Hi!
I am new to the diet, and am very exited about it.
My multivitamin has some of the % of the recomended doses for calcium/magnession/zinc. It also has Iron in it. Do I just need to take xtra supplements to reach the mg the diet recomends or do I need to take the amount in the multivitamin plus the 1000/400/15mg and the xtra iron.
Sorry to bother you with this question but I just want to make sure I am not over/under doing it.
Thanks!!

One more question...I live in Sweden so I am not able to find the brands mentioned in the book of the fish oil.(I heard about the book in the RR show) I found a brand that when I take 6 pills a day, gives me 1980mg of EPA and 1320mg of DHA. If I take 5 pills a day I am down to 1650mg of EPA and 1100mg of DHA. What should i do? Should I stay take the 6 pills or just the 5 so that I dont over do it? I weight 121 pounds and I am 5 feet 4 inches tall.
Its been impossible to find the right dosage other wise. They sell the MorEpa here but not DHA alone. Is there a website that ships fishoil pills outside the USA? GNC doesn´t do it.
Sorry again if this was long, and thanks for the help!

Minami doesn't sell MorDHA in Sweden? That is very strange. But your proportions are fine, just take five a day, that's close enough.

You can take the cal/mag/zinc along with your multi, as long as your multi has 100% the RDA or less of those minerals. Iron, however, I would need to know how many mg, you need to be more careful with that.

I live in a small town here in Sweden so maybe that is why I didnt find MorDHA in the store I have here.
As for the minerals this is how much I am getting from my multivitamin plus a calcium-magnessiun supplement.

900mg calcium
400mg magnessium
22.5mg zinc
14mg iron

These I take every day. Is this ok or should I aim for a different combination? I dont take the full calcium (1000mg) because then I would be over with the magnessium about 96mg per day. Should I take the extra calcium/magnessium supplemet to get me to the 1000mg calcium even if it means I go over with the magnessium? and Is it ok to just take 22.5mg of the zinc instead of the 24mg recommended?
And is the 14mg (everyday) of Iron that I get from the multivitamins the right amount? Or do I need to take the extra 24mg every 2-3 days?
Thanks again for your help.

You are small enough that I think you are fine the way you are, with what you are taking right now. That should be enough iron for you.

Let me know how it goes!

Marrena, thank you so much for all your help. I also want to say thanks for the writing the book, I think there are many woman (and their partners) that can benefit from reading it and adjusting it to their personal needs.
Best of luck with any future plans!!
