DH supps/fish oil question

[TTCaPRINCE]

DH is being a pain in my ***! He wont take fish oil because he is a vegetarian. Does the mans diet/supps really have that much of an effect or is it more me? Right now he is on Centrum Multi, Folic Acid, and Zinc. Should I add him on anything else? I am taking a Fish Oil/Flaxseed/Borage Oil blend. But I think I remember atomic saying something about no borage oil? I am on that blend along with Nature Made Multi, Zinc, Folic Acid, and B Complex. Should I add anything else? BTW I have a magnesium supp but I haven't been taking it because I can't figure out if it sways blue or pink? Anyone know if I should take it or not?

Don't worry too much if DH doesn't cooperate - my DH didn't even know I was swaying, didn't take a single supplement, and we still got our boy. Can you get a straight fish oil supp for yourself? What you need his high Omega 3s, not 6s. And I was taking magnesium supps every day (actually so was DH) when we conceived DS.

Perfect! I will add the mag back into my supps! And yes I am planning on ditching the blend and just getting a straight fish oil. Also do you think I should add a potassium gluconate supp? Or no? So DH should be good on magnesium, multi, zinc, and folic and that should be good?

My understanding is that the potassium supps aren't really absorbed very well. Can you get coconut water down? Lots of people don't really like it but I LOVE the stuff...

Atomic posted an article on how to get all the potassium you need, I'll see if I can find the link.

yea i have to be a dream member :/ i am trying to talk DH into letting me be one. he already gave me a big fat no on the personalized plan. but i think i came up with one on my own ... yes i like coconut water when it is mixed into things so getting it down isn't an issue. i like to add it to things like my smoothies or tea.

TTCaprince your DH can take udo's oil which is a good form of vegetarian omega 3 oils.

My DP didn't take supps so try not to worry too much if your DH doesn't.

Thanks! He says he already feels like he is taking a bunch of supps so I don't know if I could even get him to try honestly.

That's a relief! He is being really cooperative except for the supps and he wont stop wearing his jockeys. He also wears compression shorts when he runs and coaches DD's soccer. I told him as soon as soccer is over the compression shorts need to go. I can't really yell at him for wearing them now ... neither one of us want his junk jumping all over the place while he is coaching a bunch of 5 year olds! So hopefully underwear isn't too big of an issue
