Re: [OSSG-vitamins-minerals] Question

Yes, sorry about that...3/10's of a point. Which is horrible. I had gotten

it UP to 6.2 which according to my lab is still low.....6.3-8.5 is considered

in the okay range. Now, I'm at 5.9. Albumin isn't wonderful..but okay at

4.0. I'm taking 2 multis. Thanks...I'll check that website. I get their

catalog from time to time...but don't have one handy right now. The multi

I'm taking right now is a Centrum clone..and only has 25% of the A as beta

carotene. I'm not toxic at least, as I once was on the V4L.

Hi Jacque,

I'm not sure about the vitamin A, however, the hemaglobin " steals " from the

ferritin (your warehouse for iron storage) as it was explained to me from the

hematologist, thus, to keep that level higher, it's using the storage. I

wouldn't stop taking or decrease taking your iron at all, if anything, I might

think about INCREASING it so the hemaglobin doesn't have to steal from the

ferritin.

The vitamin A in the MultiWellness multivitamin sold by Bariatric

Supplement Systems is 100% beta carotene. WalGreen also sells a vitamin

A supplement that is 100% beta carotene, but that is a separate

supplement by itself and not part of a multivitamin. With the exception

of BSS, all the bariatric supplement providers use a combination of

palmitate and beta carotene for vitamin A supplementation.
