Do you take supplement like vitamins? How about your children?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1258)   ranked 87 out of 24,111 in people 6 months ago

My husband is quite health conscious. He will always take
vitamins. He encouraged my son to take multi-vitamins daily.
I am not so into it. I will take it once in awhile like
fish oil capsules , evening primrose oil and vitamin C.

IN actual fact vitamin E is very good, anti-oksidant.
It also helps to boost our immune system (C & E)

1) Do you take vitamins/ supplements everyday?

2) What vitamins, C, E, minerals?

3) Any particular brands?

4) Do you ensure your children have them too?

5) Chewable or capsule or liquid?

Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!

I've read from several sources that even a very balanced diet doesn't always give you your 100% RDA of all vitamins and my diet is very picky as it is!

I take Multibionta which takes care of pretty much all the vitamins. I also take fish oil (or its veggie equivalent, flaxseed oil) and calcium supplements (which have really positively affected my teeth and nails), but with calcium you have to take it with magnesium or it can cause serious constipation!

I don't have kids yet, but I think when I do I'll make them take a vitamin tablet too.

Not sure if this is available in your country, but if you want your children to have an impressive height, you should make them take a height-booster supplement called Cherifer. It really works!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1258)   ranked 87 out of 24,111 in people  6 months ago

Dear Phaedra,

Glad to hear from you, Happy to meet youw00t

You are having a very good intake of health supplements for your
overall health. It is really good that when you take calcium supplements,
take it together with magnesium - it will helps for better absorption.
Vitamin A, C & E also excellence! For ladies above 25 years old, they
advise to take evening primrose oil daily.

Thanks for sharing, hope to hear your views on my other topics too!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1258)   ranked 87 out of 24,111 in people  6 months ago

Dear IMEzekiel,

Really?? There is supplement for height? Have not heard it before!
Height-booster supplement called Cherifer, sounds interesting. Where
is it from? Is there any side effect. My son is not tall enough for
his age. This will bw really good for him..lol Is it expensive?

I wonder what the China basketball player 'Yow Ming' diet and supplements!

Thanks for sharing a very interesting facts and information!

Hi Iriene,

Appreciating about your good discussion and also again appreciating
you to know more about the vitamins. Generally vitamins are the
chemical components and having all the essential needs of vitamins
and minerals which is used to helps to our body in order to maintain
our body in the good health condition. Most of the time I used to
enjoy my multi vitamin capsules daily after the meal and then also
I am recommending some types of multi vitamins syrup for the kids too.
My favorite brand of vitamins is Centrum and for kids is Kiddi Pharmaton.
Both of the brands are well famous and from good company and having good
value for the money as well as the quality. So try to enjoy your favorite
vitamins for you and the kids in order to maintain your health.

Have a great day.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1258)   ranked 87 out of 24,111 in people  6 months ago

Dear Binthu,

So sorry for my late reply. My Computer CPU had to go to
workshop, ended up have to change 'motherboard'sad
Have to reinstall many softwares, transfer files etc.

Truly agree with you, having all the essential needs of
vitamins and minerals which is used to helps maintain our
body in the good health condition, and strengthen our body
immune system too.

Many myLotters here also take Pharmaton brand. Yes, it is
a reliable brand for its quality.

I take a Vitamin E with zinc every morning. It is suppose to provide all the supplements I will ever need in a day. It has Vitamin C too to ensure the body is strengthened against diseases. How true, I don't know. I have got sick regularly too.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1258)   ranked 87 out of 24,111 in people  6 months ago

It is glad to know that you are taking health supplements
daily. Vitamin A, C , E and zinc are extremely good for health.
They boost our body immune system. However you still need proper
diet, enough sleep and rest with at least 8 glasses of water to
keep our optimum health. I hope by keeping a good healthy routine,
your health will improve!

HI Iriene,

Another interesting topic from you again.

I never take any supplements like vitamins for myself. When I was young, my parents do gave me Scotts Emulsion Orange flavour,but once I grow up, I stopped taking it.
For me, I eat lot of fruits and vegetables and I hope all these are quite sufficient for me to get a healthy life.

