What mulivitamin works 4 you??
 
Right now i am taking Prenatal pills.. No i am not pregnant but i was loosing my hair and after about 3 months it started helping that problem. Well my question is what kind of vitamins are yo taking im thinking about changing or adding to the prenatal. I also wanted to know how many of you take omega 3 aka fish oil. Someone told me they take it and also how good it is for you. I think eww fish oil. But hey if it will help me i will take it> I would just have to have it in a pill form..

So thats it what kind of vitamins are you taking and do you like it and what does it do for your diet,, :hug::hug:thankz

I take a gummy multi for adults. The regular multi vit's that I had to swallow made me feel really sick to my stomach, but the gummy ones don't seem to do that.

Cheap ones from walmart is what my doctor said to take.

I take the "once daily" vitamins (generic, from drug store). There are also some good Omega-3 supplements in a chewable form called Omega-3 Soft Chews from GNC. Those have NO icky taste! But they do have some sugar. I also take a calcium/magnesium supplement and extra vitamin D (dr's orders).

I always take them with a meal because I get nauseated if I take them on an empty stomach. This is common with vitamins.

Good luck!

I do not take a multivitamin regularly, though I do have some and occasionally I'll pop one for the heck of it. I keep tabs on my general nutritional targets through FitDay and I regularly hit all of them, so I don't think a multi is necessary.

I do take a fish oil supplement. I take 4 to 8 grams per day of salmon oil that I get in caplets from Trader Joe's.

I also take a calcium-magnesium supplement since osteoporosis runs in my family, and 2000 IUs of vitamin D. I think vitamin D supplementation is extremely important.

I take 'One-A-Day Women's'. I've been taking it for over a year now and I like it just fine. I get it at Costco - $15 for 250 pills. :)

I don't take any other pills, fish oil, omega's, etc.

I take generic Centrum Cardio vitamins. I also take a fish oil supplement as my doctor requested. I buy what's on sale - as long as it says 'no mercury and no fish burps'.

Is it ok to take a multivitamin if on the birth control pill?

momof2kz 04-19-2010 08:52 PM

I donate blood and a few times in the past I wasn't able to because my iron was low. They recommended Flinstones Chewables with Iron - honest - and to take it with orange juice. Well, since I've done that I've never had a problem with low iron.

I take the generic CVS brand of VitaCraves gummy vitamins for adults.

wow thanks guys these are truely helpful.. i use to take the women energy pack from gnc the only side affect is it makes you pee flourecent yellow lol... I tried the one a day energy and to me it smelt like paint and i could not make myself take it. I also tried the flinstones but after my hair started coming out i switched to prenatal I guess since my hair is fine now i should go back to flinstones i really like the fact that they have omega 3s in gummies because burping fish oil is so not sexy..lol

lizziep 04-20-2010 02:26 PM

i take a chewable Centrum multivitamin, Vitamin D (not enough sun in oregon), Vitamin E (for fibrocystic breasts) and I'm supposed to take iron but it really hurts my stomach. might have to check out the flinstones ones.
