vitamin supplements (no solicitation of medical advice)
I feel like after I've taken all these pills there's no room for food.

Calcium w/ Vit D
iron
B complex
Zinc
Omega 3
acidophillus
Vitamin C

I'd probably be better off w/ a good multi w/ some added iron for good measure

Do you folks take supplements?

1. yes, quite a few actually
I take them with every meal...you could break up the amount you take, spread them out. :-)

3. At my cardiologist's "suggestion" (order) I take 4-1200mg fish oils/ day, and
I added 1 generic multivitamin/mineral tablet similar to Centrum, and 1 D complex additional. Also 1 regular coated aspirin.
I'm also on a very high protein-low carb diet, which isn't so bad because I cheat.

4. I take a multivitamin, calcium, chromium, fish oil
and sometimes a fiber tablet to keep me regular. Seems to work! :)

5. I take Centrum Silver and a B complex.
Don't know if they do me any good. :shrug:

6. Fish Oil, B-complex, and Calcium/Magnesium
Extra Vit C when I'm feeling a cold starting, and acidophillus if I take antibiotics and need recover from that. Doesn't sound too unreasonable to me... :hug:
