Re: how much E and C do you take?

Hi Matt,

How much E & C do you take?

Thanks,

Geri

Hi Geri, I take 3000 mg of C, time release twice a day. With breakfast and

dinner. I also take 400 IU of Vit E twice a day, at the same time I take the Vit

C. The Vit E also has helped by RLS in my calf muscles. I used to get muscle

spasms really bad in my legs and sometimes all over my body. This has improved

greatly with the Vit E.

I have been taking " C " , but it is in a multi-supplement with some " B " ,

Folic Acid, Calcium, Magnesium, Silica,Magnolia and Green Tea. The " C " is only

180 mg. But that is 264% of my daily value. It has been just about a year since

I started this. Taking 2 in the morning with 500 ml of water. After I eat a

banana, I take 1000 IU of " E " . Then another 500 ml of water. The water is

silica and magnesium enriched also. Have taken the " E " for about 10 years now.

Great energy here. Enough for extra workouts, have also noticed I can do more at

workouts; have built good stamnia and improved muscle tone.

(PS since I have a type 2 CMT, I'm not so concerned about taking

more " C " to benefit CMT, but the combo of all and the exercise has proven so

beneficial)

Geri,

That is another great side effect. Energy. I have way more energy when I take

the C and E combo. Every now and again I go off it due to forgetfullness, and

man I notice it really fast in my enery levels, then I start getting the pain

and then I go back on. It's a nice reminder that it does make a difference.

Gretchen,

Is there a reason behind your order of 2 multi ... banana ... Vitamin E?

Sorry if this is a silly question, but it caught my attention.

[Guest guest]

Yes, there is, Auggie. The multi needs to be taken on an empty

stomach, with water. The E, for the best effects, needs to be taken

with food (or right after) so I eat a banana before I take it.

Gretchen,

Okay, bear with me here ....

When you take your multi on an empty stomach, don't you get an upset

stomach/nausea?

Also, do you eat the banana/Vitamin E immediately after taking the multi, or how

long do you wait?

[Guest guest]

Yep, Auggie,

I take the multi on an empty stomach and chase it with alot of water.

Have never had a nausea problem, perhaps because the water fills up my

stomach and helps the vitamins to transport.

And yes, right after that, I eat the banana, and right after that I

take my Vitamin E followed by the water.

I do all this leisurely, not fast, or " chugging it " all, lol maybe this is about

a 10 minute time period.
