Hello Doctor,
I’m looking to start a vitamin regimen and would appreciate your guidance. I’m a 29-year-old man, approximately 6'3" and 200 lbs. I plan to take a "One A Day" men's multivitamin, 25 mg of zinc, "Sports Research" Omega-3 fish oil (triple strength at 1250 mg), and an iMATCHME Vitamin B complex capsule. I want to ensure that I’m not exceeding any safe limits with these vitamins and potentially harming my health.
Additionally, I use protein powder and creatine, and I work overnight shifts. Can you advise me on whether these supplements are safe to take together and if I should be cautious about any specific interactions or excess intake?
Hello
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Based on the supplements you mentioned the "One A Day" men's multivitamin, 25 mg of zinc, the triple-strength Omega-3 fish oil, and the Vitamin B complex capsule—there shouldn't be any major issues with taking them together. However, to ensure that you are meeting your specific nutritional needs and not exceeding safe levels, I recommend considering a blood test.
This can help identify any deficiencies and provide a clearer picture of what your body needs. In addition, you can safely continue using protein powder and creatine alongside these supplements. Just be mindful of your overall intake, especially since you're working overnight shifts, which can impact your nutritional needs.
Thanks
