I am nursing and about to start TTC our second, while losing weight (fun!)
I take
Garden of Life RAW prenatal multi
New Chapter Organics Wholemega Prenatal (Alternate with Garden of Life Ocean's Mom, because Wholemega is expensive)
Vitamin D3 (Up&Up) 3000 IU
Calcium Citrate (Citrical Plus) with Magnesium
Magnesium Citrate
And I'm about to add Metamucil...because I apparently don't eat nearly enough fiber.
AndLife Extension Whey Protein powder (from grass fed cows) But is that really more a food?0 -

If you eat a good diet, have no health problems, and aren't a nursing mother, almost all vitamins are a waste of time and money. The science behind them -- ALL of them -- is shaky and at best contradictory.
For every peer-reviewed article you can show me about BCAAs, fish oil, and multivitamins, I can either tear apart the methodology, or show you a peer-reviewed article showing the opposite.
The one exception is vitamin D. I live in Las Vegas, where people are almost always inside and never see the sun. So vitamin D supplementation is a good idea.
(It's pretty fascinating to see guys who are very scientific in their workouts and laugh at "broscience" when it comes to lifting take a handful of fish oil, magnesium, and other pointless crap every day, just because some guy getting paid to endorse it told them to.)0 -

Magnesium
Potassium chloride
I was having terrible leg cramps from being low on potassium so now I make my own Gatorade with it.
I've been having problems with not enough potassium lately, but I can't seem to find any at stores. Is it a prescription thing?0 -

I take one(1) multivitamin, rather than their recommended two(2). Optimum Nutrition Women's. I also take two(2) probiotics, two(2) fish oil capsules and 1-150mg daily. Not really a supplement, but necessary!
Oh and protein powder.0 -
