Supplements

Do you take supplements?
Multivitamins, fish oil, proteins, pre workouts, post workouts etc.

If so do you feel you benefit from using them or are they just a marketing scam?

Multivitamin, fish oil, protein and that's it.

Most other stuff isn't required if your nutrition and rest is right.

I take a supplement called Juice Plus. Yes....I benefit from it.

I do take supplements, and they seem to help me.

I am 45, and I do have some health issues.....I have hypoparathyroidism, so my body doesn't use calcium correctly. In my case, I need lots of extra calcium. I take calcium citrate to help. I also take vitamin d, my doc told me I was deficient. Within 30 days of getting my vitamin d levels up I noticed that the depression that had been strugglingg with had simply disapated. Doc also told me I was iron deficient....so I take that too. Since I am in weight loss mode, I now take a multivitamin as well.

My doctor tells me to take the following:
Vitamin D3 - 2000 IU/2x a day (Vitamin D deficiency)
65 mg Iron Supplement/2x daily (Iron-deficiency anemia)
MultiVitamin

Usually take it in the morning after breakfast and in the evening. I'll have to wait until the next blood test to get rid of the D3 and iron supplement. I also take Fish oil.

I take CoQ10 and a joint support supplement (I'm old!)-- Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM along with B-Complex. If you're eating well, you should be getting your vitamins and trace nutrients from your diet.
