Hello everybody, just wondering if anyone knows a good vitamin supplement to take. I read that chronic anxiety droplets you're body of nutrients, plus I don't eat really well. I'm scared of trying some, but maybe a natural supplement would help boost my energy level. If not maybe fruit or vegetable smoothie ideas.

I take magnesium and vitamin D. They seem to work well for me. I am afraid to take just about anything, but those two don't seem to increase my anxiety at all.

I take a 2000IU of vit. D and a Mulit vitamin, I've been thinking about adding Magnesium too the list too but haven't yet. I highly recommend getting your vit. d levels checked, nearly everyone is deficient.

Ill 2nd magnesium and vitamin d, but also add a quality fish oil.

SB,

I like the idea of juicing/blending smothies if your diet is lacking in fruits and veggies.

Fruit, Greek yogurt for protein/creaminess and even spinach and avocado make nutritious additions.

Hope your healthy changes make a positive difference for you.;)

Fish oil is linked with good mental health/ good neurological function, so I suggest taking that! Also a good daily multi vitamin in addition to a good diet

Smoothies are a great place to start if you're anxious about starting supplements. Spinach is a great source of folate, iron and magnesium and blends very nicely with a variety of fruits. I second using Greek yogurt as well. Great source of protein and calcium. Avocados add fiber and general deliciousness :-)

My go to smoothie is spinach, frozen berry blend from Wegman's (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries), a banana, an orange, and yogurt. You'll have to add some liquid to thin it out. I like pure tart cherry juice or coconut/almond milk.

If you're a fan of Pinterest you can spend hours searching for smoothie recipes! It's an excellent way to boost your nutrition!
