I take a multivitamin, calcium w/ vitamin D (Oscal), an iron tablet and fish oil supplements for the omega 3.

I take women's One-a-day, and those vitamin d gummies for adults. I know I'm low in vitamin D when I'm not outside regularly (as per blood test by my doctor).

To be super accurate, you might want to get a check up and some blood work to see what your body needs specifically.

A lot of the foods in this app don't have accurate vitamin or mineral counts so I completely ignore them in this program and just take a daily multivitamin and just recently started taking a fish oil omega 3 pill daily now.

This is going to sound funny but I attended a 3 hour nutrition class today as a prereq for gastric bypass. The recommened dose and so that we don't have very expensive urine, take 1 twice daily and that goes for the children's whatever, as long as it states complete.

I take a multivitamin to cover my bases. Any of the big brands should have pretty decent quality control.

If you're concerned about Calcium, you may want a separate supplement for that and it should contain vitamin D.

I also take a Krill Oil supplement for Omega 3s.

Someone else already mentioned this, but MFP doesn't do a great job of tracking a lot of vitamins and trace minerals simply because they aren't required on food labels. This site has very thorough nutrition data if you're interested in getting better info on vitamin and mineral content ( I use this one for finding nutrition info on produce ): http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2725/2
