Do I need to be doing the drinks NOW?

[Flava]

Flava, your DH is taking way more stuff than mine! Should I add more things?? No way my DH will drink green tea or V8 juice!!

Only more sup for my DH is ginseng, Vit. D ,potassium , FA !
The other stuff is just healthy green sups and antioxidants .
I would try to give him Vit D and FA for sure! The vit. D is only 1 very small pill /day and FA is a small pill to.(this are important to take for DH) So maybe he won't complain for that.

Okay, well, this leads me to the next question: How much of each supplement should DH be taking? He takes:

CoQ10--300 mg
B12-- 1000mcg
E--400 i.u.
L-arg--500mg
Fish Oil (mercury Free)--1200mg
Zinc--50mg
L-Carnitine--500mg
Daily multivitamin

Is all of that okay? Should he up the doses or lower them? Should he add anything?

As long as you don't exceed the suggested dosages on the bottles then all that should be fine. Sorry I feel like a butthead but it takes me forever to go and look up each supp individually...

The exception would be the zinc. That is a lot of zinc. He probably doesn't need that much. Feel free to cut that amount in half and if he is getting some in his multi already, he for sure needs to cut back a little.

The minerals you ahve to look out for are things like copper, selenium, boron...these are included in some multivitamins and then people double up and take additional forms in supps and those can be quite bad for you and/or sway pink if you take too much.

folic acid 2400mg
potassuim 99mg
L-caritine 500mg
ginseng 100 mg (bottle says take 200 of this will do that only in Sept.)
ubiquinol CoQ10 200mg
Vit. B12 500 mg

also healthy stuff:

and he drinks every day some:
green tea with lemon
V8 juice
V8 fusion
club soda
other juice drinks
(we stoped drinking diet pepsi so have to drink something else right ?lol)
He will drink some asg or ural, gelatin and acv in Sept.


What do you guys think of this? Is this a good plan for DH?

Flava, your DH is such a trooper!!

The only thing I have concerns about is the zinc at 50 mg. 50 is prob. safe but 25 is better. If he's getting some in other places like a multivitamin then for sure he will want to cut back.

He don't take any other sups. The zink is 1 pill/day 50 mg. (says on the bottle)
