Morning all!

Just wondering if any of you guys and girls take any vitamin supps?

I do try my very best to get vits etc out of food. I get my 5 a day fruit and veg most days. But I also take 3 pills a day and one drink.

1) Vitamin C effervecent drink for xtra Vit C

2) Zinc Tablet for immune system

3) Glucosamine Sulphate for joints and cartlidge (thought it might help with strain jiu jitsu can put on joints)

4) Cod liver oil 1000mg cap for bones and and muscles

Interested on people views...

    Men's Multi, vitamin C (plenty, I drink alcohol therefore I need more), omega 3 (3 times daily), Magnesium (before bed to assist sleep).

    I'll be getting some Cod Liver Oil for the vitamins A and D next.

    I take a 'one a day' and a couple of fish oil supplements...should I be logging these in?

    My wife and I just started Myfitnesspal this week and are getting adicted to it. Great app! Jack

    Half of a multivitamin (I figure I don't need 100% of anything except maybe B-12, and that's also fortified in some foods) and a vegetarian DHA/EPA supplement.

    I take rainbow light organic women's multivitamin. I eat and juice a lot of fruit and veggies, so I get a lot of nutrients from those. I also use nutritonal yeast, ground flaxseed meal, coconut water, and coconut oil. For shakes/smoothies I use garden of life raw organic protein powder and living harvest organic vanilla spice hemp protein powder. The combo seems to be working for me.

    I take a multi, Vitamin D and calcium with magnesium.

    My new multi has green tea extract which is supposed to help with weight loss. I started taking it a little over a week ago. I take 2 a day with food...seems like it helped me get past a 6 week long plateau.

    Only problem is it seems to nauseate me...yesterday I was actually sick so I'm skipping today.

    Does anyone have any recommendations on a good multi to take?
