Can't hurt to fill nutritional gaps .

I take Living Green Women's formula. It has essential nutrients + Omegas + other stuff. They're great!
Also:
Cinnamon - great for sugar cravings and keeps blood sugar regulated
D3- Good for your immune system
Evening Primrose - Helps menstrual problems/evens out hormones
B Complex for energy
Apple Cider Vinegar just cause.

When I'm feeling sick I add
Garlic
Zinc

Does anyone take one a day woman's, the one with iron? I bought it recently, but i'm not sure if i should try taking the cow pill or do without it. What are the benefits, besides the things it says on the box? I'm pretty clueless about multivitamins. Any info would be appreciated.

Gummy multivits, an omega-3 & D supp, and CLA.

No diet pills!

I buy the store-brand generic version of either the women's formula or a generic multivitamin. I've tried other formulas too such as dieting support, anti-aging, immune support...

In my experience, the benefits of a multi-vitamin are not usually perceptable. I don't "feel better" when I'm taking a multi-vitamin, and I don't lose weight better, but that's not why I take it. I take it as an insurance policy. I eat as balanced a diet as I can, and I think I do pretty well, but just in case there are some gaps, the vitamin will hopefully bridge those gaps.

Supplements I also take, which do have less subtle benefits are fish oil, niacin, folic acid, and vitamin D - but in most cases my doctor recommended the supplement for specific purposes. The only one I added (after asking my doctor if it was ok) was the fish oil. I had had to discontinue nsaid pain relievers and the tramadol and tylenol weren't controlling the pain. I had read an article about fish oil having been found to help with pain and inflammation, so I asked my doctor and he approved. It took about a month to notice a difference, and it was rather subtle (until the first time I ran out. Within only a few days of being off the fish oil, the pain and stiffness worsened considerably).

I've been on otc and prescription diet medications, and all of them had side effects that were generally worse than any benefits.

I take a multivitamin just because, B complex for energy, and acidophilus (It's a probiotic) for my digestive system. And I SWEAR that I am in a better mood when I take them. I don't know if it's the multivitamin or the B complex but one of them makes me feel happier. I thought I was imagining it at first but when I'm in a crummy mood for no reason I ask myself if I took my vitamins, the answer in that case is usually no.

My usual is a multivitamin, taken somewhat infrequently.

Currently my interest is in helping digestion/reducing systemic inflamation. Primarily to get the most from what I do eat, and to limit the amount that single-celled organisms get to boss me around. I'm taking:
Turmeric (as an anti-inflammatory)
Magnesium (for muscle aches and spasms)
A probiotic, plus kefir/kraut/other live food (for digestive health)
Vitamin D (again, for digestive health, although I've had good luck with it for mood when I don't get enough sunshine)
Ginger and mint teas round out the digestive lineup and seem to provide a good burst of energy and good will.

I ought to take a fish or krill oil, but I find that over time, they make me develop an aversion to pills, and then I don't take the rest.

I take Calcium/Vitamin D/Zinc pills (it's a 3-in-1), Fish Oil & vitamin C. I take magnesium when I feel the need to "regulate my bowels" (OK, gross, but true). Also I take an "Herbal Supplement" that helps with my menopause symptoms. It's all good.

Regarding diet pills... I have taken them in the past. I used to take OTC pills like crazy in high school. A few years ago my doc gave me a prescription diet pill. Yes, I lost weight with it. But it wasn't a lot of weight (like 6 pounds or something) & when I stopped taking them, I gained it right back. I've done better with regular calorie counting & light exercise. I agree with others who warn against them.
