Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 A few months ago my pharmacy told me that the ADEK vitamins I take currently are going to be obsolete and will be replaced with something else. These ADEK vitamins were the only vitamin formula that had the fat soluable vitamins in one tablet. I still have a few bottles left since I stocked up on them…. The replacement is now announced. It appears that it is for Cystic Fibrosis patients and has a dosage that is a lot higher than the current one. I attached the insert. Can some of you please comment on the amounts of ADEK vitamins you take? If I remember well too much vitamin A can be toxic. The amount of vitamin A is triple the amount I took before. I can compensate that by taking one tablet instead of two a day, but then I will be getting less of the other vitamins.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Agreed. I was just posting this as a starting point. When I was Vitamin A defecent, I was takeing 3000 units twice daily until I came bace into the normal range. I have been able to remain in the normal range for the last year by taking a higher quality prenatal vitamin.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I have found a new vitamin that is actually made for people who have IBD, I decided to try it because it is made specifically to be absorbed in people that have problems with absorption of ADEK, plus it has high levels of the B vitamins that we have problems with. here is a link to it-it can be ordered online--- http://www.forvia.com/cgi-bin/forvia2.storefront I have been on it for about a month so far Beth B Thornton,CO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
