I take B-Complex for energy. Melatonin to sleep, and St Johns Wart for mood. I buy these 3 in bulk and can't live without them. I'm thinking about adding a multivitamin, but they usually just upset my stomach and make my pee glow in the dark! Have you found a mulit that isn't so nauseating? What other vitamins do you take and why? Any you highly reccomend and couldn't live without?
Don't forget to tell me WHY you take that specific vitamin and what each vitamin does for the body. For instance .....melatonin is a sleep aid. I dont know what fish oil or Omega 3 does. Does it make you sleepy or energized? Does it help fight off colds like Echinacea? I won't know if I should add them to my regimin if I don't know what they do! I respect those that say you get what you need from food. But Melatonin puts me out like a light within 20 minutes. What can I eat that's going to do that? There is real, tangible, immediate effect from the ones I use. I love them. And reccomend them to everyone.
Multivitamin w/iron
B-complex
Calcium
The B-Complex and Calcium have totally changed my life. Really. I used to go crazy for 2 weeks before my period because my PMS was so bad. Now I don't even know when I'm supposed to start my period unless I look at a calendar. Fabulous!
I get sick with 'adult' vitamins... I take 2 of my kids vitamins every day :)
Multi vitamin, probiotic and some extra vitamin D
None. If you eat a decent diet, you shouldn't need to supplement vitamins.
Tumeric,folic acid ( abnormal pap smears),B complex,baby Asprin( to many stroke victims in family)Vit D 3,
Magnesium, Calcium, but I'm so bad taking them, most of the time I will forget.
K48 Plus which is an omega 3 supplement that comes from Krill oil instead of fish oil
I prefer to get my vitamins from eating food but I do supplement with a Centrum womens' in case there is a deficiency.
I take Oligo Multivitamin & Calcium supplements. I love them. The best way to take any vitamin is with food or just after you have eaten. Oligo is formulated for maxium absorption and reduces free-radicals in your body so even if you get a name brands from the store and the numbers look comparable, what you actually absorp from those is a LOT less.
I take them because I know my diet is lacking and they help me not feel so run down.
Hi T.
I don't take any. I think my body should get everything it needs from food,meditation and exercise.
I'm a great believer in mind and body connection and staying as natural as possible.
Thats just me,if it works for you than great.
All the best
B. k
