Just a clarification question on vitamins
I've read a number of posts recently about how many vitamins everyone is taking.
I take 1 multi, 2 Vit D at 1000@ and 1 B12 sub lingual. No calcium (stopped by my cardiologist and others but it was only 1 pill). Labs were great 30 days ago. I still have to do 5 other Rx but but I'm just trying to understand the vitamin problem.
What is everyone taking that makes it so cumbersome?

I am pre-op still but my doctor prescribed until surgery:
5 grams of fiber 2x a day (this was bad until I discovered gummies-I was taking 20 pills to get that amount lol)
a multivitamin 2x a day
600mg calcium 2x daily
CoQ10 50mg 2x day
Omega 3 1x day
and I have to take 2 vitamin D supplements daily because I have low vitamin D levels

I take:
2 calcium citrate with magnesium twice daily
1 b complex daily
1 b12 daily
1 d3 daily
1 mutivitamin daily
1 biotin daily
1 iron at some other point midday
1 colace twice daily (had to restart after a traumatic constipation episode)
1 nexium daily
1 blood pressure pill daily
300mg ursodiol twice daily (for the first six months or so)
And I'm thinking of adding in:
coQ10 capsules
omega 3 fish oil (for mood elevation reasons)
It sounds like a lot, but for me it's ok... I'm used to taking lots of pills, though they all used to be RX for problems... ie: high cholesterol, type II diabetes... so the ones I'm taking now are a pleasure compared to that!
