I am still trying to find the right combination of things that work for me and was wondering what kind of vitamins are others taking and what benefits do you see from them? Are there any that have helped you feel full longer or helped speed up weight loss? Just curious to find out others experiences.

Right now I am taking a woman's multi-vitamin, B-12, and two cranberry pills a day. Just wondering if there is something else that I could or should be taking.

Thanks for any and all input :happy:

    Is there a place to add vitamins in the diary? I just started taking pre-natal vitamins(trying to get prego). I wasn't sure where to log that.

    You can customize your meal names in the settings, so I named one of mine "Vitamins" and log them all there.

    Hi
    I take a womens multi and a mineral supplement .. I am not the best vegetable eater although I do love fruit so the multi is to cover that and the mineral is because I am taking birth control and is kinda keeps moods even plus extra iron for energy :) Was taking a fish oil capsule as we don eat a lot of fish except canned tuna but the fish breath puts me off lol

    I added a supplements section to my food diary and list what I take there. Mine is targeted more for my age and arthritis, but feel free to look.

    I have a Vega diet, so I take a multivitamin/multimineral, B6, B12, Ovega-3 (Omega 3's from an algae source), Calcium, Magnesium, Iodine, and Vitamin D (4,000 IU's). After my long runs I take 5g of Glutamine. That's about it!

    You may want to take FOLIC ACID it was recommended by my OBGYN when I was trying to get pregnant.

    I take a variety of vitamins, but mostly because my diet is so unbalanced.

    Caffeine energizes me... protein and fiber (with plenty of water) make me feel full. Hard work (diet and exercise) speeds up my weight loss.

    Hope this helps.

    I am pretty sure that pre-natal vitamins have Folic acid in them. Folic acid is the synthetic form of Folate which occurs naturally in food. Green vegetables are a great source of Folate. Since the bioavailability of Folic Acid (supplement form) is greater you need to consume more Folate to achieve the RDA. 1ug of food Folate = 0.6ug Folic Acid
