Tell the truth, how many vitamins do you take daily?

[Demi27]

I take a multi and b-50 complex (for me), Bamboo extract and Biotin (for hair). I was taking the Ultranourish Hair as well, but realized they had mostly the same ingredients as the multi. When I run out of the multi I will take the Ultranourish instead.

 

[Kurly K]

i dont take any i was doing multivits but i got over it

 

[vnaps]

2 evening primrose oil (pms)
1 garlic oil (general wellbeing/shedding)
fish oil irregulary (i dont eat fish)
multi vit irregularly (that was for hair)

 

[Ms. Alainious]

I take 6 per day:

2 GNC Women's Ultra Mega
2 GNC Hair, Skin and Nails
2 Odorless Garlic

 

[GlossMeUp]

unless you go to an alternative med doctor, they will not know jack about vits. Trust.

Gotta take your own health in your own hands. it's very important to do reasearch for starting any vitamin. and let me add that all vits are not created equally....

Thats good point about the alternative doctors...

 

[Toy]

1 Womens One a Day (Pill)
1 Flax seed Oil (Pill)
1 1000mg Biotin (Pill)

Re: Tell the truth, how many vitamins do you consume daily?

Why are you guys taking so many vitamins??? Is that safe??? Are you thinking it will increase hair growth or is it for medical reasons???

I was taking quite a few until I saw an episode of Dr. G Medical examiner and this lady was taking like 50 herbals and vitamins a day and had a reaction from some that did n ot work well together and it was her cause of death. Since then I am sticking to multi, b12 and one hair vitamin and silica

 

[It~Can~Grow]

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

I take 7 so far

- Calcium (my mom has osteoporosis)
- MSM (great for my allergies and arthritis)
- Omega 3's (a blend of borage, fish, and evening primrose)
- Melatonin (helps me to sleep regularly... I'll add Valerian if I'm having trouble resting well)
- Vitamin E
- Garlic oil (great for everything IMHO)
- Ultimate B's (loads of B vitamins)

I want to take glucosomine/chondroitin (my cousin swears by them for joint pain. He's always on the run and he's in his 70s) but I'm sensitive to shell fish... not allergic but I don't feel well after I take them. Something doesn't agree with me.

 

[STLCoverGirl]

Just one- Women's One A Day Weight Smart...that's all I can manage to take.

 

[Lanea87]

So that's 7 but I need to add Calcium/Magnesium back in.

As you can tell, I hate swallowing pills. Will be switching to a liquid multivitamin as soon as I run out of these I have now!

 

[Candycane044]

I just take biotin daily (the capsules). I would like to find a multivitamin that is chewy or liquid because I can't swallow pills. Anyone know of any??

 

[Junebug D]

There are a few liquid brands listed on vitacost.com. I usually buy all my viatmins, supplements, and oils from them anyway.

Multivitamin (2)
B-Complex (1)
Fish Oil (1 or 2)
Evening Primrose Oil 1300 (1)
