How many of y'all DSERS use Vitalady? Is this the best way to go?
Ty for any info!

I think I would also only take 1 capsule of the vitamin A 3 days a wee****il after your surgery.

1) She carries the amounts we need
2) As a small business owner, she needs our support. Without small business, we would be stuck with someone who doesn't have our best interest in mind.
3) She and Don spend time helping out others with their dosing.
4) She spends time each year going to the ASBMS trying to get surgeons to see the light!
And besides, if the order is large enough, she will ship for free.

Pro Health
Extreme Dry D 50,000 IU
Lucky Vitamin
Dry A 25,000 IU
Dry E 400 IU (I adjust the dosage for the right amount)
Dry K1 100 mcg (I take 7-8) looking for a higher mcg per tablet, but this works for now.
Dry K2 5,000 mcg ( I take 2)
Lifetime liquid Cal-Mag with D (blueberry and Pina Colada are my favorites) I have a tough time with calcium, and have out of the gate, so I take both dry and liquid.
I also order other singles, like chelated Zinc (be sure it's chelated - otherwise you're wasting money), iron, B1, C and B Complex
I also use a local store, Harmony Market, on the fly if I run out of something before ordering time. It's more expensive, but they carry most of what I would need in a pinch in-store.
I use Walmart for multis and calcium citrate.
I pay for Pro Health shipping, but Lucky Vitamin is usually free for me. It depends on how much you order.
I *always* adjust according to labs, even if that means adding something I've never had to take separately before.
I think her starting plans are excellent and have never really seen anyone who started on her plan and then tweaked based on the labs she recommends you get have any problems that couldn't be identified and addressed (such as some folks just can't absorb iron no matter what). I've seen tons of people who follow other plans with labs in the toilet.
