I am curious as to what vitamins you guys take? Also what have you noticed it helps you with? And if someone told you to take it their reasoning?

Wow! Am I nosy! lol. I just think it is interesting on what people take and maybe there is something that I am overlooking.

I currently take Stress B Complex vitamin. My doctor is the one that told me to take it years ago because I have a low immunity. I get sick very easily. I have been like this since I was 18. Weird huh? But from reading up on it this particular vitamin helps those that suffer from stress. (I do have anxiety that I take meds for) What have I noticed from this vitamin? Well, my hair and nails are healthier they both grow like crazy. That is all I really have noticed. Oh yeah, it does help fighting off what my little guy has when he is sick sometimes.

Alright....you turn :flowerforyou:

    Hi Amber,

    I take a one a day type vitamin pill. I am not a big vegetable eater so it makes me feel better to know that I am getting and supplementing those vitamins that I don't get in my diet. :-)

    Hello I take a womens Raw Vitaman Sport from Vitaman World the Raw vitamans absorb in your body immediadly (which you can tell bc ur pee changes to neon) and my nutritionalist told me the centrum and those type of vitamans stay in your body up to 6 months and dont fully dissove ! So I would say definatly take a RAW type of womens vitaman. I also take Selenium and bladderack that you get from the health food store that helps promote a healthy thyroid (Which can make you gain weight if not maintained) which my trainer told me also helps you lose weight. And lastly I take Chromium Picolate Its a fat metablosm burner without the jitters( bc i too have anxiety that i take med for) Hope that helps!

    Popeye's Supplements has a powder that tastes like blueberries - called veggies greens... it's an entire days worth of the nutrients from vegetables (but you should still eat veggies :)

    Just saying

    I just started taking Endless Youth vitamins today. My mom ordered them a while back and they kept shipping box after box. She had plenty so I thought I would try a box. Not sure exactly what all is in them but it is a pack of 4 pills a day. I will look into what is in them this evening. Has anyone ever taken Endless Youth?

    if you do take calcium, make sure there's vitamin D and magnesium in them as well, it helps with absorbtion...
