What multivitamin do you take?

For active women out there, what supplements do you take?
I am looking for a multivitamin with high iron content for active women.
Thanks!

Hey there! I'm interested in seeing what others use, but I personally use Shakeology - it can be used as a meal replacement shake or a pre- or post- work-out supplement! Depending on the flavor, it ranges from 19-33% of your recommended daily intake of iron (chocolate being my favorite with 33%!).

I've been using this product with exercising 4-6 times/week and it really helps with energy too, without being too loaded in calories (130-160/serving).

I used to be quite concerned with my iron too, as I donate blood and iron is what they measure. A few times I was so low that I just barely made the cut-off!

Any reason you're specifically looking at something high in iron?

Thanks for response. I am anemic and have low iron..hate iron supplements and have hard time getting enough iron from my diet. Iron supplements are very hard on my stomach. I have been taking Stamina from Jamieson and tolerating it well, but was wondering if there are other options out there..

Nobody else takes supplements?

Hopefully you see some more responses soon! Have you looked at just the regular "One-A-Day" multi-vitamins? There are women-specific ones that have additional iron in them I'm pretty sure.

I take Centrum as recommended by my doctor.

I take a vegetarian multiple (not vegetarian). It is made by Schiff. It has 100% of your daily iron in 2 pills.

Well, I definitely do not do this and most of the time it is beachbody coaches trying to promote a product.

Anyway, I try to get all that I need through food, but I do take a women's multivitamin.

I take Centrum Silver Chewables *LOL* along with Slo-Mag 64 mg (but the Slo-Mag is doctor ordered) and Caltrate with D and occasionally I'll pop a couple of D vitamins.

I take digestive enzymes to help me digest food better, zinc and a supplement to help my liver function even better. I don't have any health issues, these are just supplements suggested by a medical practitioner based on some test results.

I don't take a multivitamin as I already get my nutrients from the foods I eat.

I take one supplement, but its zinc picolinate for my skin! Sorry that's not really helpful. 50 mg every other day from NOW foods.

I take one called "Alive" made by Nature's Way. There are a few different formulations out there, but the one for women does have the full RDA of iron in it. It's a little more expensive than your normal every day multi, but it feels worth it to me as I get borderline anemic at times too. Hope that helps!

Couple women I know at the gym take Opti-Women from Optimum. They seem to like it.
