I take

Vitamin D
Cinnamon
Potassium (prescription)
Magnesium
Probiotics (just started)

I am on blood pressure meds, Diabetes meds (and insulin), prescription diuretic. Am I missing something or is there something I should not be taking with my prescriptions?? I have Diabetes and MS. Dr recommended the vitamin D and cinnamon.

Really? Well, learn something new every day! Thank You! I LOVE cinnamon!

its also an anti-inflammatory (so is turmeric, but cinnamon tastes better, though turmeric is easy to blend into things)

Depending upon your age, activity level and heart condition/history your dosage will vary.

sugarless4life · 09-12-2008, 07:07 PM

I also take 100 mg of CoQ10 daily. I am 52, very active, with a mother who had congestive heart failure like FOREVER. Of course, she was overweight, sedentary, diabetic, etc. Despite that, she lived to 87. Even so, I take no chances.

I am getting ready to put my Dad on a higher dose.

Thank you, I will be 46 next week, high cholesterol & heart conditions runs in the family but I don't have it, where I order my vitamins it said the 100 is the most popular so I will order that one.
