Dear Meg,
I don't have much help for you, but I had to post back to say I am EXACTLY the same way with vitamins! I have all the same questions! I have tried whole food varieties, liquid vitamins, chiropractor-sold vitamins, vitamins from distributors, etc. etc. I've tried them separately and together. They always seem to mess me up more, and it is frustrating because I know vitamins are so important!The one thing I think I have figured out is that I do better taking vitamins separately (e.g., different tablets for Vit C, B, Calcium, etc.). That way I can start out with one at a time, give it a trial and see how it affects me. I have noticed that the B vitamins make me very irritable. The best luck I've had is with a vitamin distributor called Shaklee, and I just used Vitamin C, E, Zinc, Calcium, and B Complex (however I didn't stay on the B complex for long).
I stopped when I ran out of the product, and the distributor I used from the Internet was no longer in busienss. There are some local distributors where I live, but the cost is also a problem when it comes to taking them all separately.
Thanks for your post -- you are definitely not alone! I am so sensitive to everything out there, but you'd think I could handle a simple vitamin!
I look forward to hearing if you get any other feedback.
Take care,
cindy> Okay I feel like I should be able to figure this out but with the added complication of a mood disorder I am so overwhelmed with all the multi-vitamin choices and then what to take with them (like extra calcium, what kind of calcium etc.) in the right ratios, and what will help or hurt my mood...bla bla bla. It's just too complex for me and I did search through the archives and read all kinds of stuff on the net but couldn't find much help. Most have extra stuff in their formulas and I don't know what might aggravate my mood/condition (which more and more seems like PCOS or something hormone-related). So I thought some of the people here with a better understanding of vitamins and how they work together and all that might already know of a good mutli and be so kind as to help me out? Is liquid better than pill? One multi that looks good to me is from NSI (Synergy basic 2 or something). I have been taking one from Rainbow Light but I think something in it is making me a little wonky because I feel better when i don't take it. Also, do I need 16,000-83,000 % daily value of B-12?? Or C? Or 200% A? Is it so bad to take a little bit of Iron (I don't eat much meat at all)? Is Silica as benign as they say? Sorry for so many questions, but I will be so grateful for any help with this.
