Do you have a cupboard full of Vitamins and Supplements?

me too. i have lots of vitamins and supplements. i just take few tablets and sometimes i forgot to take it. anti oxidants, vitamin c, calcium, minerals, etc. but i wish i can have everything in one capsule, all in one. i know there are multivitamins but the percentage is not enough for the daily needs.

My mom is very into health, so we have a pretty impressive collection of vitamins and supplements. We have everything from vitamin A to zinc. :) Plus we had lots of natural alternatives for meds, like kava kava which is a natural form of tylenol or aspirin. We have seratonin as a natural antidepressant. We have melatonin for sleep aids. We have tons of anti aging capsules and body flushers. You should see the ammount of vitamins my mom takes in a day, it is craziness. I just stick to my multivitamin and vitamin c, it's a lot easier and seems to do the job.

I don't have a whole cupboard of vitamins. Just started taking vitamin C pastilles, which are a lot easier to eat, and a lot yummier than pills. :) Interesting that your daugther is a vegan and a competitive swimmer! I always thought swimmers had to eat a lot of meat protein to build muscles. but then again tofu has lots of protein as well. :)

Hi! I actually don't take any vitamins or supplements. I used to take a multi-vitamin but was actually getting too much of a lot of the vitamins and minerals and it simply was a waste. At times I'll take extra vitamin C if I'm getting the sniffles. As a vegan myself, I'm very sorry to hear your daughter is not taking the diet as seriously as she should. I went vegan at fifteen and it's what made me teach myself to cook. Does she know how to cook or does she even have a good, general understanding of nutrition? I've been vegan for six years and was in college for two years for dietetics. If you'd like I can get some information for your daughter to help her out. If not, that's fine too, but I hate when I see people ditch the lifestyle simply because it's harder to keep up with than the American meat-and-potatoes diet. Also, another great way to get Omega-3s is flaxseed oil (or any products with this in them, I know of some soymilks with Omega-3s) and walnuts. Both are great sources of natural Omega-3 fatty acids. Fish is kind of a second hand source, since they do not produce it themselves but actually eat it and pass it on to those who eat the fish. There's actually a really good natural margarine (that is vegan, as well, so your daughter could eat it) called Natural Balance that is made with flaxseed oil and is a great source as well. Good luck with everything...I hope the supplements work out for you and I hope your daughter can get a little more adept with her lifestyle.

I take a lot of vitamins and supplements. I take a multi-vitamin and then C, E, D, calcium and any others that I happen to have at the time. I took fish oil for awhile and Q something, I don't remember what it was called. I hope it wasn't for memory. I fall a lot so I always try and take the Calcium and the D (it is supposed to help you absorb the calcium). Hopefully this will keep me from breaking bones when I fall. I don't take much Iron though as it doesn't seem to agree with me. Even when I get the multi-vitamin it can't have iron.

Hello Jenny Bianca, You know you fall into a category many people are in presently. That is taking a whole host of supplements.Now I believe in good supplementation but of prime importance is a nutritional diet.However, even those of us who eat what we call nutritional diets are nutrient deficient.I am sure you remember the adage:"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" Well because of our depleted soils it is now "10 apples a day keeps the doctor away". In other words even those who eat healthy are not getting the sufficient amounts of vital vitamins and minerals our body needs. What your daughter and all of us need is a proper multivitamin and multimineral supplement.One that has the sufficient amounts of nutrients to give us optimal health.Some may think this is expensive but I have found an awesome company that you can network with that will pay you commissions that can easily cover your monthly supply of supplements.Thus you eventually get it free.To get more info check out my web page by copying and pasting the link below in your web browser http://www.squidoo.com/Best-Health-Supplements Yours In Health and Wealth, Jonathan Khan.

We have some of the vitamin and supplements around, although we have never done a lot with that kind of thing. Actually I do good if, on occasion, I take a daily multi-vitamin.

Oh that's so funny. I take Omega3 Fishy stuff capsules too. The only other vitamin I take are fiber pills. Apparently I don't get enough fiber in my diet. Keep that girl of yours healthy now.

My cupboard is not full of them but I do have some vitamins, pain medication and supplements in my cabinet though. I do not have a whole lot of them. I need to buy some more different kinds though.

I have at least four different vitamins in my medicine cabinet. Which I take everyday.

not really, the only vitamins i have in storage are the vitamins i have for my kids. i am not someone who takes vitamins..i go for foods rather, i have plenty of fruits and veggies in store in the ref :D

I have a cupboard of vitamins and medicines because I easily got sick. I maintained vitamins C and Bcomplex, antioxidants and Calcium. I prepared some medicines for headache, fever and flu.

Hi jennybianca, No, I do not have a cupboard that full of Vitamins and supplements. I, myself, and my family members only have a can of vitamin C with liver oil at home and that is it. We do not eat it regularly but only when we have a cold or flu. My doctor said if we have a healthy diet, we do not need to take any supplement or vitamins, as it causes damage to our body, too. Those vitamins or minerals that do not melted in water will stay in our body and harm our intestine, liver and so on. Supplements and vitamins are mainly for those who have serious sickness and cannot absorb enough nutrient from food or they even can't eat food by themselves. As a result, I only had a can of vitamin C with liver oil at home. Good health and best wishes, agonyaunt69 (11:53pm 15 Dec 2009, Hong Kong time)

In this age of stress and viruses, taking supplements is a necessity. I take Vitamin supplements with advice from my doctor. It is good to take vitamin C or B complex supplements to boost your immunity. On the other hand, if you can plan it well, you can consume foods rich in Vitamin C and B complex to increase immunity. Other supplements like you have stated may be used with the doctors advise and according to which ones may be beneficial to you. Care also has to be taken that the supplements do not result in an excess of a certain vitamin since it could be harmful.

No I do not have a cupboard full of vitamins and supplements. We do take vitamins and supplements but we only take one vitamin and two supplements each day. I have to buy some about every 4 to 6 weeks it depends on the size of bottle I can afford to get when I run out.
