Default Wondering about supplements?

Hi there,

I've been reading more about supplements after reading Dr. A's recommendations. I'm not taking his mixes, but have gone out and bought some of the vitamins and minerals he recommends seperately.

I found it a challenge to get good unbiased info. Too many website, for example, sell vitamins and supps, so I don't trust their advice re: dosages, etc.

I thought I'd share one good site -- www.supplementwatch.com -- seems to be fairly unbiased and is put together by a group of health professionals.

Those of you taking Chromium may wish to look this one up. I've been taking Chromium Chelate because Chromium Picolonate is illegal here in Canada. The site I mention references some pretty nasty side effects from Picolonate -- including DNA corruption.

In any event, Chelate is more readily taken up by the body.

Worth checking out!

K.
