    My doctor did some lab work to see if I needed any vitamin supplements. I have a prescription for vitamin D because my levels were so low. Because my diet is pretty high in protein, I take an over the counter fiber supplement that also has calcium (because I don't really like milk very much). The fiber capsules are sort of difficult to swallow. However, whether it is the diet or the vitamin D or both, I feel awesome.

    I take vitamin D and iron supplements on the advice of my doctor, plus I take fish oil and a multivitamin. I'm taking one of those joint supplements just until the bottle is empty because my wife bought it for herself and didn't want to take them any more. The iron really helps because I was iron deficient and thus felt sluggish much of the time. As far as the fish oil, ask me again in 40 years if that did any good :-)

    Vitamin B 12, it was prescribed by my doctor. Ever since I take it, I am more relaxed and not stressed out because of every little thing. Good for the nerves.

    I used to be a supplement junkie. Now I only take a pre-natal, Vit D, and occasional Apex protein powder or meal replacement. I'm thinking about starting up 5HT on the advice of my doc. I need to do more research though.

    I use Pea Protein Powder after heavy workouts, Cytomax after running, and take Vitamin D and Iron as supplements. Since I'm vegan, I have my blood tested every few months to ensure I'm healthy on all levels. I get most everything from my plant-based diet, but because I run six days a week (one to two long runs) I like the extra insurance. The supplements are just that - supplemental to my diet.

    I take Folic Acid, or a Prenatal vitamin. (the prenatal makes me feel sick so eh I don't take it as much as I should) I hear taking it at night helps but I always forget :grumble:

    i just started taking the GNC Ultra Mega Women's vitamin. It doesn't make me sick or anything, but the serving is 2 huge pills, so that's kinda annoying.

    Most of my vitamins and minerals are covered by my diet, except for calcium. I am lactose intolerant, so I rarely eat any dairy, and I usually only get about 30% of my daily allowance from other sources. So, I take calcium + mag + d.

    I don't feel any different since I started it, but osteoporosis runs heavily in my family, so I'm hoping that this plus the weight-bearing exercise will really pay off in the long run.

    I suppose whey protein is technically a supplement, too. I like to use it as a snack. :smile:

    I take Women's One A Day - active mind and body - I feel drained if I don't take it.

    My doctor told me to take Vitamin D3. Not sure if I feel any different, but I don't feel tired in the afternoons anymore. Not sure if that is the vitamin or something else. I like it either way.

    I have used the Animal Cuts before, love them, thinking of cycling this with my hydroburn. Also glad I'm not the only one that the Hydroxycut affected, I'd get heart palpitations, feel really sick. Will never recommend them to anyone.

    A very old thread, but I found it interesting. I'm looking for what mfp uses for 100% calcium and Vitamin D. According to blood tests last week, my calcium is at max and has been over in the past year, without supplements. My D is about 30. I take supplements, but will double them for a while.
