Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 For those of you who use vita4life, I have a question. I want to be very clear, when taking vita4life, you don't take ADEKs, multivitamins, calcium or iron? Vita4life provides all the vitamin and mineral supplements? I would like to hear about the vitamin regimen from someone taking vita4life, I'd like to simplify my ordering and purchasing of " pills " !! Thanks LennyB -82 since Apr2, BPD/DS with Dr Gagner __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Dr. B. mentioned them....can you tell me where you get them and how often you take them...I'd love to get it down to one pill. Right now I do two multi vitamins, 5 tum-ex and I need to order ADEK, although my dr is worried because you can OD on Aand D....

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 AJ..... www.vita4life.com There are 12 capsules in a daily packet but I take 8 and save the 4 then only have to open a packet every other day. Many taking 12 were told to cut down so Im doing 8 and if labs are ok will stick with that. It beats having to buy all the different ones we need and the cost is comparable for such a good product. Im really happy with them! Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 How do you know how many to take..? curious... Liane>>>>> Its on the can.....plus you can talk to the man who owns the company if you have any questions..... it recommends distal patients take 12 but some DSers are finding out 12 is too many so I just cut down to 8..in fact, the fella recommended I do that! If labs show I need more all I have to do is up them. Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Judie, So the ADEK in Vita4life are water soluable? I'm really interested in this, do you have a link for them?

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Meli.......oops....forgot to mention the cost...its says on the site but I buy 4 cans at a time.....I think it actually comes out to 40-45 a month or thereabouts which is what I was spending on all the extra bottles of everything else! But remember Im buying for two! Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 Ferrous Fumarate (the iron in vita4life)and Calcium citrate do not bind.. it is really the ferrous sulfate form of iron that binds with so many things. The formulation in Vita4Life's multi is OK to take without worry of interaction between iron & other minerals. Just an FYI.. Liane > What about iron?
