    B12 - 5,000 mcg

    Without it, I am a lethargic slug who can't even think straight.

    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.)

    Optimum Nutrition Opti-Men multivitamin
    ON fish oil
    ON BCAA (on days I work out, 2 pills pre and 2 post workout)
    ON Whey protein
    ON platinum tri-celle casein (days I work out before bed)

    If they weren't a private company, I would definitely own a ton of their stock lol

    Magnesium
    Potassium chloride

    I was having terrible leg cramps from being low on potassium so now I make my own Gatorade with it.

    I've been having problems with not enough potassium lately, but I can't seem to find any at stores. Is it a prescription thing?

    I take one(1) multivitamin, rather than their recommended two(2). Optimum Nutrition Women's. I also take two(2) probiotics, two(2) fish oil capsules and 1-150mg daily. Not really a supplement, but necessary!

    Oh and protein powder.

    Perfectil hair skin and nails, the super skin version, when I remember. Organic flaxseed oil capsules, Vit D3 sublingual spray. and occasionally spirulina in my smoothies, it makes me pee like crazy, excellent for detoxing and bloat :)
