Ladies: What Multi-Vitamins do you take?

deniseg31

Hello!

I just wanted to know which over-the-counter Multi-Vitamins you girls take. I've heard that prenatal vitamins are very good because they help you have healthy hair (which I seem to be losing a lot of lately :ohwell: ) and healthy nails. I've never taken Prenatal vitamins when I wasn't pregnant and I was never really able to tell if my hair or nails got healthier at the time either.

I thought I would ask you ladies what vitamins you are taking if any at all. I feel like I need to find me some good ones.

Also, what time of day do you take your vitamins?

Thank you beautiful girls....

I take the Flinstones in the blue bottle with extra calcium. The adult muti-vits makes me sick, even if I take them with food. I take one in the morning and one at night because your body can take it all in at once.

I take Womens One a Day, Biotin (good for hair and nails ) Super B complex, and Womens ultra mega energy and metabolism

I used to take prenatal vitamins, then I compared them to Swiss One Multivitamins and it turns out that Swiss One wins on every vitamin and mineral - including folate! So I pop one of those with 2 Vitamin D3's every morning after my workout ^_^

I take vitamins every morning and this weekend purchased "Alive for Women" at the Vitamin Shoppe. I'll let you know what I think of them after a few days

I take a Spring Valley Prenatal vitamin every day. Not only do I notice healthier hair and nails, but after only like a week I notice my eyelashes are longer! (Big plus there!) I also take a calcium supplement and Flex-a-min for healthy bones and joints.

I take Women's One A Day Active Metabolism and really feel great and energized all day long I got them at Target and was able to use a Target coupon and a Manufacturer coupon... they ended up about $3.50 for a bottle of 50!

Centrum for Women (sp). It also has the vitamins in it for healthy hair and nails.

I take the Flintstones complete vitamins with lunch. I used to take adult multivitamins but they used to give me a really bad stomach ache whether I ate them with food or not. So far this works really well for me.

Bassets Soft & Chewy multi-vitamins, they're really nice, just like eating candy :]

Hmm, I take a B-12 and Potassium supplement. I take the B-12 since I don't eat meat and it helps support healthy a nervous system, as does the Potassium. I have sciatica so I take care of it through those two supplements.

As for a multi-vitamin or anything, I used to take One a Day or a generic one if I felt I needed it. I do eat a lot of nutrient rich foods so I figured I'm ok with not taking the daily vitamin.

For your hair/nails... here's a good link on the topic: http://www.webmd.com/healthy-beauty/features/top-10-foods-for-healthy-hair

"Even though you can find beauty supplements on the shelves of most stores, try to get the nutrients you need from foods whenever possible," Paradi Mirmirani, MD, a dermatologist in Vallejo, Calif., tells WebMD. "In rare instances, excess supplementation of certain nutrients, such as vitamin A, has been linked to hair loss."

Good luck!!

I take Garden of Life Perfect Weight Vitamin and sometimes Garden of Life Vitamin Code for Women. It's a good quality vitamin!

Vitamin B6 is good for hair loss, btw.

Just wondering if you take them right after you eat breakfast. If I take them in the morning and don't eat for awhile they make me sick, too. But, if I take them just before or after I eat I'm fine.

Multi-vitamin and fish-oil... everything else, unless medically perscribed is a placebo

I take TruNature Whole Food Vitimans from Costco.com. I used to take Rainbow Light for Women - but they were just too expensive. These seemed very similar, and the price was way better! I take them in the morning, along with an Omega-3 and a Vitiman D3. No problems with after taste, stomach issues, nothing. I feel good! If you're going to start a multi... I would encourage you to also consider an Omega-3 (especially if you don't eat a lot of oily/fatty fish like salmon). Omega-3 help prevent heart disease, acts as an anti-inflammatory, and helps lower cholesterol (by raising the good cholesterol). )

over the counter prenatal vitamins (no i am not prego ) and fish oil natures own (cant afford the good stuff yet)

I recently started taking one a day vitacraves complete adult multivitamin as well as an iron supplement because I find that I do not get my daily amount in through the foods I eat (which I am working on). I find that since I started taking these, I have had more energy

one a day vits work for me. Plus give me energy.

I take New Chapter Organics " Every Woman's One Daily "
They are NOT cheap but having done a lot of reading, I feel that most mass-produced Vitamin brands don't deliver on their promises.
New Chapter is also organic- meaning no strange chemicals and dyes.

bparr

Centrum Chewables. Eliminated the nauseated feeling that typical "pills" sometimes cause.
:flowerforyou: Note to the ladies: Be sure to get Vitamin D
