I apologize if this is a repeat post. I tried to search through old posts but couldn't find what I was looking for.
This question is for the ladies...what kind of vitamins/supplements do you take and how much? I currently take a multi vitamin, omega 3 and calcium. I've heard that calcium helps with weight loss but I also take it because breast cancer runs in my family.
Thanks!!

I take a women's multi vitamin, 2000mg of Vitamin D and I am going to start also taking Glucomanan. Glucomanan - I got some information about it helping with feeling full. I'll let you know if I do well with it starting it tomorrow. It was on Dr. Oz about being the BEST weight control supplement.
Good luck!

Usana Vitamins & Minerals, and their fish oil. It's toxin free and USP grade to it's 100% of what is says... your body absorbs it more than other vitamins/minerals.

Will do! I have a lot of faith in it being that Dr/ Oz recommends it and my Dr. did also.0 -
When I remember I take fish oil pills and psyllium husk pills.0

I take a daily multi and a glucosamine supplement. I used to take a calcium supplement, but I found that pushed me to 200-300% my daily value of calcium. Apparently, I am very good at getting my calcium from food (Go CHEESE!). In the winter, I take a vitamin D3 supplement. I don't take that one in the spring/summer/fall because I spend tons of time outdoors and get plenty of D naturally. I also do a psyllium husk (fiber) supplement most days.0

So many great responses! Thank you!!
So I should be taking a Vitamin D with my calicum? I don't get much calcium from dairy...I'm lactose intolerent.0 -
Women's One a Day and Proactol (not a supplement but a fat binder)
Thinking about a Green Tea pill... any suggestions on what kind?0 -
I take a multivitamin similar to Centrum, 400 IU of Vitamin E for my hair, and 300mg of B6 which helps with water retention every day.0
