    I take GNC's Women's Ultra Mega Sport. I like that one.

    However, my husband was using the Men's version, but had to stop because it interfered with his BP medication. The doctor recommended he just take your basic multivitamin like Centrum.

    I take Vitamin C / Zinc. One per day, every day after I realised I was getting 0% every day!

    Vitamin C and zinc are in almost every fruit and vegetable. Sometimes it might not be entered in the system but I doubt you were getting 0% if you are eating healthfully.

    Yep. I'm on a paleo diet, so even though it's a pretty well rounded diet, I like to keep on top of my RDA.

    I take a multivitamin, "Progressive for women", and a vitamin D3 (generic brand) 10,000 UI everyday before dinner. There isn't enough vitamin D in a regular multivitamin and vitamin D is really important for regulating the metabolism and a lot of other things.

    Unless you get a lot of sun exposure everyday, I recommend you take a supplement for your vitamin D. Especially if you live in a climate where the summers are short and the winters are long! (I live in Canada :smile: )

    Only the ones my doctor told me to as a result of specific deficiencies. Just 'cause it's a vitamin doesn't mean you need more of it. :)

    I have to take something with iron as I tend to be quite anemic and being a woman it gets worse at certain times. It's One a Day Performance I think.

    I take a One a Day every day and then durring that TOM, i also take a Flinstone's Vitamin w/ iron for the same reason.

    You'd want at least 2 or 3.

    I take a multi-vitamin "energy" formula, a flax gel cap and a magnesium pill. Ha-can't even remember what prompted me to start the magnesium (I think I read somewhere it is supposed to help with cravings, but it hasn't helped). So I am just finishing up the bottle and won't take after that is gone.

    I had also taken a Vitamin D supplement over the winter hoping that it would help with the seasonal depression, but I really don't think that helped either so I quit that when the bottle was gone.

    I mentioned to the girls in the lab about getting my vitamin levels checked when they drew blood last time and they just kinda blew it off saying that that Dr. would have to order that done. Dr. said at my age and health he didn't feel it was necessary :grumble: I guess I don't complain enough....

    I also drink a Hy-Drive energy drink every morning (LOVE that stuff!) which has extra B vitamins. I call it my "Go Juice" since I don't drink coffe or tea and very rarely have a soda. It is loaded with caffeine!
