Thank you MrsD.
I notice you have recommended Puritan's Pride as a source of supplements in many of your responses - does it have better prices than other providers? |

Puritan's has better prices on some things, but not others.
For example with the sale going on now, for d-ribose (which is expensive), buy one get 2 free... I saved about $30. (over iherb) They do raise their prices for "sales", but even then they can be a "deal". I used to get my grapeseed extract from them, but then Costco started carrying a nice softgel type, so I bought that last time. After you buy from them once, if you give your email, they will send occasional emails, for free shipping + perhaps a $$ discount coupon. The buy one get 2 free is the major sale I use. I don't think the savings on their other sales is as great. They only do this one once a year in summer typically. (If you save your catalogs from them, you will see they alter prices according to sales-- this bothers me somewhat, but I think you still save alot in the end.) In the past Puritan's did not have the "newest" supplements, but I see that is changing. They now have methylcobalamin and the d-ribose which I had purchased at iherb previously. I think their quality is fine. I've used them for years. But just not for everything.

Sorry - I hit the wrong key

Puritan's Pride I have not had any labs done on these levels - I am scheduled to meet Friday with the nurse practitioner of one of the two local neurologists who I have been told works with Neuropathy - can't get an appt with the dr until Oct. I am in Mississippi. Do you have knowledge of doctos/centers in the Southeast - someone to recommend? I have read of Dr. Norman Latov in NY on this website. I want to take the best steps I can in dealing with this - these neuropathic symptoms of burning and pins and needles started within the last two months and it has taken a toll on my life. I am so grateful for this website - you have all given me hope and inspiration - thank you. |

I am going to put my comments in red within your quote:
If I don't comment, that means okay. Quote:
If you are postmenopausal, I'd use a vitamin product without iron. I don't know what is in your product, but there are many "senior" type products now, with minerals without iron. If you take a multi-- you probably won't need extra zinc.
