    I take a number of supplements to help me in my overall health. Part of the reason is that I'm allergic to all fruits and vegetables and don't feel like I get enough of the natural nutrients because of it. Another part is that I'm currently TTC and I want to be in the best health possible while carrying.

    I take:
    Folic Acid
    Cranberry Pills
    Vitamin C with rosehips
    Calcium with Vitamin D
    Vitmain B12
    Vitamin E
    Acidophilus

    And I'm going to check with my doctor if adding my multivitamin and cod liver oil pills back in will give me too much of any of these vitamins.

    ETA: I also started whey protein this week but it might be too expensive for me to keep up. It seems that I don't get enough of it naturally in my diet though.

    I take protein powder occasionally and that's it to be serious. Maybe once in a while I'll take a multivitamin.

    I take fish oil, and 1000 IU of vitamin D3 during the winter when I don't get much sun. I've been taking a multi lately too.

    I don't consider whey a supplement. It's food.

    Yeah agreed, i don't personally consider whey a supplement either but in technical terms it is which is why I listed it.

    I take aloe vera gel, which helps to keep my gut clean enabling me to absorb the nutrients from my food, i take Bee Pollen which is a fantastic supplement for overall healthy contains pretty much everything in it the body needs to survive, however my reason for taking it, is for energy it really does help me, and i am taking forever living fields of green which is a supplement containing wheatgrass

    none of the above specifically for weight loss just for general health and i do find they are helping me alot my skin is clearer i ahve that bit more energy e.t.c i also drink a few cups of green tea a day

    I have considered taking rasberry keytone to help with my weight loss have heard good reports but i am still nursing my youngest and not sure if it is safe to take when BF
