I was recently diagnosed enemic so I take Ferrosequels and Vitamin C (doc says you need vitamin C for the Iron to absorb) I don't take a multi vitamin, but it sounds like I probably should.0

I take 500 mcg of Vitamin B-12, and 5000 iu of Vitamin D because my Dr. told me to after my last blood test, and I also take a generic multi vitamin.0

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!

Yes let us know about the Glucomanan I have heard a lot about it but haven't tried it yet
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 -

I can't seem to make myself stay on a regular vitamin/mineral schedule, but it turns out I AM willing/able to remember to chomp on one of my son's chewables every night before bed. Plus, I usually have a couple Viactive chewable Calcium/Vitamin D/Vitamin K jobbers each day.
I HAVE fish oil, niacin, and plant sterols/stanols, but I can't seem to remember to take them. Go figure.
Edited to say that I used to take baby aspirin each day, but since I landed on Toprol XL, I'm iffy about taking an anticoagulant/NSAID at the same time.

none, but i do eat loads of veg and fruit
Nothing to do with your post, but your dog reminds me of mine--she's a Labrador Husky (a Canadian sled dog, not a hybrid of labs and huskies).
That's all! Just wanted to say I like your dog!

"Morning pill box" consists of:
Vitamin C (to keep my immune system boosted),
Vitamin B12 (trial phase - was severely deficient in May - go back for more blood work next month - more than likely will be put on B12 injections)
Detrol LA (not a supplement - necessary though )
Mobic (again, not a supplement, but sports doc prescribed low dose to keep knees healthy )
"Evening pill box" consists of:
Multi-vitamin (sits in stomach better at night)
Iodine (to help improve circulation issues in extremities)
Probiotic
When I keep them organized like this, I am sure not to forget to take them.
Stay Healthy!0 -
