I have been reading a lot about various supplements/vitamins that are beneficial to your health. There are SO many, and I`m wondering what other healthy-mindex people take on a daily basis.

Right now I`m taking a women`s multi vitamin, a probiotic complex (to try to help with my sluggish digetion), and a green tea supplement.

    I take Nature's Way Alive Women's Energy Multivitamin, Omega 3 Fish Oil Capsules, extra B-Complex and occasionally extra vitamin D-3 (there are already some B and D-3 in the multi) and a probiotic.

    This is new for me, as I tend to amass large numbers of bottles of vitamins, but never take them. After two months on these vitamins, my bloodwork came back super for the first time in years (I'm usually anemic), and my skin is glowing (but that could also be all the water and the exercise).

    I've definitely noticed a general sense of well-being since taking the added vitamin D3.

    I take a multi vitamin, omega -3, calcium caltrate. Also once a month vitamin B-12 shot because my system can only absorb the B vitamin sublingually or by injection due to the surgery I have had. :smile:

    I eat balanced diet, so my baseline is none. That said, I do take some vitamin D because I work indoors and my blood tests showed that it was low. I also took CoQ10 because it actually lowered my blood pressure a little bit. Unfortunately not enough to get off the BP meds and I discontinued it. I take fish oil because that and the glucosamin/chondoritin actually work for my joints.

    I take a daily woman's vitamin since I don't always eat healthy. I take extra vitamin C since I work with kids and lots of germs and think it helps my immune system. I take extra calcium too since I don't get enough and its important as a woman to get enough and a probiotic too. I also take glucosamine chondroitin msm (for joints) as recommended by my chiropractor as I have missing cartilage in my neck and issues with neck and shoulder due to it. I use a pill container for each day of the week to help me make sure I take them daily.

    I take a high dose D3 three times a week because I'm deficient and then B12 once a week.

    I wonder if I`m the only one who doesn`t get bloodwork done on a regular basis. Would probably help me select exactly what my body needs. Thanks to all for the info.

    zinc will also help If you take it every three hours in losenge form when you start getting sick. It stops it from getting worse in my experience

    None.
    When I see people taking 6, 7, 8+ pills when they wake up I wonder if they feel like they're dying.
