What supplements does everyone take if at all?
« on: August 19, 2010, 07:53:56 PM »
In the book, Doug says that he takes a B vitamin but I'm just wondering if anyone else takes supplements and if they have found them useful.

For instance I saw Chromium at the low carb grocery store and was told that they help to balance out blood sugar levels. I figured I didn't need  them if I am eating low carb and eliminating sugar but given that my cravings are out of whack again I'm wondering if it couldn't help.

I'm taking quite a few, hoping to reverse some borderline problems that my diabetes has created while I'm working on getting rid of the diabetes. I take:
multi vitamin
calcium plus D
krill oil
cinnamon
probiotic (PB 8)
CoQ10
liquid coconut oil (1 Tbs several times a day)
plus I have to take glucophage (at least until I see the doctor in January and prove I don't need it!)

Between the lifestyle AND the supplements, I couldn't take a nap if I tried. I used to take one every chance I got. I would sleep in my car waiting for my kids at their sports practice. I would sleep in the evenings before going to bed at night. I'd close my eyes at every red light. It was really bad. I should have known that I had a diabetes issue, but I was clueless.

Taking Nature Made Multi for Women Over 50, Os-Cal with D and MSM.  I started having bad feet, ankle and calf cramps at night after beginning FTS and I googled it and found out low calcium can cause that.  I was eating a lot of yogurt and cottage cheese before so that made sense to me.  It seems to be better now.

GNC at first.
Then, I ordered MCT oil (a version of coconut oil) from www.swansonvitamins.com with a bunch of other supplements. This shipment is due to arrive today.
