Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Since we are discussing grocery budgets elsewhere, I started wondering how much you spend on vitamins and supplements for your family. I always have an anxiety attack when I get my total at the checkout at the Vitamin Shoppe!

So, what do you spend? What products are essential? In general I buy whole food vitamins, Vitamin C, Echinacea, and I have just started buying chewable DHA. For myself, I also get Flax Seed capsules. Overkill? Or not enough?

The only supplement we really use regularly is cod liver oil. If we remembered to take it every day it would set us back about $18/month, I believe. But absolutely every nutritional thing we read touts the health benefits of clo. It's important to get high-quality clo so we order it online. Otherwise we try to get our vitamins from food.    

I also take a couple other things when I'm pregnant but that's probably more like an additional $10/month. I can't remember too well.
