I used to but haven’t for years. I get the nutrients I need to sustain the life force in my body by eating a wholesome and balanced intake of healthy and nutritious food choices from various plant and animal sources.
Yes and d3, calcium, B complex, biotin, Reversetrol, Q 10, EFAs, and a probiotic, as well as what my diabetologist calls the standard cocktail of Lisinipril, Simvastatin, for me Levothyroxin.
Yes, I do. Why? Because my body deserves all the nutrients it can get and I know I am not eating enough fruits and veggies to do that.
I also have switched to the gummy form of vitamins because the pill forms are huge and I have literally choked trying to swallow them. Who needs that?
I also take acidophilis, collagen, calcium & zinc, magnesium, baby aspirin, C, eye care, fish oil, as well as a multiple for 50+ age women. Sometimes I take easy iron and next I might consider Ginko Biloba. Who knows if this is too much of a good thing, but it gives me peace of mind that I am trying to stay well.
I don’t take a multivitamin, but I do use several supplements. I take salmon oil for antioxidants & Vit D3, a small dose of calcium, a combo of biotin, selenium, and zinc for my hair, and magnesium citrate for leg cramps. Also a probiotic blend for women.
No. My endo said if I’m eating a balanced diet and getting exercise, a multivitamin is unnecessary. I trust him and I do not like to throw a pill at something that can be corrected with wise eating decisions.
