in Food and Nutrition
Mostly I'm curious. Just trying to get an idea of what other people like to take, and if there's anything I may want to add. I'm big on vitamins.

I'm currently taking:
Multivitamin (GNC Ultra Mega Active for women)
Fish Oil (Also GNC)
Magnesium
Folic Acid
Flaxseed Oil (it was on sale)
Probiotic
1 oz Apple Cider Vinegar (with plenty of water)

I split them up half in the morning and half before dinner. I heard it helps your body absorb them if you don't take everything all at once.

    Used to take:

    Bulk powders Complete Multivit
    Thermo (with those rapsberry ketones, green tea and all the other crap that magically cures everything)
    Non caf thermo
    Flax Seed Oil / High strength omega 3
    CLA
    BLAH BLAH

    Now:
    Simple multivit


    Difference? None.

    Pro biotic pastilles called Bimuno Ibaid for IBS
    Peppermint oil capsules from Boots for IBS
    Garcinia Cambogia, for energy and weight loss - yes, I love it, no I don't feel I am wasting my money, I have my reasons, please don't waste your precious time and energy hating on me/it/the world keyboard warriors!

    And one that I just started - Agnus Castus (Also known as Vitex) hopefully to help with my PCOS.

    B complex and iron blend (I'm deficient in iron and I don't eat meat often) and fish oil (hypertriglycemia). So they're more like a treatment than a supplement.

    Tonalin CLA and vitamin D. Although I am considering taking a generic multi-vitamin. Curious to know people's thoughts on CLA. I really don't think it works and isn't cheap!

    Calcium with Vitamin D
    Ginger
    Fish Oil

    I used to take more stuff, but think it's a waste of money. Maybe Vitamin D, but my blood tests were all normal in June.

    I am nursing and about to start TTC our second, while losing weight (fun!)

    I take

    Garden of Life RAW prenatal multi
    New Chapter Organics Wholemega Prenatal (Alternate with Garden of Life Ocean's Mom, because Wholemega is expensive)
    Vitamin D3 (Up&Up) 3000 IU
    Calcium Citrate (Citrical Plus) with Magnesium
    Magnesium Citrate

    And I'm about to add Metamucil...because I apparently don't eat nearly enough fiber.
    AndLife Extension Whey Protein powder (from grass fed cows) But is that really more a food?

    If you eat a good diet, have no health problems, and aren't a nursing mother, almost all vitamins are a waste of time and money. The science behind them -- ALL of them -- is shaky and at best contradictory.

    For every peer-reviewed article you can show me about BCAAs, fish oil, and multivitamins, I can either tear apart the methodology, or show you a peer-reviewed article showing the opposite.

    The one exception is vitamin D. I live in Las Vegas, where people are almost always inside and never see the sun. So vitamin D supplementation is a good idea.

    (It's pretty fascinating to see guys who are very scientific in their workouts and laugh at "broscience" when it comes to lifting take a handful of fish oil, magnesium, and other pointless crap every day, just because some guy getting paid to endorse it told them to.)
