Vitamins

[thehalls07]

Hi Guys,
I know that this question has probably been asked on here before but with a lack of time i dont have the chance to brouse. What vitamins can we use ????. I started using the vitamins that you purchase from the cohens clinic, but i just cant afford to be paying the $80plus a month for the vitamins. I asked my cohens clinic rep and she said that you cant use any off the shelf that none of these are any good, and dont work like the ones that cohens recommend.

Hi

I found the following posted by Soon2Bhotkittie (?)

The vitamins i take are :

BLACKMORES -Sustained release Multi-vitamins and minerals

BLACKMORES FOR WOMEN -Total calcium

NATURES OWN - Zinc + B6 Magnesium

these were all recommended by my consultant

Hope this helps.

This forum is pretty easy to search so if you just type in vitamins and click search you will find a number of people who have had the same questions and answers. Also, there are many more suggestions on the vitamins so it's worth doing the search before you buy.

Hi everyone,

I know there is a list of recommended vitamins but I was wondering are we restricted to these only? The reason I ask is I take a calcium and ascorbic acid tablet every night which always helps me sleep better as calcium is a natural muscle relaxant.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Is the ascorbic acid for the vitamin C? I think the multivitamins would have vitamin C in them so you might be able to skip that. But I don't see anything wrong in continuing with the calcium tablet even if you have it in the multivitamins. I remember my consultant mentioning the calcium tablets.

Always good for queries like this to send a quick email to your clinic with brand name of product. They can very quickly check and then you have the correct info. There are so many variables and people on here are not really informed enough to know all the details.

Better to go to the source.

The main thing is to look on the ingredients list.. no sugar, flour (no oses of any kind (as in fructose) or thickeners etc).. & make sure the B6 isn't too high, if it is it 'can' make you feel hungry.

Hi I have just restarted my program and was wondering if anyone could tell me of a good vitamin to take.

[lil_doll]

I take the Blackmores sustained release multi V... no problems whatsoever and Cohens approved

P.S- mmmm tim tams! (I just mentioned them in another thread! haah)

Good luck!

I take the Blackmores too but only half a day.

[Doing it for ME]

I take the natures own brand as it also has magneisium (sorry can't spell) as i was hoping to avoid leg cramps and worked a treat. Cohen friendly also

I've found Blackmores "normal" multi-vit in Singapore, but not the sustained release - is that one OK to take?

[sangi]

I take the Oceans's women's supplement. the B6 is less than 2mg and there is chromium.i also take vit c acid free tablets and Imedeen.

There has been some debate recently about which vitamins are and are not ok, with different clinics giving different information.

My clinic says Centrum is definitely not ok. Another says it is fine.

Can anyone clarify?

[belinda]

i was informed that blackmores sustained release multi vitamins were ok...i also purchased the clinics own multi vitamins although i have put them into a weekly pill taking box and the white ones seem to expand and go funny the longer they are int eh box for....don't know why...

[thenewvee]

We've noticed some discrepancies between clinics. It would probably be best to follow what YOUR clinic advises.

Belinda, your tablets are probably not in an air tight container and they go that funny way from absorbing moisture out of the air. That is one of the reasons the pill bottles have those little things in them, to absorb moisture.

thanks vee, will leave them in the container from now on.....was a little rough to swallow today..

Which vitamins are allowed under the program. Are probiotics or Fish oil allowed?

Is there a specific Multivitamin that I should be taking?
