Answer:
i think your fine taking all that... because i take it all too!! ... apart from the skin hair and nails and vitamin c. Your skin, hair and nails will be fine as long as you eat healthy, get in plently of fruit and veg and drink lots of water, then you wont need those tablets, which i can imagine will save you some money! I'd also drop the vitamin c tablets and eat lots of kiwis and strawberrys which a naturally high in vitamin c, more than an orange would you believe. Echineaca is great stuff, you wont have a cold for yrs if you stick to it and acidophilus is great for healthy, bowels, water works etc. Just make sure you're eating healthy as well and you'll be fine. Sorry to hear about your miscarriage also xx
None of these will do you any harm and some may actually do you some good. If you have a well balanced diet, you probably don't need any of them. If you feel better for it, and the expense isn't too great, keep taking them - at least you'll have the most vitamin enriched pee in your street.
Way too many. Try eating right - more veggies and fruit.
Taking a multivitamin with a glass of cranberry juice everyday would be alot easier.
All a waste of time. If you eat a balanced diet you don't need any of these. The body finds it hard to absorb any vitamins and minerals from supplements anyway. The optimum way is through eating a proper diet.
Evidence (not just hearsay) has shown echinacea has no benefits to your immune system whatsoever.
Same for too much vit C, in fact too much can cause problems.
As for the other stuff, forget it. Why not drink a little cranberry juice (100mls) a day?
The food supplement industry is one of the biggest confidence tricks in retail history. If you were that really malnourished your GP would prescribe them for you.
Echineaca can be a problem with interactions with other medications and formulations. Too many times, problems can be CAUSED by an overzealous immune system. Proper, basic nutrition would be all you need for your hair. I'd be very suspicious about anything oral that is supposed to improve my hair. Protein is the basic element there, along with healthy fats. A multi-vitamin can help and probably won't hurt, but be conservative. Good nutrition is essential to health, but that does not take a lot of exotic and expensive supplements. That takes eating a variety of good foods.
Noone has ever died of too many vitamins!
What is recommended intake is just enough to keep you from diseases! (Debated over the years)
Get a blood test and find out if there is any vitamins/minerals you are missing.
