Re: Multi-vitamins and vitamin D- Thanks All

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your post (and links) and others' feedback on my question. I got the

vitamin D warning information from this site-

http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1173484-overview, down at the bottom,

under miscellaneous, special concerns. I'm delighted to know this shouldn't be

an issue for me.

Thanks again

Dave

> That's not true. A multi-Vitamin has 'balanced' amounts in it. If your doctor

recommends a multi-Vitamin, ask which one he/she suggests. (you can make a list

of all of them by going to your pharmacy and perusing the Vitamin section). Then

ask your doc which one is best.

(meaning more than suggested). An exception to this would be if your doctor

found you were deficient in a certain Vitamin and part of your therapy would be

a prescribed larger dose for awhile.
