    I take centrum, fish oil and arginine. Fish oil is good for your heart, just make sure you get entric coated unless you enjoy fishy burps. :)

    If your multivitamin is making you sick, it could be because its too strong. Try a childrens multi or find one that suggests taking 2 per day, but only take 1.

    I also take a B-Complex and second the above poster with the fish oil!!

    I learned the hard way to not take vitamins and supplements on an empty stomach! They go in with food.

    I take a childrens chewable multivitamin because my stomach cant handle the adult ones. I also take a vitamin b complex and an omega 3 (fish oil) that also contains vitamin e and antioxidant fruits (lycium fruit, acai fruit, noni fruit).

    I take a generic women's multi-vitamin and glucosamine (I have pretty much no cartilage in my left knee, ouch :( ) I tried taking fermented cod liver oil for awhile, it's supposed to be really good for you, but it's basically as disgusting as it sounds. I should've sprung for the gel caps instead of being a tightwad and paying less for the liquid :/

    I take several vitamins including a multi, calcium, D3, C, and others. It helps for me to only get liquid softgel or capsule versions (no hard tablets of anything unless no other option). Best I can tell, this seems to help in digestion and absorption. The only tablet I think I take is an enzyme because I like the brand.

    Sam-e
    Prenatel
    Biotin
    B-12
    Relacore

    With vitamins, make sure you follow the directions. Some of them you need to take with food others you don't. If you don't follow the directions they don't get absorbed right and you might as well not even take them.
