Vitamins/Supplements Question

rialynn79

Just wondering what kinds of vitamins or supplements people take. The doctor told me a year ago when I started with my new weight loss lifestyle, that I need: multi-vitamin and calcium. I was talking to a girl in the doctors office yesterday and she is taking lots of vitamins. Can you over-do vitamins?

Well your going to laugh but my nutritionist told me to take children's vitamins! I think because they are easier to digest, Soooo I take the gummy ones haha but I also take calcium pills which I've been told is very important for young adults, I hope you feel better. :happy:

Ive been wondering the same thing! I started with one a day energy, but they dont give me energy lol. And I had to up my calcium so i was chewing tums! But its good to take a multivitmin and a vitimin c tablet.

I really like the Trader Joe's Chewable Adult Vitamins. I remember to take those almost daily (mostly because I like the way they taste). They are vegetarian (so I am!) and they don't upset my stomach. I also take Trader Joe's plant based Vitamin D / Magnesium daily. Those are big and gross, but they don't upset my stomach.

I get the CVS brand. Sometimes they have great 2 for 1 sales.

Right now I'm taking a prenatal and a calcium. But for daily vitamins they have a Women's daily vitamin that is similar to One A Day but much less expensive. You can get them in a huge 300 tablet bottle and save the most money.

For calcium I am taking the CVS brand of the one that is similar to Caltrate.

I also got one of those little daily vitamin holders that holds 7 days of vitamins. Every week I fill it and put it on my kitchen table where I eat breakfast. It helps me to remember to take it. I take it in the morning after I eat. If I take them on an empty stomach it makes me nauseated.

Man wish CVS was up here in Northern Michigan. Sounds like they have some great deals! Walmart is my shop of choice - they are cheapest in the area - more bang for my buck. I take the generic walmart offers of women's one a day. Plus I take the walmart generic for calcium supplement as well.

Never thought to take vitamin c - might have to get myself some now.

Should I add calcium?

Here's what I do... Calcium, as I'm middle aged, and it promotes weight loss and increased bone densities, also increases your metyabolism. Vit D-1000iu for the absorption of the Calcium. I'm on Iron for Anemia, I also take a Multi Vit. Low energy days I have Ginseng, I take a Flax Oil pill or Fish oil pill for the Omega 3s, as I hate fish. Also 1/2 before and after I weight lift, I take a Creatinine. On Cardio sessions, I use my loud funky music (to get me through!). And within the hour after a workout of all varieties, I have a Soy Protein shake. Sound nuts, but I have done extensive"research" on all of it. Any questions, feel free to ask!:flowerforyou:
