[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2216084, member: 41816"] glad your doc is supportive . That is great. regarding supplements... this is just my opinion, but I think generic multi vits are a waste of money. Vitamins and minerals come in a lot of different forms (there are something like 9 different forms of magnesium! Each one more or less absorbable than the others). multivit manufacturers (quite understandably) want a cheap easy option to pack into their tablets. That doesn’t mean it is the best version for you, with the most bioabsorbability. other examples are Vit D (Vit D3 is much better than vitD2) and Vit K, which comes in several diff forms. If you want to help bone strength then you need K2 not K1 (which affects blood clotting and should not be take in excess). I suggest you have a good google rummage for recommended vits and mins for bone density, including dose size. The last time I heard a doctor discuss Vit K, he didn’t know what it did, and he had no idea that there were different forms of it. So you will probably be on your own for the research. :) you can try searching the forum for threads on Vit D3 and K2, magnesium and potassium. You may find useful links on the threads. [/QUOTE]
