I am hoping we will start trying again in June so I am making sure we are start our supplements asap.
I am taking a multi-vitamin, folic acid, fish oil, zinc, vitamin d, b vitamins, and royal jelly.
Dh is going to take a multi-vitamin, l'arginine, coq10, and zinc. He is not really into this so he won't take much.
How much of these supplements did you all take?
Thanks!!
Folic Acid 2000mcg
Fish Oil 1000mg
Vit D 1000IU
Zinc & B vitamins are adequate in my multi vit. CoQ10 60mg, and again sufficient Zinc in DH multi vitamin.
Not sure on L-arg
I don't thin RJBP is recommended anymore - Atomic will chime in.
Ahhh thanks. I will check out multi-vitamins.
I didn't know that about RJBP!! I must have been reading old posts. Are you taking anything else?
I take prenatal, vit. D, folic acid, dha!!
I'm taking EPO too 600mg
is dha better than fish oil or are they the same thing?
I just take dha b/c I don't eat fish... Most do the fish oil :)
Prenatals with dha
Vit D
Probiotic
Wheat Grass supplements instead of a juice
Brewers Yeast
DH: multivitamin, fish oil, probiotic, vit d, wheat grass
There should be the right about of zinc and b vitamins in your prenatal. Do not add more.
I do not think anyone should take royal jelly. The risks are too high and you are already getting all the benefits.
1000 IU D
Fish oil amount can vary depending on circumstance, 1000 mg max. be sure that no matter what, you are taking more fish oil than EPO if you are taking that.
folic should be 2000 total for most (count hte amount in prenatal as part of this)
DH should not take extra zinc if there is some in his multi.
Coq10 should be 50-100 for most men
L-arg should be 50 for most men
I actually like DHA better but it's super expensive and fish oil comes in higher doseQuote:

Thanks so much! Do you have a probiotic you would recommend?
Any name brand that is readily available in your area is fine.
