I take kelp for iodine,fish oils, vit D3 (at the rda as they don't do testing where I live and private blood testing is not yet available either); two x 250mg of Vit C.; I also take a small amount of magnesium (175mg) as It helps me sleep. Maybe I should be adding zinc?

[BelindaTupper]

In Canada you can get a calcium, magnesium and zinc tablet combined (Jamieson brand) and I take that plus D 2000, E 800, a multi for over 50, and wild salmon fish oil. Usually vital,. C, too. Dr. Also recommends aspirin 8 mg. I had flu shots and 2 pneumonia shots and haven't got a cold or flu in over a year.
