My doctor has been informed of my supplements and has given me the green light to keep taking them. Here's what I take and why:
  • I'm allergic to seafood so I take flax oil pills to boost up my omega-3's.
  • I take vitamin D since I don't get a lot of sun (and from what I've read, most overweight people are deficient regardless).
  • I take calcium because I'm a woman and I don't eat a lot of foods that contain it.
  • I recently started taking a B vitamin complex for extra energy, which seems to be helping my anxieties more than anything else. I don't feel it's a placebo effect simply because I didn't make the connection until after the fact. Anything that helps with my anxieties is a huge bonus!

I take fish oil 1000 mg, calicum w/mag, iron and B12. I don't eat much meat.

I've been watching this thread just to see what everyone thought. The only thing that really caught my eye on your list is that you take 4000 mg of fish oil a day. That's the high end dosage (from what I've read). Being as that's a blood thinner I'd be a little cautious with that one. I know fish oil is a great supplement, but unless you really need it for something specific I'd consider lowering that one a little. JMO.
