Vitamins

[stevieweevie]

Can anyone tell me what are the best vitamins to take on a daily basis, at the minute I am taking 1000mg of Cod liver oil, 1000mg of Vit C, and Omega 3, capsule. is this a good combo?

Vitamin C is a waste of time and money.

You don't need Cod Liver Oil AND Omega 3.
.
All you need to take is Omega 3 Fish Oils 1,000mgs daily.

Morning all - sqad why those in particular

[Sqad]

oeri....Omega 3 at that dose has been scientifically proved to be "helpful" in the reduction of cholesterol and heart disease.

There has been "some2 evidence to suggest that Omega 3 is helpful in the pain relief of Osteo arthritis, but this is contentious.

Are you re-christening me sqad LOL

[Sqad]

Peri...LOL

So should we take them regardless of whether we have high cholesterol ?

I'm abit remiss with things like this I don't take any vitamins nor do I give them to my boys athough a lot of the mums at school were shocked as they do.

Cod liver oil ?? Though that was good for joints? By the by there is another short question for you on my thread from other day - don't think you've seen it

[Sqad]

cath......my opinion........yes Omega 3 should be taken by everybody over the age of 12yrs old, regardless of their cholesterol levels.

[Sqad]

peri...if it is the flu question, then rollo's answer is correct.

[pericat]

No from my thread about RA -

[Sqad]

peri...sorry....I didn't see it.

If it ain't broke then don't mend it.....i.e if you are pain free, then no change in medication is necessary.

[Sqad]
