What supplements does everyone take?
Permalink Closed

I had the best vitamin shop when i lived in philly and since the ones here don't seem to be as helpful, i was wondering what supplements everyone takes. currently i take vitamin b complex (for my hair and nails), fish oil, fiber (sometimes), and a multivitamin.

multi, calcium, vitamin C & E, sometime a B complex, sometimes omega complex, glucosamine Condriton, MSM, and fiber with L-glutamine mixed with my protein powder.


I'd love to take CoQ10, but it's so expensive.

i have definitely noticed an improvement (especially in my nails).  i am trying to grow my hair just a little longer and it's probably grown a good six inches in the last year (probably more like 8 mnths).  i have also heard of prenatal vitamins (but i think the bf might freak if he saw those in the medicine cabinet !  it also turns your urine NEON yellow.  i didn't know that when i first took it, and i kinda freaked out!

OMG!!! That's a lot of pills to take! How do you split it up throughout the day?

It is a lot to take, and I am not great about remembering. My hubby helps with that.


I take the multi, glucosamine condriton, MSM before I hop in the shower in the morning. These don't upset my tummy.


The E I take before bed.


The calcium and C I take with breakfast and dinner.


The B and omegas I keep in my desk and take before lunch.


The fiber, L-glutamine, and protein are all powder, so they get mixed up together.

I'm as bad (or as good) as greendiamond...


I take Centrum, SAM-e, vitamin E, vitamin C, green tea, gingko, horse chestnut root, DMAE, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, and... I think that's it... I take them all in the morning - we jokingly call it the breakfast of the future (it's like a plate of pills)


uh - I have shiny hair that grows quickly, but my nails are weak - always have been though...

I take a


multi (it's a whole food supplement, which means it 100% derived from food sources, so it doesn't make you queasy.  the reason some vitamins make you queasy on an empty stomach is b/c your body doesn't recognize them as food.  kind of scary.) (megafood is the brand)


some type of EFA (essential fatty acid), right now i like health from the sun women's oil


calcium (again, a food based one by rainbow light)


bromelain


potassium and magnesuim

I generally get over 100% of my daily intake of vitamins and minerals so I don't take one. I've read it's bad to say, eat a cereal and take a multi because the minerals don't absorb...or something, can't really remember but that's why I don't take one.


I do take protien A LOT. Shakes and bars.
