DSers - question about vitamin schedules
your supplement schedule will shift over the years many times. What works for ages will, sometimes, cease working.
Once a K deficiency exacerbated a iron deficiency and resulted in a huge case of anemia, and Iron Sucrose I.V treatments quarterly for years.
Eventually I went back to processing iron sufficiently to go back to oral supplements.
Another time a string of illnesses, flu, bronchitis, and a uti resulted in a zinc deficiency that took a year to recover from completely.
Currently I am on this;
| Centrum Silver BID | am/pm |
| Selenium 200 mcg | am |
| Calcium Citrate 250mg D3 20mcg BID | am/pm |
| Klor-Con/Potassium 10 meq ED/750mg BID | am/pm |
| Zinc Picolinate 50mg | am |
|
Calcium Citrate Chews 250mg whenever I think of it (with a 2 hour window before and after) because it turns out I personally can not O.D. on calcium. |
24/7 |
| L-Lysine 500mg | |
| L Carnitine 500mg | |
| Collagen1200mg/hyaluronic acid300mg/Biotin3000 | am |
| Vitamin A 25000 iu | am |
| VIT D2 50,000 iu Ergo/Teva BID | am/pm |
| Vit E 400iu | am |
| Vitamin K 100mcg | am |
| Multigen (Iron) | noon |
| Vitamin C 1000mg | noon |

Thank you for sharing, and for your feedback. It sounds like you've had quite the journey over the past 20+ years with the DS. It's a good reminder to stay current on bloodwork. You can't address what you don't know about!
It's good to see your list for reference. You've got a pretty robust regimen and I appreciate hearing your story a bit as someone who is experienced in adapting to the changes from surgery. I'm taking notes!

I would kill the ADEKs.....as time goes on you will see where you will be deficient....and it will most likely be D and K out of the ADEKs....the % in those are typically off balance. keep your eyes out on your lab work....and trend it to catch if you are trending down before you end up in the toilet.
If you have a specific question for me, PM me or I will not see it, as I don't check responses on the forums and don't have anything forwarded to my email.
meaning supplement ADEK as individual pills...not as a multi.....your common channel is longer than "average" and you are a sadi...things may be different....follow lab work
