Well, my diet hasn't been very good lately but after reading what the rest of you are doing I'm inspired to try harder! Here are the supplements I take daily, which hopefully counteract some of my dietary sins:
Ultra Omega 3-6-9 by KAL. I've been taking one daily, but think I should up it to two.
CoQ-10, 100 mg.(nervous about anti-oxidants while on chemo)
B-100 complex one daily
Acidophilus gel caps, 4 daily
One good Multi-Vit and Mineral tab
Viactiv calcium chews, 2-3
Vit.D, 400 mg.
Magnesium Oxide 400 mg
Melatonin, 2 mg.
We do eat a lot of veggies and fruit, but too much red meat (grass fed organic) and chicken(and dairy), and not enough fish...will be striving to flip that equation!
