My Supplement Protocol

I have mentioned before that I take quite a few nutritional supplements in addition to diet changes to support my endo and personal health concerns, and have recently added a few with the help of the ND.
Here is what I take everyday. It seems like a lot, but I believe that nutrition and supplementation is why I went from 18 months to 4.5 years between laparoscopies.

My personal routine:

B complex 50mg 2x a day
CLA 1000mg 3x a day
Prenatal vitamin, 1/2 with breakfast, 1/2 with dinner (taking the whole thing at once makes me nauseated)
Organic cold pressed flax oil, 2000mg 3x a day
Organic cold pressed evening primrose oil 1500mg 3x a day
Calcium and Magnesium 400mg 1x day
Vegetarian digestive enzyme 1 before every meal
High quality probiotic 3 capsules in the morning
Estrosense 2 tablets 2x a day
Chlorella 3 tablets 2x a day
Traumeel oral drops, 15 drops 3x a day in water
Tissue salts Comb N, up to 6 tablets daily, as needed
Red raspberry leaf tea, especially during the luteal phase and menstrually.

In terms of nutrition, I do quite a bit there as well. I am a vegetarian, and try to have as much organic food as possible. I avoid wheat, sugar, alcohol, trans fatty acids, rancid or heated poly unsaturated fats and try to keep dairy and soy intake to a minimum. I make sure to eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, and at least dark leafy green vegetable a day. I use organic, first cold pressing oils, and store them in dark glass bottles away from heat and light. Organic raw nuts and seeds or avocado should also be consumed daily in moderation. Only whole grains should be consumed, whole sprouted naturally leavened breads are the best choice if you must have bread. Otherwise stick with brown rice, quinoa, spelt, kamut, oats, barley and rye. Avoid wheat and all processed flours and yeasts. If you must eat meat, make sure it is in moderation and organic, free range and cage free. make sure the animals are eating their natural foods, not a commercial grain feed or "livestock feed". Legumes, nuts, seeds, chlorella, and small amounts of soy or dairy can be combined with whole grains and produce for complete proteins.

Only 3 weeks left to go until surgery...
