It's not really going to be a static cost because you are constantly changing your vites based on your labs....the cost shouldn't increase by a huge amount, though (I wouldn't think).

I get all of mine from vitalady except for my multi and my b complex.  (I get those from walmart.)  I use vitalady because I know I'm getting the right types of the vites in the right forms and I can get the high doses from her.

I would say I spend about $60 a month?  I order 3 to 6 months at a time.

I'm early out and for the most part follow VitaLady's recommendations, but I do get a few things elsewhere.  I spend on average $56 a month for a 6 month supply of supplments.  That may change of course depending upon my labs.  

For me the expense kind of balances out because with my weight loss already I am not getting as many migraines and one of my former medications that I took as needed was almost $10 a pill with insurance.  I have only had 3 migraines post-op and I used to get at least 3 a week.  My blood pressure has dropped remarkably too.  It used to run a little on the high side  (140/90 to 160/100) but now it tends to be around 110/60.

EDIT!  I now spend about $70 a month because I had another surgery and need to take a higher does of D3 and calcium citrate.
