Over the past two months, I've (I'm 19)
started taking some vitamins, drinking
more water, eating considerably less fast
and other junk food, and going to the gym.
I'm just curious though, the combination
of vitamins that I am taking, is it okay?
I've been taking:
*Men's Health Formula One Daily (Equate)
If you need the exact percentages I will
post
*L-Arginine 500mg
*Ginkgo Biloba 120mg
*Korean Ginseng 100mg x2 a day
*Super B-Complex
*Flaxseed Oil 1000mg x3 a day
I started taking each for different
reasons
the multivitamin I figured would give me
the essentials that I wasn't getting from
my diet. the L-Arginine was recommended
for protein and use with exercise. Ginkgo
Biloba I started taking to keep me focused
(I have ADHD). The Korean Ginseng I
started taking for energy purposes and the
same with the Super B-Complex. The
Flaxseed I am taking to improve my skin.
Am I mixing anything I shouldn't? Thanks!

It looks like you have a decent list
there. You aren't over doing it. the
only thing I would be concerned about is
the b-complex, since vitamin b is already
in the multi. Just check the percentages
and don't overdo it....anything over the
recommended dosage is either not healthy
or just gets flushed out of your system
and wasted.

Agreed. The list looks pretty good. The
B vitamins aren't going to hurt you, but
mominashoe is right. You're body is
pretty smart and knows how much of the
b-complex vitamins it needs. Anything it
doesn't need gets flushed out. Which is
why your urine might be bright yellow.
That's just the excess getting flushed.
