This weekend, at Half Price Books, I snagged a copy of
Dr. Atkins Vita-Nutrient Solution. If you want to know everything about everything from his point of view, this is the book. His practice of "complementary medicine" was based on healing through nutrition and supplementation.
Based on my own dr's advice and ongoing low-carb experience, here's my list:
Multi-vitamin
Glucosamine/Chondroitin Triple Strength (2x)
Calcium 600 + D (2x)
CoQ10 75 mg.
Super B Complex
Potassium
Chromium Picolinate (might stop this)
Fish Oil (2x)
Vitamin E 400 iu (just restarted this)
L-Carnitine/Alpha lipoic acid combo (started this recently)
I probably forgot something! I believe I have a good and sufficient reason for each one of these. But I think everybody has to use their own judgment--it's a highly individual thing. Atkins discusses specific reasons for a boatload of supplements, worth considering.
I'm a 60 y/o female, so some of this stuff is antioxidant/anti-aging/anti-creaking nutrients, and it seems to be working.
I purchase supplements from Puritan's Pride (puritan.com online) and Costco.
