Wait, you take ALL these vitamins, everyday? The Mens OneaDay is fine, as is the Omega-3 (you need to halve your serving, though), but you%26#039;re clogging up your body with the rest of that stuff.





Your body was not meant to deal with these nutrients in isolated form. I%26#039;m also noticing large amounts of two particular amino acids--Glutamine and Arginine. That%26#039;s fine, but what about the rest of the amino acids you have to have?





Chop most of this out. Ginkgo and MSM aren%26#039;t that great for you, and you can get plenty of glutamine from raw spinach and fish, and arginine is plentiful is as little as an ounce and a half of cheese (real cheese, not American cheese!) You can get more than enough vitamin C and bioflavonoids by eating an orange a day, and at least three other servings of brightly-colored fruits. Besides, too many bioflavonoids will give you dairrhea, and studies suggest they aren%26#039;t as beneficial when taken in supplement form. In fact, some flavonoids turn pro-oxidant (that%26#039;s the bad stuff that damages your body) when taken in supplement form.





If you really want to continue to take all these things, you need to see a doctor, preferably your primary care physician and a registered dietician. Between those two, I imagine they%26#039;ll have a better picture of what%26#039;s going on in your body when you take that stuff.





Wow, talk about overload.
Reply:What you need to do is take all this info to a doctor--a naturopathic doctor, even, if you prefer. You could easily overdose on certain vitamins. For example, vitamin C is very difficult to overdose, while Iron or Calcium can be overdone more easily. It sounds to me like you%26#039;re going a little over the top. As a pre-med student and a person who has studied a lot in alternative medicine, I go for a nutrition drink, a one-a-day women%26#039;s, and some herbal tea in my day, and that seems to keep me healthy. There are some higher-cost methods I used to use, such as colloidal minerals, which I would recommend, though I can%26#039;t afford them myself.





So yes. Do see a licensed doctor about all this, you want to be careful.
