Haha, Rosance, I think I am alright! I know when it is all written down that it looks like a lot, but I assure you that it is not.
The extra vitamins that I take are otherwise lacking in my multivitamin. For example, my multivitamin only has 28% of my daily calcium, 8% of my daily magnesium, and 50% of my daily zinc. The only one that I would be going over on would be my my vitamin E, which I am actually just taking so I will run out of it already!! It is such a tiny pill that omitting it from my program would not make a dent. Also, much of these vitamins are excreted in your urine if your body cannot use them, like Vitamin C. I also stopped taking the vitamins that my multivitamin does have enough of, like all my B vitamins.
I know, why not take one that has enough of them all? Well, because I prefer to take the ones that my body needs on an individual basis, because then I feel like my body will break it down and use it more efficiently. Also, on a college student budget, my diet isn't as nutritious as I would like it to be, leading to a deficiency in many of these vitamins.
My program is modeled after Ginie's, and I don't think I take any more than many women on here who take large amounts of L-arginine along with other herbs and vitamins. Since I do not think I could stomach that much L-arginine powder, and since I heard it is good to take them in a stack, I take my amino acids in pill form in lesser amounts. Herbal programs can also require you to take copious amounts of powders and whatnot, as can BO.
If I notice any side effects I will cut something out, but so far I have only noticed glowing skin, more energy, longer and stronger hair and nails, and a much more improved immune system!
Thanks for asking!
