I take supplements. How about you?

To OP, I don't remember all the details of my past research but look into vitamin B and neurotoxicity.

ps I take a multivitamin and occasionally some fish oil. Low maintenance here

I take the following supplements twice a day (early morning and late afternoon) for my metabolism, energy, and general well being. I'm curious if anyone else takes supplements and would like to share...

Cinnamon - 2 capsules

Wow, can you tell me how much this would cost on a monthly basis please?

I take creatine.

You can solve that headache of all the B-vitamins that you take by using a liquid or powdered form multi-vitamin like Sport Formula. Better absorption and digestibility of vitamins than ANY tablet. It has all the B-vitamins and amounts that you need.

My supplements are split into a few categories; pre workout, post workout, daily.

Preworkout:
Carbalean (Nutracore Nutrition)
Aminocore IBCAAs (Nutracore Nutrition)
Engaged preworkout (Nutracore Nutrition)
Assist NOX - creatine nitrate (Nutracore Nutrition)
Nitric Flood - N.O. booster (Nutracore Nutrition)

Post workout:
Glutaplex - peptide bonded and chelated glutamine complex (Nutracore Nutrition)
Isolate Complete - whey isolate protein with CLA + L-carnitine, antioxidants, and probiotic (Nutracore Nutrition)
I also have some frozen mixed berries blended into that to make a nice smoothie.

Daily:
Alkalinity Fuel multivitamin (Nutracore Nutrition) or Sport Formula
Alkalinity CLA (Nutracore Nutrition)

If anyone has any questions on what they should take, please feel free to ask me via message! I own a nutrition store and I will go through my customers goals, workout routines, diets, and current body type in order to prescribe them EXACTLY what THEY NEED, nothing more, nothing less. Nutrition is not a one-fit-all approach and should not be taken that way like Advocare, Visalus, Beachbody, GNC, or Vitamin Shoppe approaches it. Everyone is different, has a different goal and body type and any "program" might work for one person, but might not be the best for another.
This is what I do on a daily basis and is what I LOVE to do. I like helping people!

Calcium supplement
Super HD for energy
Ab Cuts for fat burn

Why do you take this much stuff? It is deinfately not needed if you have a proper diet. Too many suppliements aren't a good thing. I couldn't imagine spending so much on suppliements as that many have to cost quite a chunk of money. Personally I would imagine the money would be spent better by using your suppliment money to purchase fresh produce.

I take one daily probiotic and one daily B50 vitamin. All other vitamins and minerals can be gotten from a proper diet.

Wow, well first off you look great and your pic does give off a nice energy (sorry that's the libra in me!!)
I've never seen one person take that many forms of vitamin B but as long as you've done you're research and you know you're not over doing it, they you should be fine. I've found that b6 is usually ok to take and I've read you can never have too much (in most cases) but I think B12 is what you need to look out for when it comes to b vitamins... Here's an article I found which is somewhat helpful: http://www.livestrong.com/article/278653-symptoms-of-too-much-vitamin-b/ - it gives you clues of what to look for if you are overdoing it... If you're clear, you're good. But it is a known fact that it is much better to get your vitamins the good ole natural way so I do my best with that bc taking 50 pills a day really gets boring (in my opinion).

I take these supplements religiously:
Potassium (although better to eat potassium rich foods but if I don't have my daily banana, spinach or avocado I take a supplement)
Omega 3 fish oil: vitamin shoppe (Carlson the finest lol)
Odorless garlic
General gender specific multi vitamin: I used to take zinc, magnesium, A, K, and D alone but figured I would just do a multi so I'm getting the recommended amounts.
Yerma prima bentonite detox - just cleans any impurities naturally
Teas I drink which I like to think of as natural drinkable supplements: hibiscus, green, chamomile & lavender (last two to calm my body and thoughts at night)
I take Milk Thistle (protects liver) and Acetyl-L-Carnitine (promotes healthy brain function)
blackberries for it's antioxidant powers and ground flaxseed for overall health benefits.
Been meaning to start adding Gingko biloba and CoQ10 to regimen.

So for me that's a lot to remember already but I'm sure there's a few more things I can add overall! Now if I just knew that much about how to lose a little more weight, I would be in the clear!! lol -but that's why I'm here ; ) good luck to you!

I do B vitamins a lot, usually in liquid form.

I take Porcine Thyroid, Adaptamax, Vitamin D, Iodoral and a Daily Enzyme pill. But that's because I have hypothyroidism and so my adrenals suffer for it. Vitamin D and Iodine is due to the fact that I live in Vermont and you don't get much sunlight in the winter nor is there much iodine in the soil. Daily Enzyme is just to help me digest more of the food I eat.

I keep it simple :bigsmile:

B Complex daily
D3 4000 IU daily - My levels come in low
C 500 milligrams daily

I take Porcine Thyroid, Adaptamax, Vitamin D, Iodoral and a Daily Enzyme pill. But that's because I have hypothyroidism and so my adrenals suffer for it.

What does this mean? I have hypothyroisdism too but I take synthroid for it. Shoudl i be doing something in addition??
