What supplements are you taking and why? Any multivitamin takers?


CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10) - Good for Cardio vascular system and lowering blood pressure (in trials).
Caffeine - because mornings suck. (one cup of coffee)
Green Tea Extract - for when I can't get that cup of coffee.

    just protein powder and a multi-vitamin (when I remember to take it) for me. I do drink coffee, but don't count that as a supplement.

    TJ Prenatal Vitamins bc they are a multi and I want to use them up before the expiration date.

    Whey protein powder to increase my protein intake.

    I also drink coffee and green tea and make protein shakes post-workout

    I just bought new whey powder, casein, amino chews, vitamin C (chewable of course!), multivitamin, and omega 3 chews.

    I don't like fish, so I'm always worried about my omega 3 intake... and I tend to forget about vitamins unless they are yummy. So thats why pretty much everything is yummy ^^

    They're all different and you do need them all, but in pretty tiny amounts!

    I take:

    Vegan Omega 3
    Calcium + Vitamin D and
    Multivitamin + Iron


    I feel a lot better for taking them, which means I wasn't getting all I need from my diet!

    I just ordered from a health site, multiple vitamins.and trace liquid minerals. I remembered years back I took a good trace mineral and my joints did not hurt as bad. My next purchase is going to be a veggie/fruit supplment, as I feel no way can I eat all the fruits and veggies i need each day. Right now, I am going to do the multivitamin, because especially when dieting, I know I can't consume all the neutrients I need. I am taking omega 3 fish oil capsule I keep in the fridge so I don't have any weird flavors come out later,
