Do you take a vitamin supplement? I can't decide if I need one or not. Last year I was going to the gym and was taking GNC vitamin packs. I had absurd amounts of energy, lower appetite and one of the pills "targeted belly fat". Now, I tend to believe all those changes came by because of the excercise, not the vitamins.

So I was just curious if you take them. If so, which ones.

    I take one.... I am low on Iron so I take one to help with that. I dont think it would hurt you by taking one.

    I have heard prenatals are the best to take!

    I take a multi vitamin and an iron supplement.

    I do believe that it gives me more energy. I don't necessarily feel it, but I feel like I'm dragging if I miss a day or two in a row.

    I took multivitamins and cod liver oil (this one for my joints) I recorded them on my food diary and showed that while taking them I was waaay over my vitamin levels, so I decided to stop taking them both and see what vitamins I got from eating better food and if I don't get enough vitamins then I can take the tablet to make up for it.

    Yes my internist recommended them and I pop two of those a day to get a good heavy dose of it all, it's called super dosing on vitamins what your body doesn't need it flushes it out without any negative effects.
