Thanks for commenting on the supplements, Mark. I hoped somebody would.
Up to about my third week, I used to take this cheap water soluble multivitamin
(100% of the daily recommended dose for each of the following: C, niacin, E, pantothenic acid, B6, B2, B1 and B12) along with an iron supplement and a Ca+Mg+Zn supplement (
Ca; 400mg; 50%
Mg; 155mg; 41%
Zn; 8.5mg; 85%
Biotin; 150µg; 300%
D3; 10µg; 200%
)
I got a "pro" multivitamin in week 3, (along with fish oil with 43% of the DRD of E per pill) and I stopped taking those mineral supplements.
The multivitamin says it's full of all kinds of stuff, but it's true that it doesn't have D3 and only has some Mg and Ca so I think re-adding the CaMgZn supplement might be a good idea.
