Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / March 2005Non-Pill Vitamin Supplements?
I am a rookie to this but... I am in need of various vitamin supplements (including iron) but can't stand taking pills. Is there anything I can mix with food or eat as a candy bar type or anything like that. -- Thanks in advance... Bob >I am a rookie to this but...

It is called eating a good diet. With a good diet, you don't need vitamins. Jeff > -- > > Thanks in advance... Bob Mr. Sarcastic, you do if a medical condition leaves your body unable to process many vitamins in the normal manner. Bob > >I am a rookie to this but...

Mr. Newman didn't state what brings him to conclude that he needs more vitamins. Jeff > Bob > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> > >> > Thanks in advance... Bob > >I am a rookie to this but...

"Jeff" <kidsdoc2000@hotmail.com> replied: > Yeah. It is called eating a good diet. With a good diet, you don't need > vitamins. Who determines what is a good diet? A raw food diet? Science technology now allows one to have a good diet plus take vitamins/minerals in a "food form" format which is accepted by the body as food. Examples of "food form" vitamins supplements are MegaFood (Alpha) and Standard Process brands. Taking the MegaFood (Alpha) vitamins improved my eyesight. Some of the protein powders add some vitamins and minerals. For example: http://www.advantagesupplements.com/bnatbeslowca.html I have no commercial connection with the product or the websites selling it. I think this particular product is the ideal diet powder, but the product even says on the canister that it is not for dieting. I have consumed a lot of this stuff with no ill effect. > I am a rookie to this but... I am in need of various vitamin supplements > (including iron) but can't stand taking pills.

Bob I take one of these every morning: http://www.alacer.com/cgi-bin/dbsearch.exe?mdb=/products.mdb,tbl=products,DB_cod e=40,DBCOMP=ABS,template=/products/returntitle.htm If link does not work go to http://www.alacer.com click on "products" and then "emergen c". Sorry, no iron though. Ren? > I am a rookie to this but... I am in need of various vitamin supplements > (including iron) but can't stand taking pills.

What medical conditions do you have? What gender? Goals? LEF makes a vitamin powder. It is pretty well designed. I'd avoid the vitamin liquids as they have serious stability issue once opened. > Why do you need iron? I have had gastric bypass surgery so a lot of the vitamins are not absorbed in the normal way. I've also recently had cardiac bypass (unrelated except...) naturally the docs want me to take a million heart pills. Couple that with my natural affinity for pills and a lot of the time I don't take them as I should. > What books are you reading? None > How old are you? 57 > What medical conditions do you have? Diabetes, asthma heart & gastric bypass, sleep apnea & probably a few more. > What gender? ME > Goals? Physical vitality (I do a lot of bike riding & want the same level of endurance & what moderate speed I had before. Bob > > I am a rookie to this but...

Yikes. Hopefully the lose of weight will help with the DM and the heart problems. Do you wear an anti apnea breathing device at night. If not it is vital you get checked out. Sleep apnea will hasten aging if uncorrected. > > What gender? > ME > > Goals? > Physical vitality (I do a lot of bike riding & want the same level of > endurance & what moderate speed I had before. Keep at it. It should improve with the lose of weight. > Bob > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > I'd avoid the vitamin liquids as they > > have serious stability issue once opened. |
