I know people that are taking the craziest vitamin combos, and I don't want to take unnecessary pills if not needed. Especially because I'm afraid of it slowing down the process. Anyone have any ideas?
I take a multipack from costco that I like a lot, with a multi, E, C, B-50 and calcium. A big one that my Dr. told me to add was magnesium it is really important for people on low-calorie diet.
I take one-a-day women's each morning, plus a packet of Emergen-C powder mix (which you mix with water....I mix it and then use it to swallow my pills, haha!). The emergen-c powder is vitamin c with some other good vitamins too. I swear by the emergen-c....when I take it regularly, it keeps me from getting sick. And I used to work one-on-one with disabled/developmentally challenged kids, so we were ALWAYS getting sick with whatever colds and stuff they had. Then I started on Emergen-C, one or two packets a day, and it kept me from getting sick....and whenever I ran out of the packets and went without, literally within three days I was sick as a dog. This has happened to me 3 times now, so now I buy more way before I run out. It's good stuff!!
I think you don't need many pills if you eat healthy, I reckon a multivitamin and calcium is enough, but ask the doc just in case. When I've been feeling really rundown I've had some Floradix herb and iron liquid which seems to give me a bit more oomph
