Title: What vitamins do you take each day!?!
Post by: MommaB on February 25, 2011, 10:57:51 AM: Hey everyone!!

I'm curious what vitamins you take each day and how much of each!?!

I've been taking a "cocktail" of vitamins for about 2 years now and want to know if what I'm taking is on the right track...AND what everyone else is taking!! 8)

Here's mine: One a Day for Women; 2000mg. Vitamin C; 1000mg. Calcium; 2400mg. (2 capsules) fish oil; Super B complex; 1000mg. cinnamon

I take mine in the evening before I go to bed because the fish oil and cinnamon repeat!! lol ;D

I used to eat gummy ones because they didn't upset my stomach, but I stopped when I began FTS. They were 3 carbs for 2 vitamins and it just wasn't worth it to me. Now I'm taking Centrums Ultra Women's vitamins. Not sure if they're making much difference, but I figured they couldn't hurt.

Post by: ShihTzuMom1 on February 28, 2011, 03:23:35 PM: WOW SHERRIPIE!!! Your family must be so proud of you. We will all do a happy dance for you. 160 pound weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) is amazing. You must be due for a huge shopping spree!!
Title: Re: What vitamins do you take each day!?!
Post by: Rena on February 28, 2011, 03:33:57 PM: CONGRATS, SHERRIPIE!

I haven't noticed any new weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) since taking these vitamins, but hopefully it will help. I have to make sure I take them with food because they upset my stomach if I don't. That's why I liked the gummy ones because they didn't bother me. Wish I could find some SF/carb-free gummy ones.

Post by: SherriPie on March 01, 2011, 08:22:09 AM: Thank you all for all the sweet comments. :)

Owensmath if I could cook like you I probably would have lost less too. You know me, if I can't nuke it or buy it pre-made, then I can only burn it. ;)

Post by: umpa on March 01, 2011, 09:07:57 AM: Rena I am sure they make gummy vitamins sugar free.There are alot of kids that are diabetics.Sad,but true. ;)
Title: Re: What vitamins do you take each day!?!
Post by: Rena on March 01, 2011, 10:22:12 AM: Thanks, Umpa. I'll keep looking for them. I know Costco sells a SF kid's chewable. I'll check the carbs on that. For some reason, the regular tablets have always upset my stomach. The only ones that didn't were Herbalife. Hopefully, I can find some SF gummies.

Post by: MommaB on March 01, 2011, 11:58:10 AM: I don't know if this helps, Rena, but I take all of my vitamins at night so they don't upset my stomach! I started to doing that when I was pregnant and EVERYTHING made me sick, even water!! lol

Maybe it would help!!! :D

Post by: mmcooks1234 on March 12, 2011, 08:54:22 AM: Opinions are welcome...

I take Vit. D3 1000iu, Flaxseed Oil in pill form 1300mg, Calcium 333mg (w/ Zinc 5mg, Vit D3 200iu, Magnesium 133 mg), and Vit C 1000mg.

Is this enough? Too much?
Title: Re: What vitamins do you take each day!?!
Post by: umpa on March 12, 2011, 09:03:53 AM: mmcooks vitamin c (ascorbic acid) cannot be absorbed by the body and is better to get through foods(sauerkraut is full of vitamin c).In studies 95 % of what you take you pee out in a couple of hours.If you are looking for a cold/flu preventative echinecia tincture is a better choice ;)
