@daisy17 who is doing the recommendations? Your doctor? Some study? You can be tested for DEFICIENCIES in all the fat soluble vitamins, I know because one of my conditions causes poor absorption of these so I am tested. I’m sorry but to me there are way too many people running around from supplements to more supplements looking for a miracle cure-“oh look a new study that says X” and who are NOT talking to their medical teams, who are obsessed with the next big thing for this condition. Maybe because I have multiple conditions and because I was down that road, 15 years ago one of my rare diseases several studies came out saying X supplement might be beneficial but guess what, now they are telling patients STOP taking that supplement. Sorry IMO you all are playing with fire. One of my medical teams has people bag up and bring in supplements and go through them one by one. If you are DEFICIENT your medial team can help. But all this racing around on to the next supplement and the one after that and the one after that to the point where people are supplementing the supplements seems really risky IMO. One of my specialists sees a lot of toxicity for people taking all this stuff without a total determination of their DIET is deficient. And as I said all three of my main medical team want DIET first.
I know many of you disagree, it’s also the main reason I stop on this board infrequently because to me this whole thing is playing with fire. /end rant
