Supplement Junkies Roll Call!

[daviine]

Okay--I'm just curious. I take the following supplements:

VS B-5 500mg x 2
VS Biotin 5mg
VS B-Complex 50
PP One Multivitamin
PP C-Complex 1000 mg x2
PP Vitamin E 400 I.U
PP Essential Oils

I have recently started taking my vits again and tried to split them up into three doses. It hasn't been working so far but it goes soemthing like this:

Morning: B5, Biotin, B-Complex 50, C-complex
Afternoon: B5, Multi, Essential Oils,
Evening: Essential Oils, Vitamin E, C-Complex

Som'n like that but I always forget to take the evening set. I'd like to take the MSM as well but man...I just don't know.....

Anyways I'm interested in finding out who the closet supplement junkies are!!!

 

[JenJen2721]

I'm a proud SJ! (supplement junkie)

Here what I take daily

PP Biotin (used to take 5 mgs...cut it down to 3 mgs)
Natrol One a Day Multivitamin (just switched to this brand)
Solgar Hair Skin and Nails (this has 1000 mg MSM)
KAL Super Silica Plus
Essential Fatty Acids (3 x daily)
Zinc 50 mgs
Fo-ti (one a day)

I try to space this out throughout the day...dividing them evenly and taking them with meals. I take the EFA's separately w/a snack.

That's it!
Sometime a take chewable vitamin C, when I feel a cold coming on!

Yes, I believe you are the Grand Prize Winner of this month's Vitamin Junkie Award. Congratulations, you have just won a $50 gift certificate to Trader Joes and Vitamin World...So what do you plan to buy...more vitamins????.

 

[AZJeepgurl]

Daviine,

I hardly consider myself a supplement Junkie, but you be the judge:

-3000 mg of MSM
1000 mg of this is in the Ultranourishair. I really don't think that much is necessary. I will go back to 2000 mg/day when I switch back to my whole food multi-vitamin.

-GNC Ultranourishair - 2x/day
I'm switching back to my multi-vitamin from Whole Foods by Megafood. I don't think Ultra. has a high enough dosage of everything else and I really don't wanna take another pill. As it is, this one is the horse pill from Hell!

-Puritan's Pride biotin - 5200 mcg/day
When I bought the GNC, I didn't realize it had 1200 mcg's of biotin in it. But again, I don't think all that is necessary so I will go back to my original dosage of 4000 mcg/day

-Natural Factors Peach, Passionfruit and Mango flavored Vit C - 1500mg/day

-Solgar B-Complex 100 - 1/day(balanced 100mg of each B vitamin)

Solaray Cool Cayenne - 1/day (600mg)
(For my poor circulation)

That's it for me for now!
