Even with the supplementation my level is low (36 in October) but I haven't read whatever research keeps prompting my doctors to tell me to take it.<br /><br />I actually feel better on the CoQ10....and that scares me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10408548251335250244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-3997017036459762892013-11-11T14:20:42.103-06:002013-11-11T14:20:42.103-06:00it's a tricky business! i don't blame the...it's a tricky business! i don't blame the temptation to simply take a multi -- but as i learned more about how vitamins and minerals interact and compete, i do the head-bang more and more.... tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-66199947379065719022013-11-11T13:38:27.702-06:002013-11-11T13:38:27.702-06:00What I don't like about a lot of supplements ...What I don't like about a lot of supplements is that they have a ridiculous amount of B vitamins. Maybe if you're living on a diet of veggie burgers and ho-hos, you need that.<br /><br />When I was taking large doses of zinc (100mg a day, as I recall), I ended up with a long sinus infection. Zinc can prevent the absorption of copper, which is important for the immune system.

We can exchange views, ideas - let people know what we found works. <br /><br />Of course what the reader then decides to do is always a personal decision.<br /><br />Life, our bodies, our diet, our health we have to try and get the right balance and sometimes health can be a very fine balance.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-82050445653144675032013-11-09T18:43:26.395-06:002013-11-09T18:43:26.395-06:00Sure, immune-suppression is not likely be explaine...Sure, immune-suppression is not likely be explained by the increase in progesterone .

It looks like my decision to start using some hormone replacement therapy was the right one - I feel better and less carbohydrate sensitive, my body is less eager to gain weight. During pregnancies I always felt really well, allergies got way better, I didn't gain weight , the weight gain was during lactation. I think that higher progesterone could make my thyroid to work more intense, and more estrogen means less fat deposits in my middle-section.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.com
