vitamin supplements ?

[eye6769]

Does anyone take vitamin supplement such as evening primrose oil or cod liver oil ?
Do you have to count them as syns ?

I take supplements which include Evening Primrose oil as I have pains in my hands caused by carpal tunnel (and I worry about my intake to calcium as take very little milk) but I don't syn them. I wonder should I syn them?

I take, a Multivitamin & Mineral tablet, Cod Liver Oil, Evening Primrose Oil and a B6 tablet every day - but I don't syn them, I've never thought about doing it actually. X

I just thought as it is a 'fat' that is should count as a syn ?

Oops....never gave it a thought I'm afraid, I suppose I should be counting a couple of syns for the Cod liver and Evening Primrose Oil.....What do you think?

Will try to find something on website

1 tsp is 2 syns, cod liver oil, but i dont think there is a whole teaspoon in a capsule, but it would soon add up if you were taking a couple plus evening primrose oil or any others

I might start counting 1/2 syn towards my multi with primrose oil. Thanks for raising the issue hun it was something I had never thought of! x

Thank you, I will add ½ a syn I think, there is not only about half a teaspoon in both the evening primrose and cod liver oil I should think.
