I like metagenics although it is practitioner prescribed. I suggest you go to your health food shop and ask for the best they have. I hope that helps.

I was just wondering what brand/type of multi-vitamin do you recommend?

Thanks,

Krystle do a search in the sidebar of the site. Search ‘the pill.’ There is one particular post you might like called “how to stop taking the pill and not go crazy or get acne” x

Thanks for your reply Jo. As a Dr of Chinese Medicine I can truthfully say I would never prescribe a huge host of products if somebody didn’t need it. The only reason they might be prescribed medicines is if they require them to make the necessary changes. One of the main ways you might know requires treatment is if you lack a regular period, or have a very painful period. These are two indicating factors of fertility imbalances that definitely need treating especially post pill use. If you feel healthy – you are the best judge of that. I would suggest to any patient coming off the pill to be taking a quality practitioner grade multivitamin for their therapeutic affects as outline in the post.
If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to email me.

I’ve just gone off the pill for a 6 month rest before hubby and I want to try to start a family. I’ve started taking conceive-well Gold – a Blackmores product. I’m thinking now that I’ve read your posts on the Pill and on Multi-vitamins that I could do more – but my budget is kind of limited as we’ve got a mortgage. I’m worried if I go and see a Chinese Medicine practitioner and get told to take a bunch of things it could rack up to hundreds of dollars and I feel pretty healthy. How do you know if you need to see a practitioner, and what practitioners are not just trying to sell you stuff?

Thanks for your blog – great inspiration and info 🙂
