Vitamin Presentation -- need ideas

Barb has asked me to do a vitamin presentation at the next Raleigh get together.  I don't mind, but need to know what y'all want to see, have answered, etc.  I figured a Q&A for part of it, but what else?

 I won't be there, but here are some questions you have answered for me in the past (or ones that I still have):

~ what should be tested when labs are done;

~ which vitamins should be taken daily (and at what intervals) if premenopausal;

~ which vitamins should be taken daily (and at what intervals) if you've had a hysterectomy (or post menopausal)

~ symptoms of vitamin deficiency;

~ Is there really anything that can stop or help the hair loss?  Does it really come back again?

Good luck!

ETA:  Can you drink 25 grams of protein in one sitting?  Can the body use that much at  once?

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Laura's questions are the same as mine. I would like the same answers and also what vitamins might interact badly with what common meds if you can get that info.

((((((Andrea)))))),

Thank you soooo much for taking this on.

 

Probably an overview of the types/grades of vitamins. We all know your stand on gummies/flinstones ... But there other types of multivitamins. What are we looking for when looking a multivitamin, calicium, etc... re: sources of the vitamins, what matters? What doesn't?

It was so nice to see you today and it's great to have you back sweetie! You've been sorely missed.

How long of a presentation?

Between presentation and Q&A, I'd say 20 to 30 minutes. I imagine that you'll have quite a bit of Q&A, so I'd probably keep the presentation portion to 10 mins or so.

Let me know if you need any support.

Thanks again for agreeing to do this.

How about a handout with the ASMBS guidelines, lab work and results, and a vew tidbits about various things (take your iron with C, calcium best absorbed in 500mg doses, etc.), and perhaps a few vitamin labels to go through as a group?

For example, I saw NONI at Sams the other night, read the label, and proceded to burst out in laughter (yes, the hubby and inlaws were watching me in scared awe..) as the label was deliberately trying to look "good and important" but if you knew what it was saying, you'd never buy it due to the misleading advertising.

Sure ... Do you want to send me the info to put together? How many pages do you want it to be? We'll probably need 30 copies or so.

I'll know how long it is when I get it done ;-)

I can probably get the copies myself.. but I'll let you know if you can help.  Never know how things are going to go with the kiddos.
