What supplements do you take daily?

[lliella]

Been researching on the internet about various supplements. so wondering what you all are taking on a daily basis?

i'm currently taking Rainbow Light Women's One, Omega 3 fish oil, green tea extract and cranberry (i usually have recurrent uti)

[Libby Pritchett]

I take a One A Day Women's Vitamin and a Calcium/Vitamin D supplement (my mom has severe osteoporosis). Gotta keep those bone healthy!

[Tracie Stroud]

We take quite a few. I personally take a prenatal (still breastfeeding), Vit D, Vit C, greens, Udo's Omega 3-6-9 blend, and kelp.

[Tracie Stroud]

Oh and I also take tons of cranberry when I'm having kidney stones, which is quite a bit lately. Pregnancy is NOT healthy for me. I had stones with every pregnancy and this one was the worst.

I only take liquid vitamins... some of those fillers in some companies pill versions just scare me... you might as well eat a paint can! Also liquid absorbs faster and more complete than a pill... okay, I'm off my soap box about my dislike of pill form vitamins...

My house is HUGE in taking vitamins... So I take Vibe, transesveratrol, Omega3, Vitamin D, and calcium...

Kiddo takes the kid versions of Vibe and VitD3... and my hubby also takes a joint supplement (family history of bad joints).

[mariewilcox]

I take:

Sublingual B12 (because I'm a lifelong vegetarian).
Fish oil for the cardiovascular benefits (because I don't eat fish to get the benefit).
Calcium (because I'm way over 40 and even though I eat dairy I'm old and need it - I've lost 3/4 of an inch *sigh*)
D3 (I'm vitamin D deficient)
PreserVision (because every woman on both sides of my family has macular degeneration).

I don't take a multivite because I eat a very well rounded diet of colorful fruits and veggies every day and my physicians have always told me a multivite would be overkill - LOL.

[scrapmonkey]

I take a multivitamin - currently Maxine by MaxiSorb. My multivitamin has to have at least a good B-series source, but I don't worry about calcium because I usually get it through dairy sources.

[lauren grier]

i'm off everything i was taking before (bc of my current meds)
but i took, garlic, flax, cranberry, b complex (was vegan), and something else im forgetting..


now i just take vit d because im deficient.. i was also b deficient which is crazy

[emmasmommy]

i take a multi, calcium and vit d. i would like to start taking fish oil, but keep forgetting to pick it up...

[heathergw]

I take a prenatal, vit b complex and baby aspirin

I want to try liquid. Last time I tried the Women's One a Day I had horrible tummy issues and it wasn't worth it. I do need to get back on iron. I've been tracking my food out of curiosity and I see that I usually get only 50%-65% of my iron a day, eek!

[MommaTrish]

None... I should but all vitamins, no matter the way they get into you make me sick. I'm also supposed to take iron supplements but those make me extremely sick.

[digideb]

I take a prenatal, vitamin C, acidophilus, B1 & B12 (both B's are fat soluable instead of water soluable)

[hollyxann]

I take a prenatal.

I need to start taking my Vit D again, and I'd like to take Green tea and an Omega 3.

Suggestions?

[Stacey42]

I take a prenatal vitamin, even though I have absolutely no intention of having any more kids, but it does wonderful things for my hair.

I also take acidophilus pills.

[sprauncey1]

We take JuicePlus vitamins. It is all made from plants and stuff and they have a gummy version for the kiddos. Its the only way I can get them to get veggies! We love them and there isn't any chemicals/etc in them. No iron specifically, just what is in green leafy vegetables, etc.

[AmyG]

I give Emma-Lynn a gummy vitamin and am thinking of putting my son on the Teen One A Day because he will grow, literally, over night. I am just convinced he needs it haha. Both kids get growing pains in their legs. Gonna take a look at the store for an iron and start there, I am so tired after many hours of sleep and this could be why.

I eat spinach every day. We add it, with tomatoes, to eggs on the weekends and are also using the juicer on weekends. Gotta get those nutrients!

[scrapmommaof3]

has anyone heard of protandim? I am going to start taking it soon. It is pretty much an anti-aging pill with lots of science behind it. I thought I would give it a try.

[lliella]

forgot to mention that i also take calcium citrate (with magnesium and vit D)
didn't know vit. D is important?

i'm looking into probiotics with acidophilus. i'm hesitant to try them because there was a test where they tested several acidophilus supplements and found that most are not acidophilus and/or already dead. Deb and Stacey, what brand acidophilus do you take?

julie, i've never heard of protandim?

[littlekiwi]

multi vitamin
vitamin d
iron plus a whole host of others (my bedside drawer is full)

[Kara]

A regular multi
Calcium + D
Fish oil when I think of it.

protandim is not sold in stores. I heard about it through a friend that sells it. You can google it and find several videos and research about it. They did shows about it on nightline and other major networks. I am not selling it, but I just ordered my first bottle. I hope it gives me more energy. We'll see.

If I'm on an antibiotic, I take this from GNC. But, for every day, I take Origin from Target.

[NeverendingJen]

Just prenatals since we are TTC.
