ladies who take vitamins

since i am just getting over being sick i decided to get back into the routine of taking vitamins again

i was wondering what you ladies take... i've only taken a multi vitamin (centrum complete) but i was wondering if - as women - this is enough for us

thanks!

i take the generic version of women's one a day, vitamin C in the winter, and a flax seed oil pill for my omega 3s!

---

stupid question - what is omega 3?

I take

-1000 mg of Vitamin C

-a Calcium & Magnesium supplement- the magnesium helps you absorb the calcium better

-One a Day- healthy weight

-Coq10- heart health- one of the leading killers of women

my doc told me to switch to prenatal 4 months before we ttc.. and i didn't even mention anything about it..

Omega-3 is a fatty acid that people take for different things. On the bottle it says it is for immune function. Some people I know take it for digestive health. I take it bc it is a good supplement to improve brain function in babies. . . whenever that time comes!

Are there any vitamins that arent monster size? I hate swallowing pills. I swear it takes me a full cup of water to swallow a nyquil.

---

this is weird and it might just be me- but i take mine with OJ and they seem to go down easier than with water. my mom had suggested it and I dont know if it really works or she just convinced me that it works lol

I have to take the pill with a LOT of water and then eat something right away like a granola bar. If i wait even one second I gag - it is so gross!

yea, I cant take them on an empty stomach- it has to be after I eat or I get sick!

I just take one Centrum a day. I used to take a 1000 Vitamin C everday also. I stopped taking it unless Im starting to feel a little under the weather.

I also used to take a Fish Oil vitamin when my skin was really dry but I'll only take those when my skin is acting up now.

I dont think we need to put alot of extras in our body unless we are lacking something....
