I'm not sure if this was asked already, but do you guys take vitamins?

As of today, I'm taking the One A Day Weight Lose vitamin. I know I need a vitamin, and I need to lose weight, so hopefully this will work to my advantage!

Nosey question, but what is PCOS?

Pat

224 days and counting . . . again!

I am assuming that the poster meant Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. It's considered to be the most common endrocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. It's characterized by menststrual irregularities and evidence of hyperandrogenism (excessive hair growth in the "wrong places", acne, balding, elevated testosterone levels). Ovaries may or may not have cysts. PCOS frequently progresses to diabetes and increased risks of heart disease.

Just went to an education seminar for diabetics and PCOS was discussed. That's why I know about it. Apparently, the high insulin levels associated with this syndrome drive the ovaries to overproduce the male hormone.

More than you wanted to know, right???

You can get iron free vitamins. I buy all my supplements, some Atkins products and health & beauty aids from the Vitamin Shoppe. Their website is www.vitaminshoppe.com All of the products are discounted ! I get iron free multi-vitamins for my DH from them ( Vitamin Shoppe Brand ). They also have brand name items as well.
