Hi MFP!

I was wondering if any of you take vitamins and if you do, what are they?

I take a variety of them:
Daily Multi
B12 (I seem to have a problem with keeping my energy up through the day)
Omega 3,6,9
Calcium
Evening Primrose Oil
Iron (for a week out of the month)


Any recommendations for must-take vitamins and supplements? :)

    I take a multi-vitamin from GNC with energy in it
    Flax Seed oil 2 liquid caps a day
    Vitamin D3 (for my dry skin)
    Konjac Complete for hunger (has raspberry ketones in it) just started. I take 2 pills/day..thinking about upping it to 4 (you can take up to 4).

    I used to not take anything but i needed something and well now I'm vitamined up :)

    I take a multi and I take 2 supplements and 1 powder by Kat-A-Lyst: Adicore an appetite suppresant/thermogenic, For Her a skin/hair/nails supplement, and Glutacor an amino supplement (when I work out real hard). CLA, and a joint glucosamine/msm/chondroitin supplement. Then during the day I also take Green Vibrance a green food/probiotic powder, Protien powder, . I spent a while messing with lots of different supplements and these are the ones that I can feel a difference if I dont take.

    Your reply made me smile because I am the same. Why is it hard to take my vitamins daily? I take: Vitamin D, no problem every day because it is small and by my toothbrush. Later in the day, I take fish oil, calcium and a multi-vitamin. I never remember, I hate taking them because they are big etc. This week has been my first week, ever, that I am really trying to take the vitamins!!!!

    Multi vit
    Carlsons fish oil, the best!
    CLA

    I love CLA, have seen a big difference in my abdominal area since taking it. I suggested it to my wife and friends as well, all have seen results. CLA was worth trying for me because the ingredient list is short and know to myself. I do not recommend "diet pills" as a quick fix, went down that road years ago and so not worth it. Not possible to keep up that lifestyle.

    Fish Oil
    Calcium with Magnesium and Zinc

    I have a hard time remembering to take my vitamins too... I keep them in my lunch bag @ work so every time I have my snacks or lunch it helps me remember!
