I showed Lessman's vitamins (I guess they were the multivits) to a nutritionist about 10 years ago and was told not to take them. She didn't like the large amounts of some vitamins in the mix. She told me to take just a basic multivitamin like some of the major brands. I think she said One A Day, but I'm not sure I remember it right. I do take Lessman's fish oil and co-Q10.

I think you might be surprised at how many topic experts there are on this chat board.

I think I am fairly well read but I try to keep an open mind. I also worked in the medical field as a licensed medical assistant. I also did medical transcription work and was trained at a VA Hospital which sees everything and anything.
Anyway...I had a checkup with my PCP yesterday. I had been in another state for 6 months and while there I had a UTI as well as suffering from intermittent blood in my urine. I have a history of passing kidney stones 2-3 times a year for the past 10 years. I have had CT scans, cystoscopies and blood work - all of which were negative because I had passed the stones.
While talking with my PCP yesterday (who ordered another CT scan because of current blood), I asked him about taking cranberry pills or another form of herbal or vitamin supplement. (I take nothing) He told me "absolutely not". I am on Xeralto for atrial fibrillation as well as Metoprolol. He said while on blood thinners there is contraindications with vitamins and herbal remedies.
I have been with him for 15 years and he has done very well by me the few times I have been ill.
So...that's just one person's take on this topic.
