    Arrow supplements

    Now....

    I'd love to just eat raw and natural and whole, but I have come to accept the fact that the produce I can get is not wild and that my body needs to build up and get 100% after most of my life not eating raw and optimal.

    As it is I take raw vegan B12 and i'm thinking of taking vit D inthe winter too.
    I'm also taking systemic enzymes.

    I would love to hear what supplememnts/extras you all take if any, and why and how they help or helped you.

    Thing is, I feel like maybe supergreens would help me out, I feel like I may be deficient in B vits a bit and also I reckon I need 'remineralising' and also my reproductive system doesn't function so well so there's that too which i'm thinking of taking maca for..

    What do you guys use/recommend for general remineralisation and getting the body back up to 100% (not deficient)?

    I take the systemic enzymes. I have had major digestive problems and Alissa recommended them. Later my doctor did I was thrilled I was already on them. I am trying Shapeshift (see Alissa's sight.) I'll let you know what I think of that, too.

    needs updated and the blogging isn't active on this part. I've met that goal and started new goals! It's a lot of history though....

    Thank you both!

    Great to hear you are doing well on the enymes Kristi! I've only had them a week so far.

    Marigold what green powder do you buy?

    I've been checking up on B vitamins, I CAN get them all on raw and vegan, pheeeeeeeeeeew, it seems brewers/nutritional yeast is great for B vits... anyone know if this stuff's ok? Or is it a candida feeder???

    I take a lot of supplements - but I see myself still in recovery from some major illness. I would like to be off of all supplements. I don't do well with greens (a lot of them have spirulina in them and I react badly to the iodine).

    I struggle with anemia, so I take a natural iron citrate, all the B's (including 12), high doses of C, sterols and sterolins (for immune system), adrenal supports, folic acid, calcium and Vit D, probotics, selenium and copper . I'm staying away from the Omega oils right now.

    I have candida and I react to brewers yeast and engivata yeast (yet I crave them....).

    Within a year, I'd like to be off of them all!

    Lil thank you, that's great, I am in that space too where I want to get all zingy and 100% then get off them ideally, tho I would keep B12 for sure.

    I read that brewers yeast is dead so doesn't react with candida - I was dubious and your experience is valuable there, thank you!

    Spirulina gave me a stomache ache both times I tried it.
