I take a Wal-mart brand of vitamin...and any B-compex at Wal-mart or
Walgreens.
I break them in half to expose the inside.
I also take Amino Acid and Omega 3. These are gel capsules. Anytime you
can find a gel cap it's good.
As far as lab tests...your doc should know which to do....mine does a
Lipid panel and a comprehensive metabolic panel about every 6 months.
Also checks my A1c which is blood sugar because I am a type 2 diabetic
and checks my thyroid cause I am on meds for that. Your over all
condition will determine what tests to do...
Of course, blood pressure checks are routine.
Drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself hydrated...I aim at about 3 qts
of water a day. I don't drink the s****ts drinks because of the sugar
content..but some ppl drink those for the electrolytes.
Try the uoaa.org and Shaz's discussion boards...lots of information
there.
Educate yourself....and many times your doctor....relax and have a good
life.
