gaga_chick asked:


Can you please recommend a multivitamin that is nearly 100% on all essential vitamins/minerals/ingredients and fully absorbable? (e.g. is a liquid multi after working out the best in terms of absorption?)

Also, can you recommend natural supplements that solve the following issues:
1) high stress levels/cortisol (apple-shaped woman)
2) naturally energizing (i try to avoid coffee, but tea is not effective enough..not even black tea)
3) weight loss (again- as naturally as possible)
4) mood elevating (no anti-depressants please)

thanks very much! :)

I took a Nature Made Super B-Complex dietary supplement today for the first time and my urine is bright “neon” yellow. Is this just my body getting used to the high amounts of vitamins/minerals, or is this not normal?

I know a varied diet is the best. I just wanted to know what the most important vitamins to consume are, and examples of the foods that contain them.
I’m lookin for maybe 3 or 4 bits off food I can live off, without putting any weight on. Like bananas or somethin that can help me get thru the day. I eat stuff when I start feeling sick hungry, but hate the feeling I get after.

Ernesto T asked:


I want to take advantage of the fact that some vitamins and minerals are better absorbed when taken with certain other vitamins and minerals. I’m already aware of the following:

Vitamin E and Selenium
Vitamin C and bioflavenoids
Vitamin D and Calcium

Are these accurate? And are there any others that I should know about? I am particularly interested in Zinc and Vitamin A.

Xeranthemum 08 asked:


I am learning about nutrition, for my own interest and benefit. I have a couple of decent books, one with a table of nutritional values of foods.

There are many references to the toxicity of some vitamins and minerals if taken in excess, but nowhere can I find out how much is too much and the symptoms.
Can anyone help, please.
