What does a complete vitamin supplement consist of?
A complete vitamin and mineral supplement will consist of 100% or more of the RDIs (Reference Daily Intake) recommended on all vitamins and minerals. (The supplement usually says “Complete” or “A-Zinc” on the label. Make sure you check the RDIs on the label.) You should take at least 100-200% of the RDIs after surgery. Excessive amounts are wasted. I will provide you with a copy of the recommended amounts of vitamins upon request and have it available at the monthly support group meetings.
