lol  The dietitian likes Vitalady's plan but her hands are tied initially when the surgeon tells all his DSrs to take 12 Vita4Life + Vitalady's D3 and her vitamin A (palmitate). It's not until she gets a hold of them having trouble can she get them on Vitalady's plan. And, she has to worry about the surgery resident telling people in mid range on a lab to stop supplementing that particular item. The docs leave a lot to be desired concerning vitamin advice. 

Yep, I'm with AC - already to learn about vitamins.

Got some blood drawn today so hopefully I'll get some results next week.

It's driving her crazy she can't find more info about vitamin K2 -- MK7 versus MK4.  She tests osteocalcin, so she's watching her DSrs' K2 and bones that way. I take 4 of Vitalady's capsules a day and we can see slight changes in my osteocalcin, so we think that might be the magic dose for DSrs.

The advice now is four K-2 a day?  I think I am only getting 2.  Do they have to be spread out or can I do 2 in the am and 2 in the pm.  If they have to be spread out no big deal as I take calcium/magniesium and D all day long already.

Thanks,

Becky

Not advice yet, that's just what she and I are seeing on my labs. I take 2 in the AM and in the PM but you could spread them out if you want to.

Going to go to 2 in the am and 2 in the pm but not until next month.  I just did all my sorts for 4 weeks.  I will make a note for next time and also about taking zinc and copper seperate.

THANKS

I ate breakfast today.  My daughter and I went to a great place and I ordered 3 eggs scrambled with cheese, bacon and sausage.  When it came I didn't think I could eat a bite.  I was going to ask for a to go box.  My daughter would have none of that so I ate it.  Baby step #1.

Go Becky - you can get there and good for your daughter!! ;-)   You just gotta work at it, treating protein the same way you diligently do with your calcium.
