In reading through the topics, I see some posts talking about supplements, in addition to antibiotics, and I am wondering what everyone takes and how it works for you.
I apologize if this is a stupid question, I'm just trying to soak up all the information I can.
The only thing I have ever taken is a multivitamin, which made my stomach upset, so I stopped. I seem to have a really sensitive stomach.
If there's anything you recommend, please let me know.

Supplements are fairly individual and often change beyond the basic vitamins and minerals. Testing of some sort never hurts. This is what I found works for me at the moment:
NAC (n-acetyl-cysteine) PaleoCleanse (liver support PaleoMeal (whey protein) Lipid formula Energen C Magnesium Potassium Vitamin K Vitamin D Vitamin E Vitamin A Kelp tablets Copper Chlorella CoQ10 Reservatrol Lecithin Sea salt

Hi Lisa, how do you third party test them, or is that on the bottle? I've never taken them before, so I don't know.

The Nordic Natural Brand have been tested for heavy metals, thats why my doctor recommended them. He is a homeopath and is against all heavy metals in our diet such as eating tuna fish and salmon.
Exceptional Purity Levels - Purity is a significant concern among fish oil consumers Nordic Naturals' raw material is harvested from some of the cleanest waters in the world, and is tested by independent laboratories for heavy metals and over 210 other environmental contaminants.

Lisi pretty much answered and has mentioned a good brand. It just means that the company that makes the product hires another company or lab not associated with their company to test there oils to make sure there is no Mercury in it. I think it is usually on the label or box it comes in. But most LLMDS will suggest a brand that they trust.

Nordic Natural makes a fish oil in liquid form which is the most economical way to go. I take 2 teaspoons of it a day and it does not taste as bad as one would think.
It has lemon flavoring and if you can choke down Mepron it tastes way better.
