Anybody take vitamin supplements and or fish oil gel caps?
 

My boy is racing motocross and I have been riding with him. I have been working on getting my self into race shape for an assault on the 40+ class next year. I had a physical and the Doctor suggested a multi-vitamin. My cholesterol level is border line high (hereditary, thanks Dad!) If it gets much higher the Doc will put me on meds. I have heard that a side effect is muscle degradation. I would like to try a natural way to reduce it before the drug route. It goes without saying I work out and eat healthy already, so I am not trying to be a healthy couch potato! What vitamins are you guys taking?

I'm pretty into this stuff. Problem with vitamins is they are not regulated so there's no way to know if the pill really contains what the bottle says. Costco vitamins rate high though.

I highly recommend the book "Eat Right For Your Blood Type". Just Google it.

I take stronger faster healthier fish oil along with some other general supplements.

it seems expensive at first glance, but if you consider the omega-3 concentration, it ends up being cheaper for a month than most other brands. Love the stuff, and no aftertaste!!

Eat Right for your Blood Type was a very interesting book. I am a Type 0 negative blood type and just when I was going to stay away from red meat I felt that it encouraged it for my blood type.

I did the fish oil tabs for awhile but burping up fish oil got old fast.

I've noticed thank drinking alot of water throughout the day helps with how I feel and seems to keep the weight down easier.

Everybody is different, and I definitely keep an eye on what eye eat by reading ingredients and trying to stay away from to much sodium and saturated fats but the one thing I wont stay away from is beer. I call it my therapy for the evening and regardless of what anybody says, Hey, it works for me!!

My dog is on supplements....

A lady at my old job got me into adding flax seed (ground) to my food. I guess it has a high concentration of Omega3 in it. Oat meal is also supposed to help and I would often add the flaxseed to my morning oatmeal. I added extra water and downed it like a drink.

I've been taking a Costco multiple vitamine daily for 10+ years. So far so good. Luckily, no other meds at all. I'm 53 and still ride off-road with fast company so I somewhat understand what you're up against.

Might consider a KTM 350 also, they aren't nearly as fatiguing as a 450 and more forgiving than a 250.

Krill Oil is the best (1g / day), flax oil is next best, fish oil is 3rd.

I take krill and flax oil and have no cholesterol or high blood pressure problems.

not true, flax doesn't convert as well

vitamin D and fish oil are great for everything.

for fish oil you need 1.2g of EPA/DHA per day which is approx 10 of the costco capsules

smart money is on vitamin D at approx 6000iu per day.

FDA guidelines are about 30 years behind the curve. High cholesterol and low vitamin D levels seem to go together, get some D and fish oil then go get tested again

saturated fat isn't the bad guy either, just the result of badly designed research that was sponsored by kellogs

at the time the main competition to cereal for breakfast was bacon and eggs, so "proving" that bacon and eggs were bad for you made a lot of sense for kellogs business.
