What vitamins do you take and why?

I take a multi-vitamin but I'm wondering if I should take a couple of other supplements as well. What do you take and why?

Re: What vitamins do you take and why?

I take a Calcium supplement (though I am not as good about taking it as I should) because I worry that I am not getting enough calcium.

Re: What vitamins do you take and why?

I take flintstones complete... the only reason I take these is b/c I can't really swallow pills and these are chewable!

Re: What vitamins do you take and why?

I take a mult-vitamin and two vitamin c tablets a day (to equal 500mg). I take the extra vitamin C because it really does help give me a boost everyday. So much so that I don't even really drink coffee anymore. Plus, I work with children and have a baby, so any extra fight I can get against germs is A-OK by me.

Re: What vitamins do you take and why?

I take Women's One A Day.

I don't believe in taking a huge amount of vitamins over and above the daily recommended value. But as long as the vitamin is water-soluble (like vitamin C for example) it's not a big deal to take extra- if it's too much, you can just pee it out.

I worry about taking huge overdoses of the fat-soluble vitamins such as Vitamin D, E, A, etc. (like when people take 500% daily value)- the extra will accumulate in your fat tissue, and there are problems with taking too much of these.

Re: What vitamins do you take and why?

I take a b complex, calcium and folic acid daily

Re: What vitamins do you take and why?

I take a one a day Multi for women which gives an added boost of calcium and folic acid

Ginko for my memory and Niacin.

edited to add:

"Niacin is important for the release of energy from carbohydrates and fats, the metabolism of proteins, making certain hormones, and assisting in the formation of red blood cells."

I take a multi-vitamin, calcium and vitamin C. I am concerned that I may not get enough calcium during the day and the vitamin C makes me feel better each day.
