Question:
This is in response to Linda819

I tried to respond to her question, but kept getting an error message. In any case, as to the expense of protein drinks and vitamins, I order Unjury and Vemma on line and save my receipts as deductibles on my income taxes. It really helps! Mary    — mkblan (posted on April 19, 2010)

This message is for Mary. I'm curious about writing off protein drinks. Is it considered a medical expense? Tell me more please! Lord knows I've been paying a fortune for this stuff. I wonder if I can use it on my cafe plan (unreimbursed medical plan). They wouldn't approve my vitamins without a written notice from my dr saying that they were required. Thanks much! Kristin

I am also very interested in writting off these expenses. Also, has anyone heard of them qualifing for your FSA reimbursement?

I know that's right! I tried ordering it using my VISA card from my HSA and the website would not accept it. I will try to call it next time. Unjury is a Godsend! It is definitely much milder than what is over the counter.
