AquAdek vs. SourceCF

Thank you all for your replies!!!

I'm kind of leaning towards SourceCF because I can get nearly 2 bottles for the price of 1 AquAdek.

My vitamin levels were fine in November/December 2008. However, I *think* I might have a Vitamin K deficiency now because I have quite a few bruises on my arms and legs. Every time I bump myself or not, I'm finding new bruises. This started BEFORE I got Diesel, my 1-year-old boxer. Of course it is even worse now. I'm actually embrassed to show my forearms...My close neighbor across the street even questioned my arms...

I also am wondering if the possible vitamin K deficiency is adding fuel to the fire with my near daily nosebleeds...

My levels were fine on the Perfect Prenatal for 3.5 - 4 years; however, I looked at the label and saw that there wasn't much K in them at all...Perhaps my Vitamin K needs have changed...

I probably would have stayed on the prenatals because I really liked them but not now with all this bruising...I'm sure I need to change the vitamins for ones that have more vitamin K.

I use the Source CF ABDEK, but still need an additional prescription for Vitamin K....

This is just FYI <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

I do 2.5 mg of Vit K twice a week in addition to my vitamins. Otherwise, I have nosebleeds and bruising, too.
