Vitamins?

I have to take vitamins because I'm anemic. I take iron, vitamin c, folic acid, and b12. All of these work together in order to get my blood functioning properly. I say take a multivitamin. If you're not taking it for anything specific and just want the little extra boost, I recommend a multi. If you're looking to take something for the potassium and calcium, take a low dose of the supplements for those.

I take Kirkland Signature Vitamins and Minerals, although I want to get something a little better. I also take an extra iron pill and a flaxseed oil gelcap. I usually take a teaspoon or two of coconut oil every day as a supplement as well.

Vitamins are excreted via the urine if you don't use them, so it doesn't really hurt to take them just to be safe. (I'm sure there are exceptions to this...it's just a general rule of thumb).

I take a daily that my dr gave me, but before that I used Andrew Lessman vitimans, I still take many of his products but my daily I got from my dr. Andrew Lessman has amazing products and a real passion for making them, they are def the best I've ever taken.

I do, mostly because I know I am not eating spot on... and you don't get as much from food as you used too.

I take GNC Women's Ultra Mega Green.
It has digestive enzymes in it too, that help my tummy.

Yes I do - I take a load of them every morning.

1) I take 3 Bluebonnet superearth multinutrient caplets (whole food/herb multivitamin) one serving are 3 caplets.



2) I take extra calcium - Oscal 500 mg and calcium also helps in reducing your fat absorption in addition to its other obvious benefits.

3) 1 capsule of Gingko Biloba

4) 1 capsule Lutein (eye health)

5) 1 capsule of raw vitamin D3 (overall health & fights the flu - shown in a prison population)

6) Omega 3 - 2 gels (keeps you young, sharp and healthy).

Then I drink bio kefir and 8 oz of Acai juice every morning (just started with the Acai juice - I got sucked into this - it has a great taste).

Do you take vitamins?

Yes.

Why

I started years ago to aid for depression. Now I just take them when I find I'm consistently low in something.

If you do, do you just take one multi vitamin or multiple ones?

I switch it up.

Which ones?

What are the pros and cons to taking one vitamin over the separate ones?

I think both are fine, it just depends on what you need. If you are lacking in potassium and calcium only, then you likely wont get the calcium you need from a multi. If you are close to meeting all your requirements and just need a small all around boost, a multi will work just fine. I think whats even more important is that you choose the right kind of vitamins. Not all vitamins are created equal. Food based vitamins are best. Try and stay clear of the synthetic crap. Obviously the best and most effective vitamins you can take in are from whole foods.

Multivitamins...separately...every day. I prefer to play it safe....
