browser57 Member Registered: 06/07/05 Posts: 242 Loc: Michigan	I have to confess - I take a ton of supplements. Right now, I'm rethinking what I should/should not be taking. It's time to replenish most of them - and I'm wondering if anyone else is as gullible as I am. Since I have a deep fear of alzheimer's - long family history - I make it my job to read as much about prevention as I can and take a few specifics for brain health. But, I'm not sure about the other handfull of stuff I'm downing daily. I'd be interested to hear what other Boomers are doing.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Me too, I have taken many supplements faithfully for more years than I can count and I attribute my youthful appearance to genes and to those supplements. I am sure they helped me breeze through menopause with no discomfort what-so-ever. Now if they would just put exercise in a capsule, I'd be home free....

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	I swear by the vitamins and supplements I take every day. I'm healthier because of them. Like you, I research what I want to "protect" and take those. I don't scattershot with a ton of vitamins and supplements hoping I hit the right combination. _________________________ Vicki "What you believe yourself to be, you are." Claude M.

dejavu journeyman Registered: 08/16/06 Posts: 319	I have been considering Biotin, but don't know how many mg I should take. I also take calcium and soy supplements, St. John's Wort, a goo multivitamin, fish oil (and just had a great cholesterol count) and potassium. _________________________ My website http://www.carolynagosta.com

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	I take vitamin E daily. If I do alot of sports I take calcium and magnesium. I once read if you take too many vitamins, the body can't work them, and they just sort of go through you without doing anything.

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	dejavu, I'd start out on the low side with Biotin and see how your body reacts. It takes up to 6 weeks or so, before you start seeing results for the first time. Usually 1 mg is a good start. That's 1000 mcg on the label. I'm taking 5 mg of Biotin now. I also take Lysine to help my immune system. I get a lot of cold sores, but while taking Lysine I get maybe 1 a year. And it heals super fast. _________________________ Vicki "What you believe yourself to be, you are." Claude M. Bristol Your Writing Coach Writing Coach Blog

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Thanks for the reminder. I haven't been taking my vitamins and I'm not sure why. Just lazy, I guess. Where does everyone buy their vitamins and supplements? _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com
