Which Vitamin?
Hello Scarlet,
Boy, I saw those Vista vitamin ads, and MAN I want to try them! We are not in a great place financially right now, so DH & I talked about it and decided to see if what I am doing will be good enough first. Then we could make the leap if we wanted to. So I understand about finding something less expensive! Here is what I do, and my labs look GREAT. Just got my 9 month results and everything is normal and looking good. Here is what I take (and I am *anal* about taking my vitamins. I take them religiously):
Viactiv Multi-vitamin (~$8.00/60) - One in the evening & one in the morning
Viactive Calcium (~$8.00/60) - One in the evening & one in the morning
Triple B-12 (1000 mcg) ($16.30/90) sublingual one in the morning
Iron (amino acid chelated) 25mg ($10.04/120) - one in the morning
As soon as I get up in the morning I take my iron (~6:30). I take my B-12 after my shower (~7:00), and my first multi once I get to work in the morning (~8:00). My first calcium is after breakfast (which I eat at work) (~10:00). My second calcium I take on my way home from work (~4:30), and my second multi is before I go to bed in the evenings (~9:00). That way they are all nice and spread out and absorb better.
I hope that helps! Good luck!
