Hi Wahaika!
In general I am a very healthy person. I eat a lot of veggies but probably don't get enough protein. I have been anemic in the past but am not currently. Sometimes I take a iron supplement during my period. I was almost vegetarian for some time but am trying to incorporate more meat into my diet....unfortunately I just don't like the tatse...red meat in particular.
I suppose adding a protein powder wouldn't be a bad idea.
I was also going to take 6000mg of MSM....do I have to ramp that up too?
As for exercise...I do about 25 min of cardio at least 4-6 days a week as well as a pilates routine as well. I do stretch. I am also planning on cutting back some of my cardio and doing more resistance training. I have no muscle!
I am taking a multivitamin, but I will take your advice and add B12 as mine only has 25 mg. I know that I have been B deficient in the past.
What is the benefit of kelp at night time? You have also mentioned that GABA would be good too? or is that just for the winter months? I remember my mom used to take kelp in a drink form when I was little and she always hated the taste!
I am surprised that my daily maximum would be 3000....I thought maybe last time that I had stalled....I think I was only taking 2000 per day. I guess maybe I just wasn't taking enough. Good to know.
Thanks for all your help!
