    none unless I have a clinically diagnosable deficiency. I try to get all of what I need from food. I currently expose my skin to the sun on a nearly daily basis to ensure adequate vitamin D. I'm returning to the UK and intend to do this in summer (my skin's pale enough for this to work in summer around midday), but I'll probably take a vitamin D supplement in winter as the sunlight won't be strong enough in winter. It probably was fine in the palaeolithic era when people were naked most of the time but nowadays its harder to get enough sunlight to make adequate amounts of vitamin D.

    Currently, I take a Multi, Calcium and Biotin. I will be taking Maca Root for my hormones once I pick it up from the store.

    Fish oil, multi-vitamin and creatine monohydrate. On some days, I'll throw in CLA for grins and giggles.

    Vitamin C and E, usually. Occasionally, biotin, lutein, fish oil, B-16, cranberry pills, and iron. I get enough Vitamin D from dairy products and sun. Now that I'm doing the green drinks, I suppose the C is covered, but you can never have too much C. ;)

    Ever since I started back on MFP, I have the woozies quite a bit, so I'll have to figure out how to fix that issue... :yawn:
