What is your way of eating and do you take any supplements?

I eat vegan, whole foods, low carb.

I take Rainbow Light Just Once Women's One Multivitamin/Mineral. I break it in half and take it with food at different times of the day.

I take chromium picolinate and have just started taking L-carnitine and L-glutamine again.

I love L-theanine (for anxiety relief) and occasionally take it.

A few times a week I take an Emergen-C MSM/Lite packet with water.

I need to replenish my calcium, magnesium and potassium supplements and get going on those again too.

There are so many more things I take on occasion but these above, I have been in the habit of taking regularly.

What about you?

I take
vit c/am & pm
multi B/am
pantothanenic acid (B5)/pm--suggested by You on a Diet
calcium/magnesium + D/pm--suppose to aid in sleep
chromium picolinate/am
fish oil/am & pm
vit E/pm
Zinc/am
cinnamon supplement/am **

**Cinnamon is said to be great at stabilizing blood sugar which I guess Chromium also affects.

I take meds for nutrition/weight loss and depression supplementation, but it is so easy to get obssessive and go overboard.

Edited to Add: I'm a calorie-counter that goes between weight loss and maintenance mode, depending on how stable the scale is. Emphasis on lean proteins, high fiber, lots of veggies, moderate fruit, and whole grains.

I take:

A One-A-Day Women multivitamin (even though, based on FitDay, I'm hitting my vitamin/mineral targets just about every day without it)
Acidophilus - 2x per day
If I have trouble sleeping, I sometimes take some Valerian extract.

You reminded me...I forgot to mention probiotics!!!

I take fish oil capsules, a good daily multi-vitamin, and 100mg CoQ10.

Which multivitamin do you take, Suzanne?

I eat mostly vegetarian food with the occasional meal of fish or free-range organic chicken. I try to eat whole foods and buy mostly organic.

I take

~3 fish oil capsules, Spectrum brand

~4 multi-vitamin capsules (one serving), Nature Preferred brand

I also use my neti pot daily to keep my allergies at bay.

I also use a Neti pot and eat whole foods and organic.

Zenor's the only one mentioning an eating plan.

I'd like everyone to chime in, I'd like to see what/how people eat and what supplements they take in conjunction with that, please!

You know Neti is a LIFE SAVER for me! I try so hard to avoid chemicals in food that I feel bad taking OTC medicines that I'm not so certain are good for me, so I avoid them as much as possible. Neti pots should be stressed as daily health care, like brushing your teeth.

I agree. I am all about prevention and not just masking symptoms.

Yes, brushing your teeth with Jason, Kiss My Face or Weleda, preferably.

I do intuitive eating and take all of the below daily:

(1)Equate Women's Multi

(2)1200mg Fish Oil Capsules

(1)250 mg Magnesium Capsule

My eating plan is whole, unprocessed foods, organic as much as possible, with an emphasis on healthy fats, loads of veggies, and I have a sensitivity to wheat so i avoid it as much as possible. It won't kill me, but it effects my allergy symptoms so I do my best.

In addition,
I take rainbow light's women's nutritional system (a 6 a day multi, but i only take 3)
1 teaspoon daily of carlson's cod liver oil (lemon flavored, straight, i don't mix it with anything, i'm hardcore )
a 1 daily probiotic

I also occasionally take super nutrition's think clearly (ginkgo + aminos and b vitamins. helps with the brain fog i get when i DO eat wheat)

I eat South Beach diet. Daily supplements that I take are:

• Centrum Silver-Don't want the iron in other vitamins since I've had a hysterectomy.
• Salmon Oil from Vital Choice 1000mg/ day
• Glucosamine/Chondroitin 1500mg./day for mild arthritis
• Daily aspirin
• Zyflamend or Turmeric Force
• Calcium 500mg/daily

I love going to the healthfood store and reading up on supplements. I have tried chromium in the past but didn't see any results for increasing muscle mass. I also took DHEA supplements last year (recommended by my nurse practicioner with bio-identical hormones), but quit taking it also. She said it would help energy levels, but I haven't had a problem with that since losing weight, exercising and getting my other hormones worked out.
