    I have some protein powder but it's more of a food to me than a supplement. I have a shake for breakfast some days or a snack at the end of the day if I need more protein. I take Vitamin D everyday (live in a rainy, cloudy area). I need to get back to taking my Arthritis supplements (Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM), I really can tell a difference when I take those. Also there is a full daily allowance of Vitamin B6 in the Melatonin I take at night to help me sleep.

    I take a generic multi-vitamin, B-12, omega 3-6-9 and cinnamon. The cinnamon is because I'm pre-diabetic and it helps control blood sugar.

    Fish Oil is probably highest on my list. I also take Vit D (lots), a liquid multi every few days, raw apple cider vinegar, green tea, and a mushroom blend vcap.

    ETA: Fish oil seems to be a panacea supplement. So does ACV. And I take Vit D, green tea & the mushroom blend (and fruits & vegs in general) because I hope they are a good combination cancer prevention... my grandmother died of lymphoma and it sits heavy on my mind).

    I take a multivitamin, fish oil, and whey protein for post workout recovery.

    I already take the protein and plan on getting the multivits, but what are the benefits of fish oil ( I presume that cod liver oil capsules are the same thing) and do you notice a difference when you take them.

    Thanks

    fish oil is good for soo many things...ur immune system, skin, hair, weigh loss, heart...the list goes on. I also take a multi vitamins without iron (doc recommended this because I have a fatty liver) I also take a whey protein shake in the am.
    fish oil is a blood pressure lowerer :) i only know cause my dad often takes them to keep his under control without having to go onto statens

    I do carlson's cod liver oil (lemon flavor) with herbs and vinegar on my salad.

    I also take a multivitamin by Melaleuca. I have a hard time finding multivitamins, and usually after a couple months my body can't tolerate them. But I've been taking Melaleuca for over a year now. Another one I bought when I lived in Oklahoma was by a home-made company called Starr-Walker.

    What doesn't it do?? LOL I first started taking it mainly for mood regulation. In addition to mental health benefits, it does a ton of other things to: it's associated with reduced breast cancer risk (and other cancers) and fish oil is recommended by the AHA (good for high blood pressure, high triglycerides, and other cardiovascular health). And tons more. There's almost no system that doesn't benefit from it.

    Some of the benefits have been demonstrated in studies. Other benefits are possible, but not shown clearly enough in studies (or not studied enough yet) to say for sure. And I'm sure some of the claims have been disproven, as well, although I can't think of any off the top of my head.
