To those of you who take supplements, what do you take? (And please don't turn the thread into a supplements vs no supplements debate. That's not the question, so move on LOL)

I currently take Centrum, vitamin C, folic acid, B6, biotin, L-formula lysine, vitamin D, and fish oil. I have noticed with the biotin that I do have healthier nails & hair, and with the fish oil my skin definitely looks better vs when I don't take either of the supplements.

What do you take? And what benefits have you noticed?

    Won't let me edit the topic name. I made a typo. Meant for it to say "What do you take" but then I changed it to "What are you taking" but then I forgot to delete the "do." Whoops!

    I find supplements to be a very American 'thing' I don't take anything, maybe I should? (although I did try vitamin B for mozzies as I told it was a good natural repellent) x

    I take calcium and a multi-vitamin. I don't drink milk so the calcium is handy.

    I take a multivitamin, Vitamin D, just started fish oil. Also potassium because if I don't, I have chronic deep cramps in my legs. I seem to be getting enough calcium from foods.

    If fish oil repulses you, try flax seed oil for Omega-3's. What other health benefits other than metabolism boosting are you looking for?

    I got myself one of those "old lady" weekly pill planners LOL. I sort out all my vitamins in it for the week and then keep it either in the kitchen or on my bathroom sink -- somewhere I will see it and remember "Duh, take your vitamins." :wink:

    What benefits do you get from chlorophyll??? I know people who use it as a supplement, but I'm unaware of its benefits.
