    I take centrum, fish oil and arginine. Fish oil is good for your heart, just make sure you get entric coated unless you enjoy fishy burps. :)

    If your multivitamin is making you sick, it could be because its too strong. Try a childrens multi or find one that suggests taking 2 per day, but only take 1.

    I also take a B-Complex and second the above poster with the fish oil!!

    I learned the hard way to not take vitamins and supplements on an empty stomach! They go in with food.

    I take a childrens chewable multivitamin because my stomach cant handle the adult ones. I also take a vitamin b complex and an omega 3 (fish oil) that also contains vitamin e and antioxidant fruits (lycium fruit, acai fruit, noni fruit).

    I take a generic women's multi-vitamin and glucosamine (I have pretty much no cartilage in my left knee, ouch :( ) I tried taking fermented cod liver oil for awhile, it's supposed to be really good for you, but it's basically as disgusting as it sounds. I should've sprung for the gel caps instead of being a tightwad and paying less for the liquid :/

    I take several vitamins including a multi, calcium, D3, C, and others. It helps for me to only get liquid softgel or capsule versions (no hard tablets of anything unless no other option). Best I can tell, this seems to help in digestion and absorption. The only tablet I think I take is an enzyme because I like the brand.

    Sam-e
    Prenatel
    Biotin
    B-12
    Relacore

    With vitamins, make sure you follow the directions. Some of them you need to take with food others you don't. If you don't follow the directions they don't get absorbed right and you might as well not even take them.

    I take gummi milti-vitamins. Started as a joke, but I've stuck with them, and they've been great. I also take a B-vitamin multi for energy.

    Taking the one a day multivitamin for women, healthy mind and body, and also glucosomine and chondrotin (for all the walking and workouts, make it easier on my kness) and gummy fiber. Definitely taking them with food otherwise they make me sick too.

    check out precisionnutrition

    they say all we need as far as supplements are-

    a multi vitamin- I get a gerneric at wal mart

    a greens powder- I like the greens antioxidant complex by controlled labs

    fish oil. I use controlled labs on this also (it is enteric coated)

    and finally a protein powder if your foods arent supplying enough- I use micellar creme chocolate milk shake, its a cassein protein and gold standard whey, vanilla

    Unless you are big on dairy and dark greens, I would throw in some calcium. As a woman, take it now so you don't wish you had, later on.
    I take a multi (don't know the brand, I just read for content then buy)
    B 50 complex
    magnesium
    Glucosamine
    Fish oil
    Calcium with vit. D (total 1050 mg calcium. That along with healthy foods should cover me even though I'm non-dairy)

    There are various reasons to take different things, and everyone is different. I take the magnesiumto help fight migraines and glucosamine because I'm 51 with arthritis in my neck & shoulders, but won't let it slow me down. Do what you need for you.

    Vitamins used to make me sick to my stomach as well, even with food. I now take (when I remember :) GNC's Ultra Mega Green Vitapak. There are six tablets/capsules in little daily packets. There are a couple of multivitamins, a couple of calcium supplements, an omega-3 supplement, and a digestive enzyme supplement. I think it may be the digestive enzyme that makes all the difference. As long as I take the packet with food, I have no problems whatsoever. They are around $35 for a 30-day supply.
