Hi All,
I've tried multivitamins here and there throughout various points in my life... but none really ever spoke to me and once the bottle ran out I never felt the need to go replace them.

I went to Trader Joe's and noticed they had a huge bucket of vitamin packets...a Vitamin C sustained release tablet, 4 minerals tablets, a Vitamin E one, a Beta Carotene one, and a B-Complex100 tablet. I've been staggering taking them throughout the day so as not to overwhelm my body with them but I have to say... I feel really good. More energy, more stamina, my menstrual cramps were less horrible than usual and just overall feel the most decent I have in a while.

Not sure if I will commit to taking 7 pills everyday for the rest of my life...may have to find one really good multivitamin that does all the above. But I was curious, what, if any, multivitamins and/or supplements do you take? Do you notice they make you feel different?

I'm like you...tried some fish oil here...B vitamin there...Stress Tabs, L-Theanine...ect.

...but never stuck with a regimen.

Probably should...although most doctor's will say if you are eating a healthy diet...a multi a day will suffice...unless your CBC has shown any deficiency.

...of course who eats healthy that consistently, right? ;p

Hi

Yes I have tried a multi vitamin and do find they do work I take Wellman multivitamin but my doctor said you should not continually take them as you can actually overload your body with two much vitamins so I tend to leave 3 months between doses.

Do your homework...

"But across the board, peer-reviewed, placebo-controlled scientific studies have consistently shown that vitamin supplements don’t prevent disease. And, in some cases, they might increase your risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality."

Than again, I take a multi and five others....

Best to take a multi vitamin to ensure balance. True, vitamins do not correlate to longevity but popping a multi every couple days with a meal so it's absorbs better can't hurt and if it makes you feel better all the more power to you.

i thought fish oil helped with pain in my knees, but i think it's more of a placebo effect as i have discontinued it and havent had pain for a few years, only on occasions when i sit for long periods and cant stretch, same as when i was on the fish oil.

i have been told for as long as i can remember to take vitamin d since i live in the midwest and we have winter. no test had every been done but the docs just say take it. but i work outside everyday and get 12 hours of sun so i never bothered to take any. i just had a vitamin d test done as part of a separtae panel and it came up at 28, which from what i understand is on the low end of normal, "normal" being 20-50 according to the sheet they gave me.i cant remember the units, but they did recommend supplementing with vitamin d even though i'm in range. anyone know anything about vitamin d other than ive been told d3? i havent been told how much or often to take it
