Vitamins and Such

I am going to write a full post on this topic but there are several who have asked me my recommendation for quality vitamin and mineral supplements.

My first suggestion is to use Senseable Supplements and get their 9 mineral drops, electrolytes with the 4 buffers.  However... since I know that is a bit overwhelming to look at -and on the expensive side initially (though really not long-term), here is what I would recommend instead:

Womens MultiVitamin
(Yes, I know it says women over 40 but the vitamin and mineral content as well as the other whole food components are excellent for every age.)

Childrens Chewable MultiVitamin
Excellent Liquid MultiVitamin(great quality but not always easy to take without mixing with juice)

Mens MultiVitamin


In addition to the above, I recommend additional Vitamin C, D3, Magnesium and Selenium.

Adult capsules/tablets:
Vitamin C(though I also highly recommend the Frontier powder and if you are local, you can order it though our co-op for less than $20 a bag!)  Adults dose is a minimum of 6,000mg for most everyone.  Yes, that is written correctly.
Vitamin D3(yes, take all 10,000IU unless you spent the day outside, then cut it in half and take only 5,000IU)
Magnesium3-4 tablets daily
Selenium2 tablets daily

Childrens Chewables (if they can take the adult pills/capsules, they are much better than the chewables but I know little ones take a while to get there)
Vitamin C(the powder is great here too for mixing with juice -especially when sick- but this is a good chewable alternative.
Another Chewable C
Dissolvable Vitamin D3
Magnesium Powder (epsom salt baths is another great way to get magnesium into your little ones and help them relax for sleep!)

All of these are ones that we either currently use or have used in the past and I checked to be sure none of the ingredients have changed.  There are several things you must be aware of and look for when purchasing supplements such as this.  I will include that information on the full post as soon as I can get to it.  In the meantime, please do email or message me if you have any questions at all.
