I take prenatals and DHA. I have no clue if they're helping or not but we would like to TTC in the semi-near future so I figure it's good to get in the habit.

I have a nutritionist and we have worked together to increase my health for the past year (previously had a few health problems).
I take entirely too many supplements, but I feel AMAZING!

• 14 billion CFU probiotic
• 3,000mg L-lysine
• 760mg Echinacea
• Super B-complex
• 1,000mg buffered vitamin C
• D-3 (2,000 IU)

Night
• 14 billion CFU probiotic
• 3,000mg L-lysine
• 760mg Echinacea
• 1,000mg buffered vitamin C
• 2,000mg fish oil

Multi-vitamin, fish oil supplement, and sea buckthorn supplement.

I don't know if the multi-vitamin does much, but I figure it won't hurt. Jury's still out on the sea buckthorn supplement (and the sea buckthorn body wash) - I'm not sure yet if it's helping the skin condition I'm taking it for. Fish oil seems to help my skin and reduces cramping during TOM.

Does anyone take Cod Liver Oil tablets? I'm thinking of starting to take them just as a basic supplement.

I take a multivitamin daily and benefiber since I am doing the South Beach Diet and don't seem to get quite enough fiber.

I totally notice when I don't take my multi vitamin and have to say that the benefiber helps keep me feeling full.

A multivitamin with probiotics. The probiotics boost my immune system and stop me catching other people's colds.

Me too! I take prenatals (even though I'm neither pregnant nor expecting). They're infused with more vitamins than your average daily multi-vitamin.

(Regardless what you choose, please consult your doctor or nutritionist before taking any kind of supplement.)
