  • Where do you get probiotics? I haven 't seen them. I've heard of them.

    I do plain ole calorie counting plus WATP.

    I take 1,000 mg of Vit C daily
    1 multi w/lutein. When it is gone, I'll go back to the ones for old ladies
    1 fish oil capsule
    1 for my joints
    calcium
  • Quote: Which multivitamin do you take, Suzanne?
    I take Dr. Weil's daily multivitamin.


    I eat a vegetarian meal plan, though I can't call myself a vegetarian because I refuse to give up my fish oil. Also, I will eat the occasional piece of fish, maybe once every two months or so. I love lots of veggies and choose organic when possible, and eat as natural as possible.
  • I eat just about anything -- meat, dairy, grains, any fruit or vegetable out there. Obviously I try to eat mostly unprocessed foods, but I eat a little bit of "junk" regularly (candy, alcohol, fast-food french fries, whatever).

    I take:
    multivitamin (generic brand, usually)
    B-complex for energy
    slow-release iron

    I started the iron by my doctors recommendation, and after a few years they decided I didn't need it. But about 6 months ago I was really lacking energy and started taking it again, and I feel a difference. Just wanted to explain, I don't recommend taking iron without asking your doctor! It can have some digestive side-effects and hardly anyone needs extra anyway.

    I've tried to take calcium, too, but I just can't remember to take vitamins more than once per day!! And it doesn't do any good if I take it at the same time as my multi, since that already has as much calcium as I can absorb at once.
  • I take
    -Daily one women's vitamin with iron, Calcium, Magnesium and Beta Carotene.
    (half in the am, Half with Dinner)
    -Body Sense Metabolism bootser made with bitter orange extract, Yerba mate extract, Cayenne pepper, and green tea extract (2 each morning)
    -Body Sense fat and carb blocker made with cassia nomame and gymnema (20 mins before each meal)
    -5-htp (with breakfast and lunch)
    -Evening Primrose oil ( am)

    The other additional supplements I try to get natural through the foods I eat, teas I drink and whatnot.

    I good book for supplement info is 'The bodysense Natural Diet' I highly recommend it!!!
