vitamin D liquid gel once a week- do I still need that? What is Biotin? Andrea I have seen your webpage - very inspiring. Do you have a list of what our blood tests should look like? And a list of what we need to take daily?
