I take a multi-vitamin and mineral with iron and 5000 iu D tablet every day. I don't get much sun thats why I take vitamin D.

I used to take chromium picolonate but there was some speculation it might be carcinogenic so I quit like 5 years ago. It was only speculative but I err on the side of caution.

    Disney Princess chewable multi-vitamin.

    And every time I take it I think of Sheldon Cooper telling me I just made expensive urine.

    If you can name it (vitamins that is), I probably take it. That said, I take zero prescription drugs. I have been very healthy my whole life and I sure hope it continues.

    A multivitamin and a bunch of stuff the doctors recommended. It's a drag.

    I'm going to ask if I can add biotin. The stylist keeps pushing it and if I can't hurt me, the Stupid Girl part of me wants to try it. :) I'm sure they'll say No, so it doesn't matter, anyway, but Stupid Girl part likes astrology and wants to take Biotin. :)

    A bowl of Cheerios and a Slim Fast shake most days, lol!

    I *should* be taking my Vitamin D, as I'm deficient and shun sunlight (I burn TERRIBLY). I really need to get some more Vitamin D drops (I'm supposed to take 2,000-3,000IU daily) and go get retested.

    I take fish oil, a probiotic, turmeric, a magnesium/calcium citrate supplement, a multivitamin, vitamin C, biotin, and vitamin D.

    I was not a believer in supplements for the longest time, but when I started my lifestyle change I decided to give them a try.

    I did the same thing. Losing 30 lbs and switching to NoSalt let me throw away my blood pressure medicine about a year ago.

    Multivitamin, l-lysine, and because I'm female, calcium, iron, and a probiotic (keeps everything happy).

    The local blood center always rejected me for blood donations for being anemic, and then MFP helped me see that I wasn't getting enough iron in my diet. Good lookin' out, MFP! :smile:

    Glucosamine Sulphate with MSM for my joints (I run a lot and am still a way off target so any help I can give my knees I do!). Also I suffer from chronic insomnia and have found that 5-HTP pretty much guarantees me a good night's sleep (with really vivid technicolour dreams too!). I have a protein shake as part of my breakfast most days as am in work so can't cook eggs and protein helps fill me up until lunch.

    None, I get everything I need from my diet - which does not include any meat, seafood or fresh water fish, chicken, eggs.

    I take a women's daily multi-vitamin, a cod liver oil pill, a magnesium oxide pill, and vitamin D. I know some of my pills give me the same vitamins I need, but I find them very helpful.
