Hello Everyone,

Just wanted your opinion on this. On the advice of my oncologist I started taking a calcium supplement. Caltrate 600+D Plus Mineral Calcium Supplement is what I've chosen. It has 600 mg. of calcium, 400 IU of Vitamin D, and 40 mg of Magnesium, 7.5 mg of zinc, 1 mg of copper and 1.8 mg of manganese PER 1 chewable tablet and I take 2 tablets daily. One in the morning with breakfast and one in the evening at supper time. Also, I started taking Nordic Naturals Arctic Cod Liver Oil. It is 100 percent Arctic Cod Liver Oil that "meets our daily needs for DHA and EPA. It is molecularly distilled. It claims to have the highest level of Omega-3 fatty acids per teaspoon of any cod liver oil, with only naturally occurring vitamins A and D." The bottle also claims that "all Nordic Naturals products surpass all national and international pharmaceutical standards for freshness and purity, and are free from heavy metals, dioxins, and PCBs. Every batch is third party tested to guarantee exceptional freshness and purity levels" It has an orange flavor that is flavored with 100 percent natural orange oil. No gluten, yeast, artificial colors or flavors. I take 1 tsp. every evening after I finish with our supper.

Here are the supplement facts:

Serving size - 1 tsp.

Total fat - 5.0 g.
Sat. fat 1.0 g.
Trans Fat 0g.
Cholesterol 14 mg.
Vitamin A - 1000-2000 I.U.

Omega 3s:

EPA 410 mg
Other Omega-3s 225 mg
Total Omega 3s 1260 mg
Oleic Acid (Omega 9) 600 mg

I'd appreciate your feed back. I'm still learning all this nutrition stuff. Some of what I've typed here is "greek to me."

Thank you in advance for looking it over and offering me your feedback.

God Bless all.........
