    Lightbulb How to take your supps and when?

    With the list of boy supps is there anywhere we can take a look to get more info on when to take what supps etc and what not to take them with?

    Currently I take

    Effexor - this is my own medication for anxiety and depression am hoping to wean off before TTC.. but we will see?

    I take this in the morning (on an empty tummy) with folic acid & fish oil.

    DH has been taking his supps: fish oil, folic acid, Vit E and Zinc with his morning coffee milk.

    Should we be taking them a different way?

    Cheers!!
    Fathers Day baby!

    That's a good question. I try to spread ours out so we take some 3 times a day to avoid taking them all at once. Here's my schedule:

    Morning: Folic Acid, L Arg, and Mucinex (with a shot of green juice, this chlorophyll drink I like).

    Lunch: Folic Acid, Fish and Flaxseed oil, Pynogenol, Potassium supp (1/2 of one), and Vitamin D.

    Before bed (so a couple of hours after dinner): Folic Acid +B12, Royal Jelly/Bee Pollen, Zinc, DHEA (25mg), EPO, Raspberry Leaf supp.

    BUT I have no idea if this is a good schedule....like I said, I just try to space it out in hopes of less counteraction between them.
    (2002) (2005) from 1st marriage. TTC since Aug 2010- Dx: low sperm count and 1% normal sperm. We are giving up and moving on with a baby-free life.
    UPDATE: surprise bfp in Feb 2013! It's a BOY!

    NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!

    Folic acid is best spread out through the day for maximum absorption.

    I like Lola's plan and I think it's actually easier to break them up than swallow all at once.

    Let me do some research and write something up, ok??
