Re: supplements vs....other supplements ?

[Guest guest]

STOP STOP STOP

I'm sorry about the capital letters but I really really really don't want to be

interpreted

as requiring anyone to buy anything, particularly not from a particular seller.

There

are other discount quality vitamin suppliers on the web that people really like.

Swanson's Vitamins is a very good company, for example. iHerb.com is a lot of

people's favorite. There are others that people are happy with and loyal to.

I'm not

getting any money from Vitacost and PLEASE do not take that list as any kind of

requirement.

I hoped I made it very clear, but I guess I didn't, that the list of supplements

was

SOLELY AS AN EXAMPLE of what is possible. It is not a requirement. AT ALL.

Other moderators might make different choices. I don't even actually take

magnesium glycinate because I'm super sensitive to oral magnesium and I use

epsom salt baths (magnesium sulfate) and magnesium " oil " (magnesium chloride)

externally. I'm currently still finishing up what I already had of my previous

form of

selenium before I switch to the methyl form.

Again, please, don't even go where you're going! You are not required in any

way

shape or form to shop at Vitacost nor to buy the exact same products I listed.

The

list is ONLY ONLY ONLY to show people how it is possible to have a very low cost

(over time) for the iodine protocol (compared to other nutritional supplement

programs), and to suggest some specific products JUST AS EXAMPLES of what

choices MIGHT BE MADE. NOTHING MANDATORY. If one buys from a single

seller on the web, one's shipping costs are lower, that is why I chose one

seller and

products available. I was trying to show how low one's costs could be and what

a

range of choices might look like, even if one were choosing the latest, fanciest

forms of supplements (ester C, methyl selenium).

You need at least 200mcg of selenium with the iodine protocol That's the

minimum, as stated in the Guide. You need at least 400mg of magnesium, in

whatever form works best for you. You need at least 2,000mg of Vit C, in

whatever

form works for you.

The ester form of C has been shown to stay in circulation in the body up to 24

hours. Unlike regular forms, which are urinated back out within 2-3 hours. That

is

why I like the ester form. MANY PEOPLE ARE USING MANY OTHER FORMS.

IT'S YOUR CHOICE.

Hope I have made myself clear now?

wishing you the best,

Hi and thanks.

Yes, thanks - that is what I meant exactly.

I did not see your helpful SUGGESTIONS as requiring a buy of anything in

particular from any ONE source.

I -did- appreciate the chance to spend less money -IF- it was decided to get

these things from Vitacost.

This query remains:

If there is any way to tell if one is getting enough magnesium ?

Thanks again, I missed this somehow:

> You need at least 200mcg of selenium with the iodine protocol

And this is a fine answer too, thanks:

> The ester form of C has been shown to stay in circulation in the body up to 24

I did not misunderstand your intentions - I was merely trying to get

clear on MORE general knowledge regarding the types, uses & amounts of the

various things.

Price shopping for the best deal & avoiding shipping charges is THE way to go in

my opinion and your list pointed me there quickly so I did not have to search

out each thing and it's permutations.

Great work - My Thanks !
