I was wondering if anyone of you whole foods chicks beside me take supplements. I know the point of a whole foods diet is to get nutrition 'naturally' but I do take a couple as insurance. I take a multivitamin, a green tea extract supplement (since I'm terrible at drinking tea most days), and a fish oil capsule.

I take a multivitamin and 500 mg of calcium daily. I'm over 50 so the DRA of calcium is lik3 1200-1500 and I figure I get enough of the rest from my food. I took some glucosamine for awhile, but I didn't think it did much for me. We eat a lot of salmon and walnuts, so I think I'm good on Omega 3's.

I try to remember to take a multi-vitamin which I actually DO remember about 3x week. I should take calcium but yuck! I probably should add fish oil too but truthfully, I hate pills and supplements. I'm sort of the all natural type.

Oh yeah the calcium. I take a couple extra strength TUMs most days, but it is usually for heartburn so I don't think of it as a supplement. But I does double duty there!

I take a woman's multivitamin withe extra calcium and I also take an extra folic acid pill (to prepare for pregnancy). I have supplements added to my fruit smoothies every morning - a couple of proprietary blends, with major ingredients being chromium and ginseng. I'm pondering a fish oil supplement as well, but seeing if I can get enough into my diet via food first!

Finally, though this isn't exactly a supplement, its not exactly food - I get a 1oz shot of fresh wheatgrass juice every morning.

I take a multivitamin daily, 2 calciums and 1 vitamin D (doctor's orders). I also take fish oil on the days I don't eat fish. My doctor suggested taking a Tums with every meal that I don't have calcium, but I always forget, so I take calcium pills instead. I know you're supposed to take the calcium with a meal, but I forget that, too. I take all my vitamins at night because they make my tummy feel icky when I take them in the morning.
