Vitamins after bc?
I eat relatively good but have been taking vitamin supplements.
I was wondering what a good supplement might be, if someone could recommend a brand? I cannot take anything with soy or soy lecithin (ER+). Any suggestions?
I have been taking along with multivitamins a product called AOR Network Synergy 4 x a day.
For those who have managed to stay NED for a long time, do you attribute this to diet as well as supplements and if so, what supplements/vitamins are you taking on a daily basis?
My friend's doctor said that you can mess up your system by taking vitamins...true? How do we know what area we are deficient in?
Thanks ladies,
Dianne
