Great thread!
For vitamins, I take:
- Magnesium citrate 2000mg (300mg equivalent - for cramps, very helpful at this dose, any less didn't work for me)
- Calcium citrate 2400mg (500mg equivalent - for cramps, bone strength)
- Iron tablets (on and off, depending on ferratin levels)
- Vitamin C, Zinc (occasionally for colds).
My phosphorus levels have been on the low side for my last 3 tests, but so far I've only been advised to eat high phosphorus foods...
I'm wondering if I should start fish oil too, my eye dryness has been off the charts lately. The punctal plugs have helped, but our weather here is so hot and dry, and if I'm not outside I'm in air-conditioning! The other day I was outside jogging and blinked and my contact rolled up into a ball...ouch.
