I still havta know....James, do you take vitamins (supplements) in pill, powder, or liquid form?

I'm sorry Gillyann, I thought you were trying to be funny and I thought I'd just drop it.

I don't consider vitamins to be drugs or medicine, they're found naturally in our food,(before chemicals and the preserving process depletes so much of their potency). And like I said in an earlier post, they're added to foods and drinks such as milk, jucies, cereal, and much more. Now in a perfect world (for me) I'd have my own cows, chickens, and grow my own fruits and vegetables...but alas, I live in an apartment community in the suburbs and it's not possible here. I try to buy the freshest stuff available but even then the quality is compromised from field to market.

So I take vitamin supplements(started about 5 yr. ago), I don't know the importance of the question concerning in what form, pill, powder, or liquid, but if it'll help you to know I guess actually I use all three type. I don't follow the instructions of the manufacturer nor take any advice from anyone.

I take 1 vitamin C 500mg tablet every other day
I take 1 vitamin B complex 33mg capsule every other day
I take 1 vitamin E 100iu gellcap every other day
I take 1 tablet of calcium 200mg every other day
I take 1 tablet of magnesium 100mg every other day
I take 1/2 tablet of iron 25mg every other day
I take 1/2 tablet of zinc 25mg every other day
I take 1/2 an iodine 12.5mg supplement tablet called Iodoral every other day
I take 1 1000mg gellcap of cod liver oil evry other day

I exercise daily as well, but as I told you a few years ago when we were discussing diet and exercise...my trust is in Jesus, but I don't think we should sit on the couch all day sucking down cokes and eating potato chips. We reap what we sow, and our bodies are a reflection of that principle.

Again just so on one will misunderstand, I don't drink soft drinks, coffee, or tea with caffiene because it makes me hyper and can be unhealthy; not because I believe it's a sin. Same with certain foods; if I came to your house and was offered fried foods and iced tea, rather than risk offending anyone I'd pray over it and give thanks and eat(probably a modest portion).

Any other questions?
