I'm hoping atomic sees this or one of you can help :)

My plan for sups is

DW:
Prenatal vitamin materna (1 mg folic, also contains 400mg vitamins D))
Prenatal iron (0.5 mg folic)
Omega 3
Probiotic
Vitamin d 1000
Coq 10

DH:
Men's over 50 vitamin
Omega 3
Probiotic
VidMin D 1000
Coq 10
L carnitine
L arginine

My questions are :

1) vitamin D- I read to take 1000 iui but is it ok that we'll be taking more because the multivitamin and the prenatal vitamin already have 200-400 in them??

2) l carnitine and l arginine- maybe I read wrong but I thought I saw to let DH only take 50-100mg BUT on amazon they only sell it in 500mg-1500mg pills? What's the correct dosage for DH

3) how does the supplement plan sound? Anything I'm missing or should add in?

Hmm my men's over 50 has 700 mg Vit. D in it. It's ok to take a little more. I would not go up any higher than 1500 or so without guidance from a doc.

Arginine is meant to be 500 and carnitine 1000 mg.

Looking great to me!

Thanks atomic ! You're right, my mistake! The men's over 50 is 800 iui and the materna prenatal vitamin has 400 iui. I'll buy supplemental vitamins d to make sure we both get 1000-1200 total.

Is the l carnitine and arginine recommended onenpill a day ?

Oh great! Yes if you can get them in one pill, men tend to comply better the less pills they have to swallow LOL!!
