Question

Why all the supplements?

Quote:

1) A good multivitamin
2) B & C supplement
3) Calcium, magnesium and zinc supplement
4) Atkins Dieters Advantage (chromium)
5) CoQ10 (thought to aid in weight loss, esp. if you're 35+ yo)
6) Green Tea extract (antioxidant & aids in weight loss)

The 1st three are absolutely essential and you really need to be taking them.....anyone should....LC or NOT! The next three are optional.

If you're getting at least 100% from what you're eating and a good multivitamin, shouldn't that be enough? Do we need more than 100%? I'm taking GNC's Women's Multi which is better than the Atkins recommended multi and a supplement of potassium for the aches and cramps.

I do think that the Green Tea Extract is a wonderful idea as green tea will do wonders for your health overall.

What is the CoQ10? Just curious.

Thanks
