    What vitamins or supplements do you take on a daily basis? Just interested! I'll list mine below:

    Women's Multi-Vitamin
    Vitamin D
    Vitamin C
    B12
    B6
    Calcium
    Cranberry Extract
    Blueberry Extract
    Gingko Biloba
    DHA
    Cod Liver Oil
    Women's Probiotic
    Garlic
    Ubiquinol
    Milk Thistle
    Fish, Flax & Borage Oils

    What do you take and/or suggest? For me, this combination was life changing. I was having several health problems, diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder and lots of issues stemming from that, and after being on these vitamins for two-months now, I've noticed a HUGE change in my well being. I'm always interested to know what types of vitamins and supplements helped others! Share your story!

    That is a lot of vitamins :|

    I honestly don't believe taking vitamins is really required unless I come up deficient in something on my blood work.

    I don't take anything besides an iron supplement. I've no health issues (besides anaemia) and eat a varied diet so I've never worried about it.

    Per my doctor's instruction I take a high dose D3 because I'm deficient (per blood test results). That's it.

    I was taking fish oil but I stopped that after my doctor told me it wasn't doing anything special for me, based on how good my last blood panel results were.

    I occasionally take magnesium (when I have musle cramps) and probiotic (when I'm constipated).

    There is such a thing as too much vitamin, especially with vitamin A.

    dr advised that multivitamins just created expensive pee

    however, if you eat nutrient vapid food, I could see taking them

    the only one I took regularly was b complex to improve mood and sleep. then I discovered it made me sleepwalk so no vitamins

    I used to take some fish oil, but now I have this malt extract with cod liver oil and its buterscotch flavour, its really nice.
    I just have my 5-10 a day and forego the multiv.

    I might take a few things for gym, but for specific issues. I mostly do with a banana, creatine , some water and maybe some coffee/ caffeine.

    OP why so many, do you really think you need that many? What about just a balanced diet?

    I have a very balanced diet full of nutrient-dense foods. I don't eat junk, only drink water, etc. I have several health conditions that I suffer from and along the way a few doctors have suggested supplements, and I've also conversed with others who suffer from the same condition and figured out what works best for me.
