I have read 2 of your books and just love all the up to date information. I am trying to decide what supplements to take for the new year. Do you have any recommendations for a multi vitamin or supplement? When I went to the store to look at the multi vitamins offered they fell short of what you recommend. Do you think it is better to just take individual supplements? Any help or suggestions that you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, a reader in Waco, Texas
Centrum or NatureMade’s Essential Balance for menstruating women
is fine. Then supplement that with a calcium/magnesium with about 500mg
calcium and about 250mg of magnesium. Or, if you are postmenopausal then
Centrum Silver or Mature Balance along with the cal/mag. I used to like
NutriGuard’s Broad Spectrum w/iron for menstruating women and w/o iron for
postmenopausal women, but I’ve not checked it lately to see if it is still
as good as it used to be. Also, Metabolic Maintenance has a multi called
Basic Maintenance that is pretty good, but doesn’t have iron and you still
need to supplement with cal/mag. Whatever supplement you choose, make sure
to also get a supplement of the omega-3 fat DHA. You need at least 220mg of
that daily. Hope that helps.
