I see a lot of people on here are taking supplements or vitamins of some kind. Right now, I take nothing. I am a 35 year old woman and should probably be taking something I'm sure. Any suggestions out there? Anything to increase metabolism/fat burn? What's the deal with flax seed...see that all over as well!

I'm still a beginner with supplements and vitamins, but all the rage is fish oil. I just started taking 1 GNC Triple Strength a day. I also take a multivitamin daily.0

Flax Seed Oil is a healthy omega. I take it at night to deter hot flashes...you are not at that stage of life yet. I take that in the evening with calcium+D. I take a multi (gummy:) a few times a week. I like the gummy as I don't feel nauseous after I take them. Sometimes a multi makes me feel yucky. I also take fish oil and extra Bs with an aspirin in the afternoon when I think of it....Maybe I need to take something to help me think of it....more often!
You are probably safe just to take a muliti for women. Hit the shelves at Walgreens and Walmart to find one that serves your age well. We have different needs during different times of our lives. Good luck!0 -
Vitamins are very important, IMO! Do some research on the best kind for your specific needs. I perfer vitamins with and Oligo-fructose complex. It helps your body to absorb the vitamins.0

I take cayenne as a metabolism booster. I also take fish oil, coconut oil, multi vitamin, B complex, and vitamin E.0
