Do you take vitamin supplements?

[Swede]

I've been taking a multivitamin for awhile,kinda glad with all the news about vitamin D.

[flvegan]

1. I take vitamins and supplements.

Religiously.

[motely36]

2. I take a multi and a C every day

:hi:

[sniffa]

3. No way. They cause autism.

[Tektonik]

10. killing me

:rofl:

[bif]

4. Multi, E, fish oil and iron.

Every day.

[auntAgonist]

5. Yes religiously. If I didn't I could become very ill, very quickly.

[azmouse]

6. Yep.

Multivitamin, calcium, glucosamine, and chromium.

[pokerfan]

7. Once a day

The official multivitamin of MLB!

[Dangerously Amused]

8. Yes, multi vitamin/mineral complex.

And a few other supplements depending on the issue being addressed.

[LaraMN]

9. I take an iron supplement and I eat the kids' gummy vitamins.

:D

[no name no slogan]

11. Yup. A multi, a calcium supplement and fish oil for the omega-3s

I'm a walking talking pill machine.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

12. Oh yes

I take C and D for my immune system (and I haven't had a cold all winter, nya-nya-nya-nya-nya), and a B combo and mineral combo for my moods. When I DON'T take the latter is when I notice the effect on my moods.

[rcrush]

13. I chew a vitamin c tab when I toke.

It works lol.

[laylah]

14. I take garlic,

milkthistle, B12 and an "adult" multi.

[seemunkee]

15. Fish oil and Turmeric

That is all.

[LeftyMom]

16. No.

I have a few but I never remember to take them, which is just fine because I eat well and don't really need to add anything.

[lukasahero]

17. Way more than I want to these days

Mega multi vitamin
Sublingual b-12
B-complex
Fish oil
Calcium with vit D
Vitamin D
Calcium complex
Fiber supplement
L-Tyrosine

I think that's it (for now). Obviously dealing with some health issues here....

Nope, just thought of more:
St. John's Wort
Adreset (adrenal support)
Pro-biotics
Oh hell, that's enough even if I think of more. Grumble grumble...

[applegrove]

18. I'm taking vitamins as I try and loose weight. Specially Vitamin C with flavanoids (which I have to

buy tomorrow) and a multivitamin for weight loss (which so far has done nothing as far as I can tell). But the multivitamin has 1000 Vitamin D in it so I'll keep taking it.

[supernova]

19. Multi-Vitamin plus 1000 mg calcium w/ 1000 IU Vit D

So I get extra D, but not as much as some.

[Deja Q]

20. I usually purchase them.

Either way, I still forget to take them. B12 is essential.

[Raffi Ella]

21. yes! every morning with my coffee

A multi, vitamin C, E, Calcium and Omega's. I've been reading about vitamin D too and I'm thinking about taking it but I'm outside a lot so I'm not sure I need it.

[pokerfan]

23. since I discovered that caffeine can interfere with vitamin absorption

I started taking my vitamins in the evening. Giving up my morning coffee is not an option.

[Raffi Ella]

37. ah well,

I drink coffee morning noon and night so...lol.

[alarimer]

22. No. there is no scientific evidence they are necessary.

Except for people who have an actual vitamin deficiency. Plus they are not regulated by the FDA for safety and efficacy; there is no proof that what they say is in the bottle is actually in the bottle.

[BuddhaGirl]

24. I wonder why so many doctors recommend them, then

We are lucky here in the states where you don't need a prescription for Vitamin C in excess of 500mg! :-)

[alarimer]

41. Mine does too but I ignore him.

They don't always read the latest studies. Those studies though are hard to evaluate because they usually just follow people over a period of years but do not take into account they vitamins that people get from food, naturally. So maybe the just is still out. I simply do not trust the manufacturers of these vitamins to tell me what is actually in the bottle.

[BuddhaGirl]

25. yes, every day

I take:

multivitamin
coQ10
fish oil
vision formula
turmeric
hyaluronic acid
liver formula
n-acetyl cysteine
digestive enzymes

occasionally I take GABA and 5-HTP for sleep

[Saboburns]

26. Yeah Buddy

Glutamine
creatine
Whey protein
Arginine
BCAA's
Beta Alanine
Fish oil
Multi Vitamin
B12

[harmonicon]

27. yes, and I feel better when I do

once I've been taking them for awhile, I really notice when I skip a day.

[AlCzervik]

28. just an iron supplement, even when i was 90 pounds heavier i was still anemic.

[Bertha Venation]

29. Yes. Multi-Vite plus Vitamin E.

As well as glucosamine-chondroitin.

Don't knowa about Vitamin D, though.

[hedgehog]

30. Yes, and I even give a salmon oil capsule to the two dogs.

They come running as soon as I rattle the pill jar!

[AwakeAtLast]

31. I try

I do well for awhile, then forget, then get back on the wagon.

[leftyclimber]

32. Yes.

I take a multivitamin that is completely overloaded with the various vitamin Bs. It helps immensely with my anxiety, and makes my pee a rather vibrant yellow, to boot.

[yellowdogintexas]

33. multi, D, Calcium, fish oil, zinc, Glucosamine and MSM. nt

[Tuesday Afternoon]

34. yes. nt

[Left Is Write]

35. Multi-vitamin, calcium, and vitamin D.

[DeepBlueC]

36. For me, an absolute necessity

I need something to waste money on now that I've stopped smoking and drinking and tanning.

[NJmaverick]

38. Yes I take a multi vitamin plus various suppliments for my bad knees

The important thing to remember is that vitamins are suppliments, not replacements, for good nutrition.

[RebelOne]

39. Yes, when I can remember to take them.

[nickinSTL]

40. yep...fish oil and a multivitamin

multivitamin with minerals...though I had to switch to a men's formula rather than the general multivitamin, as my iron was getting too high.

The fish oil is actually prescribed by my doc for my cholesterol.

[bigwillq]

42. No.

But I do drink a lot of vitamin water. It seems like it helps.

[hippywife]

43. No.

They are a waste of money because there's no proof they do any good. Most of them get pissed away...literally.

Except for maybe any gain that can be attributed to a placebo effect, they are the biggest scam going.

[PBS Poll-435]

44. Yes and a lot of other supplements

Flax
Fish Oil
CoEnzyme Q10
B-100 extended release
Vitamin C - 1000 Mg
Vitamin E - 500 Mg
Calcium Citrate

I think that is it...:shrug:

[blue_onyx]

45. I take a multivitamin and 2 calciums w/ vitamin D

[Quantess]

46. every morning, vitamin C and Calcium, and usually a multivitamin around noon or so.

I overload on Calcium the last 2 weeks of my menstrual cycle, to prevent cramps. It works.

[PeaceNikki]

47. I mega-dose on Vitamin C

... about 4000 mg/day

Plus:
Calcium with Vitamin D
Omega 3
Red Yeast Rice
Plant Sterols (Cholest-Off)
and a Multi-vitamin

Trying to lower my cholesterol. I'll let you know if it works in about 60 days.
