I am currently taking Nutrilite Women's Pack and I really like them, but am curious what others are taking? Do you like them why or why not?

    I take Alive Multi for women and extra calcium/D (liquicaps) plus a B complex and chromium.

    Extra C and echinacea when I feel under the weather, and Airborne when I really feel under the weather.

    No complaints here. :smile:

    One a day minis - which means I have to take two. But I hate a big vitamin pill. They nauseate me.

    I also take B12 when I think about it - and calcium with vitamin D. (but not every day).

    The ones I need based on my nutritional deficiencies.

    B12- I'm a vegetarian (not a vegan) developed B12 deficiency after somewhere between 15-18 years
    Vitamin D - winter in the northeast
    Magnesium - cofactor for vitamin D absorption
    Probiotic

    I take a multi (alternating between 3 different kinds since it's hard to find "the best" multi.

    Maca powder (in my shakes)

    Vitamin C (I get enough through my diet, but it only stays in the body for 3-4 hours, so during "flu season" I stock up a few times a day

    Probiotics

    B12 (once every month or two if I remember - it lasts in your body for years as it is)

    I also take Olive Oil & Coconut oil now too. I think from the benefits, it can be classified as a vitamin or mineral ;)

    Probably too many, but I'm afraid to quit any of them because I'm so healthy!

    CardioTabs (mostly fish oil type ingredients)- recommended by my doc after I threw away statins that gave me raging tendinitis. A multivitamin, fish oil tablets, calcium supplements, Vitamin D.

    I take calcium, cold liver oil and iron +vit C.

    Mainly because I'm normally low on these.

    When I've been drinking I often have a berocca (well cheap asda equivalent) before bed and first thing the next morning when I wake up (even if I don't get up - I just drink it and go back to sleep) - I swear it helps with the hangovers :laugh:

    Woman's multi, B-complex, C and D3.

    ETA: I take the C complex because I have a 5 year old in school and I don't want to get sick.

    Generally none but occasionally Multibionta (multivitamin with probiotics and CoQ10) if I haven't been eating that well or feeling run-down.

    Most of the multi-vitamins make me sick to my stomach (even though I take them with food!), but I found that the gummy vitamins don't. So right now I'm taking the Viactiv Multi, Metamucil and sometimes a Super B Complex if I need a little extra boost in my day! I'll probably switch to a different gummy vitamin after I finish these though, just to switch it up.

    Trader Joe's Women's High Potency Vitamin & Mineral supplement. I like them because the complete serving is 5 tabs, so I can check my stats on MFP and see how many I need (if any) to hit my goals. I usually end up taking one or two, so the bottle of 150 is going to last me months--for a big ten bucks!

    Funny, I do the same thing with the same multi vitamin. :)

    Spring Valley women's pack - right now I love the convenience of having them all together in a little pack (too lazy to do it myself just yet)

    Also drinking 1 scoop "Macro Greens" in the mornings.

    A multivitamin that doesn't contain iron (hard to find, but every time I've taken a multi with iron it makes me sick!), plus extra vitamin D because I'm low on that.

    Vitamin C and MSM
