that way I know I'm getting the full recommended dosage. I take A,B-complex C,D3, and a boatload of individual minerals. I'll be 77 the 29th and I'm the healthiest person I know, my age and younger. Of course, that's just me, you should ask your doctor. Best of health irisblue!

Which was disconcerting at first, he introduced himself as "Hello I'm Dave, nice to meet you Ms Isisblue." Still calls me Ms Iris. Smart smart smart maw/excellent bedside /chairside manner.
