Do you take vitamins and/or supplements as part of your daily regiment? My doctor has me on a multi, Calcium plus vitamin D, and extra vitamin D. When my husband worked with a trainer they had him take the same, plus fiber, and fish oil.

Yes I do.

I take fish oil, Multivitamin, Calcium, CoQ10, Probiotics etc.

A good website to check out is www.consumerlab.com it's a lab that tests different supplement and vitamins to make sure they are giving you what they say they are or aren't giving you toxic levels of certain things in them. It's a little frightening some of the vitamins on the market have toxic levels of lead in them and such. Also if you don't like to have 50 bottles of different supplements another good site is www.vuru.com where you can create your own daily pack from the types of supplements you want.

Hi Lisa! I do take a multi-vitamin and when I remember I also take my calcium and Omega 3-6-9. Of course, lately I've been horrible about taking them, so maybe that is one of the reasons why I felt a bit run down!
