Vitamins

Do you take any and if so what do you take?

Multivitamin vs Individual vitamins?

I try a vitamin schedule about 3 times a year every year. I'll get all motivated and pop RDA every day on a multi-vitamin for about a month or two. Eventually I realize I dont feel any different so I get lazy and my motivation to take them eventually dies out.

A month later I'll repeat the process. This has been going on for about 10 years now

I thought Mega-Men was 3 a day? I used to only take one with the amount of iodine in the vitamins, cleared up my acne after I stopped with the mega mens.

I take a multi-vitamin, B12 complex, ZMA and Glucosmaine with Chondroitin. I also take L-glutamine, which is an amino acid, not a vitamin.

Yes, I forgot to mention flaxseed oil, but only 2 tbsp per day. Damn Zap, you down that stuff big time. That is about 20-25% of your total calories right?

i should revise, it's a essential EFA mix. Borage oil, pumpkin seed, flax, so i get right mix of Omega 6 and Omega 3. In total prolly about 4grms. It's either the pills or the oil, not both.

Centrum chewable multi
Flaxseed oil (substitute for fish oil, which made me burp stinky fish air, subsequently making me want to puke)
Vitamin E
Calcium
Evening Primrose extract (for dry skin)
Vitamin B complex
Folic acid (have to take it for some meds I'm on or else my first-born son will be a gremlin, or something)

Because of my weird skin thing on my hands, I also break open a Vitamin E capsule once a day and rub it on my hands. I have no idea if it's working yet. My hands are still weird.

i like the oil blend because of the packaging etc., there seems to be better protection of the oil from light, air etc., I throw it in my morning glass of cranberry juice.
