I have made a few changes since my last daily supplements update on June 11, 2015:
http://strontiumforbones.blogspot.com/2015/06/my-daily-supplements.html
The most significant change was the switch from Doctor’s Best Strontium Bone Maker to AOR Strontium Support II. I made this change after Doctor’s Best was sold to a Chinese company and before discovering that Doctor's Best Strontium was discontinued in July 2016 (60- and 120-count bottles) and September 2016 (360-count bottle).
I reduced my dosage of Bluebonnet Lecithin from two to one softgel, which is a serving per the label. Many years earlier, I had been taking three softgels per day. The reason for my latest dosage reduction is that there is currently some controversy about the health benefits of lecithin. I’ve been taking it for many years for cardiovascular health.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecithin
See the introduction and the
section on “Biology” in Wikipedia for an overview of lecithin, choline, and
phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholines, a class of phospholipids that
incorporate choline as a head group.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26108618 “Effects
of choline on health across the life course: a systematic review.”
I also switched from Nature’s Bounty Vitamin E to Solgar
Vitamin E, from Twin Labs Zinc to Solgar Zinc, and from Country Life Citrus
Bioflavonoids and Rutin to Solgar Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex. These changes
were due solely to unavailability at my online supplement distributor,
iherb.com, which no longer stocks Nature’s Bounty Vitamin E or Twin Labs Zinc.
Country Life Citrus Bioflavonoids and Rutin is out of stock at iherb.com until 12/25/2016.
I may buy whichever bioflavonoid brand is available when I reorder.
I like my
supplier’s next day air expedited shipping (at extra cost) because some
vitamins and supplements are heat labile. I am unhappy with its
current policy of giving a discount, based on total amount of current invoice, for
my NEXT purchase rather than for my CURRENT purchase, as was previously done.
This policy has raised my costs.
