    While there might be some evidence supporting the use of a handful of supplements for specific purposes, It really doesn't seem worthwhile at all to drop the $.

    Vitamin D
    Calcium
    Magnesium
    Zinc
    Baby aspirin
    Fish oil (when I remember to buy it)

    I alternate Vitamin C, A, and E

    All per my doctor - the magnesium helps my migraines so I don't have to take my maxalt mlt as often

    I take:
    Prenatal
    Spring Valley Combination Fish/Flaxseed/Borage Oil
    CLA Tonalin
    Super B-Complex
    CoQ 10
    cinnamon

    I probably go a little overboard!

    I take Fish Oil, Vitamin B12, D and Folic Acid every day. I have heard that 100% Cherry Juice and Cod Liver Oil are amazing for joint health.

    Whoa, that's a really interesting chart. I love how it's broken down by the conditions the products are being used to treat.

    Bookmarking that for later reference! Thanks!:bigsmile:

    I take a lot of things per day, (I have done for years) .. I take 32 tablets in total. (not all different ones)

    I only take a few B vits.. the rest are various types of oils, minerals, amino acids and metals. (too many to mention!)

    Multi vitamin, some extra D and B12. I'll be starting the fish oil when I find out which one my cousin takes because apparently it doesn't taste bad.

    Yes the prices can be a bit high sometimes but I always look for the buy 1 get 1 sales then use two coupons (internet or newspaper generally have some) to make the price lower. I don't think I've ever paid more than $5 for any vitamin/supplement. I try to stock up when I can.

    One a Day Men's VitaCraves Gummies. Love these things. I take them with my breakfast as a little sweet snack at the end. Just don't make my mistake and leave them in your car on a hot summer day after you bought them. Now I just have a big glob of semi formed gummies that I have to pry apart each morning :p

    Yes. Iron supplement because I keep ending up with anemia despite adequate dietary iron, Vitamin C to help iron absorption. Chewable multivitamin and chewable calcium supplement. Lecithin and Vitamin E to try and keep restless leg syndrome down a bit.

    Back in 2009 I took GNC's Active Mega Vitapacks and lost like 40 pounds. I'm back on them and they are pricey but they still save me money from all the extra food I no longer crave to munch on during the afternoon and later in the evenings.

    I take a lot and have for many years. I eat relatively well but not consistently. I agree that they are probably a waste and could even be bad for people but, compared to a lot of people I know and see on here, my health is great so maybe it is working.

    centrum
    TripleFlex-glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM w/D3
    Super B-Complex
    1000 mg vit C
    vit E
    2 probiotics
    baby aspirin
    fish oil
    ginger
    Co-Q 10
