    Vitamin D3, prenatal vitamin (not pregnant, but tend to have iron issues). I love the vitamin D3 and it seems to give me energy and keep me more balanced. I almost never miss taking the D3, but the prenatal, meh, doesn't seem to do much.

    Nature's Plus - Adult's Chewable Apple Flavor, 2 tablets
    Nature's Plus Chewable - Nutrical Hearts Calcium, 4 tablets

    These make me fee like I am getting what I need everyday. I take the calcium for my osteoporosis. I've been taking these for years. I hardly every get sick. I carry them in a pocket and much on them throughout the day so that I absorb them gradually, instead of dumping them in my system and eliminating the surplus.

    Good topic.

    NO, taking A LOT of vitamins is not recommended, even taking a multi-vitamin has been shown to not be absorbed by the body very well and it is better to obtain most vitamins from natural foods but if you have 1 specific issue i.e. anemic and need iron, pregnant and need folic acid or female and don't want to crumble when you are old - calcium. Since you are a 50 year old women new to fitness it’s highly recommended you visit your doctor first to talk about supplements - if necessary since you are prime age for osteoporosis and colonoscopy and mammogram screening at your age are a must.

    I started taking Advocares MNS Max Energy supplements.. I LOVE THEM! Only bad part is that there is over 8 pills to take a day.. You take 5 before breakfast, 1 with breakfast, 3 for lunch, 3 after.. Dont know.. But they work great.. Vitamins, probiotics, energy, metab booster, omegas, etc...

    Planning on changing it though because I HATE drinking all those pills. :D:D

    Amy's herbal tea : I LOVE this stuff! It's made from herbs and fruits. It's GREAT, no, no, that is an understatement, it's AMAZING for constipation relief and just has an abundance of benefits.

    I drink 1/2 cup everyday before breakfast and it's just wonderful! A family friend of our of the maker is this tea so that I how I know it's organic and made from best ingredients :D I do have to drink a lot of water when drinking the tea, which I do :)

    Glucosamine and Marine Collagen, CoQ10, Evening Primrose Oil. Occasionally a multi vit + mineral if I've had a crappy couple of days or pre-tom, but not everyday :) I feel great most of the time :)

    I've come off probiotics as they made no difference, although would take them again after anti-biotics or a tummy bug. I also drink mint tea with most meals to aid digestion and if I could only do one thing, it would be drink the mint tea - it's marvellous :)

    Dude! Just started Creatine Hydrochloride. Went from not being able to walk after my work outs cause my legs were so sore and then half a$$ing it a few days later on sore legs to waking up the day after a grueling leg workout and they feel a little tight, but I could work the same muscle group everyday. I don't but it feels like I could. Simply amazing!
