Do you have a vitamin, supplement, or multivitamin that you routinely take? Which one would you recommend? Why do you like it?
I was thinking of starting one or some. For instance, One-A-Day for woman but I have that mentality that I do not believe that it actually works. Two months ago, I bought the GNC calcium candy. It's in a chewy caramel form. I ate maybe 5 & it has been sitting in the cupboard since then.
Thank you in advance for any input.

I take a vitamin B complex in liquid form. I also take cinnamon and chromium but those help regulate blood sugar and I take them because I have PCOS.0

My fav are the centrum chewable orange flavored vitamins. They also come in the store brand as well.0

I like GNC stuff. I'm taking their Men's formula "Mega Man with energy and metabolism boost." They have similar stuff on the woman's side of things I think.0

Just take calcium supplement as i am a woman of a certain age and I don't eat dairy (although do have the occasion serving of cream). I think supplements are worth taking if you know your diet or health means you are deficient in certain vitamins or minerals. Problem is remembering to take them.0

I take Shaklee Vita-Lea Woman and then Feverfew and Fish oil (for migraines).. I don't know if the vitamin works/makes a difference for me (My mom gets a lot more energy taking hers but only this brand not others) but the Feverfew and Fish Oil help TREMENDOUSLY with my migraines! They are much less frequent, don't last as long and are milder.. we'll see about the vitamins!0

I take a daily multivitamin - Kroger Women's One A Day so it's generic, but I notice that my nails are much stronger when I take them. If I run out and stop taking them for awhile, my nails get weaker. I can't tell you what other benefits they give, but I'm hoping it is good for more than just my nails.0

I take Prenatal Vitamins and Vitamin D. My doctor thought prenatals would be good for me. (Despite not being preggers) so I am taking it. Other than that I don't take any other supplements.
I used to take Standard Process Supplements and they were amazing, they made me feel fabulous, but they aren't cheap and I got laid off in August, so couldn't afford that luxury.0 -

I've been taking it for 2 months now. I can really tell the difference betweeen this & the OTC vitamins. Tastes yucky, but it's only 1 TB.0 -
i use the company my father recommends Natures Sunshine (found online0 they have been in business since the 70's & more importantly, they are 100% guaranteed pure. which, according to the FDA, can ONLY be labeled on herbs if they are exactly as stated. NOTHING else found in them, no fillers, dust, chemicals, pesticides to grow them - NADA. except the pure herb. it is also a family owned company, which i always support, rather than say, a company like GNC which is a multi-million dollar franchise.
that being said, i take the following every day: D3, Garlic, HSN (means hair, skin, nails) OMEGA3, and Joint-support since i do super high impact aerobics & strength training 6 times a week.0 -
Thank you. WOW! Awesome ideas!!0

I take a multivitamin similar to Centrum, fish oil and some chewable fruit flavored calciums daily. The calcium chewies are great compared to the horse pills that I used to try to choke down.0