As for my son, he is taking Scotts Emulsion since he was 2 years old. I am giving him Orange flavour. I don't think he can't take the Original flavour as I msyelf also dislike the original flavour.
Same time, my son is still taking Gripe water since he was born and till now, he still continue having both gripe water and Scotts emulsion everyday after his breakfast.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1258)   ranked 87 out of 24,111 in people  6 months ago

Dear Shia,

You son is really good, he takes gripe water and Scotts
emulsion everyday after his breakfast.thumbup My son do not like
it at all, even the orange flavour. That is why he is so
skinny - underweight! My husband will asked him to take daily
multi-vitamins and Vitacmin C too. Now he also take yoghurt drink
like Yakult or Vitagen. Cornflakes are also enhanced with vitamins...

So, Shia..perhaps you should consider some vitamins for yourself.
Taking care of family need energy too :)

Hi Iriene, my son gets enough vitamins in his diet not to need supplements but I do give him a 'Brain Booster' each morning which is a childs chewable fish oil capsule. He enjoys it.

I take calcium every day as I hate milk, and cranberry tablets. I take a multi vitamin when I remember but they are grossly huge to follow. Also we both sometimes have soluble vitamin C especailly in the winter. happy

I'm not certain if they do any good at all but the calicum is a must, I just love taking it as it's like chewing chalkthumbdownI have to get them all online from the UK as I can get five time the quantity for the same money I pay here.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1258)   ranked 87 out of 24,111 in people  6 months ago

Dear Thea,

Have some computer breakdown last few days...
Now I am back :)

Oh yes, we ladies need calcium for healthy bones.
My mum drink 'Anlene' a type of milk with high calcium.
You are right, it taste like 'chalk'lol

I am surprised that you managed to get 'calcium' online and
it is cheaper despite the high rate of Sterling Pound. I admire
you for being able to source the right product and the right price!thumbup

Cheers and take care :)

I try to always remember to take my multivitamin and make sure that my daughter takes her daily vitamin, as I feel that they do have some benefits to our health, especially when it gets into the cold & flu season. I personally think that it is a good thing for everyone to take a vitamin supplement of some sort as it also allows for us to get some of the necessary supplements that we may not be getting with our foods. Have a great day.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1258)   ranked 87 out of 24,111 in people  6 months ago

Dear dbabcook,

You are absolutely right! It is good that you and your daughter
have some daily health supplements. This is to ensure that we get
enough daily nutrients that our body need. Our daily food intake
may not be sufficient to provide the vitamins and minerals that
our body require. It is better to take precaution, Health is Wealththumbup

Iriene, my mum will be the one that bug us on the supplement intake. She will tend to buy some vit and keep and reminding us on the daily intake.

Anyway, before my pregnancy, I used to take fish oil, evening primrose and vit C. however during the pregnancy, I stop as what doctor advise. I only had the non acidic Vit C during those period. And now after stop for so long, I am just not so into it to pick it up.

1) Do you take vitamins/ supplements everyday?
No, I take only if I can remember.. lol

2) What vitamins, C, E, minerals?
I will have Vit C, fish oil & evening primrose

3) Any particular brands?
Nope..

4) Do you ensure your children have them too?
Not yet.. but I don't think so..

5) Chewable or capsule or liquid?
I will surely prefer chewable when I was younger, and now capsule.. I never never like the liquid.. even for those medication.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1258)   ranked 87 out of 24,111 in people  6 months ago

ear Cwong,

Sorry for not replying earlier. My CPU ended up at workshop :(
Change new 'motherboard' and I am back :)

I am just like you, not a regular health supplement consumer.
If I remember then I take. If busy, then it is another day!
Vit C, fish oil & evening primrose are really good for ladies.
If possible take some calcium too. I like chewable Vitamin C.
That's why I share the vitamins C with my sonlol


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1181)   ranked 3,899 out of 24,111 in people  6 months ago

Oh Iriene.. I hope your motherboard is not overly stress on the responses you got from MyLot.. lol

BTW, when you mentioned the chewable vit C, it let me recall those days, we got FREE from the Govt hospital, and there is the fruit type, and another type is those very sourish.. now just mentioning about it, my saliva are 'tingling' in my throat.. that's the favourite of us.. lol

Iriene,

My eyesight has deteorate since I became a blogger and now, myLotter. My husband has recently purchased Kordel's Billberry 3000. It's said to be good for the eye-sight. Beside that, I am also taking Amway's Bio C everyday. Guess that is all the supplement that I am consuming. :)


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1258)   ranked 87 out of 24,111 in people  6 months ago

Dear Submerryn,

Your hubby is so caring, get Kordel's Billberry 3000 for you so that
you can improve your eye sight. I heard Amway's supplements are of
very high quality! Eating 'durian' is full of vitamin B! It is advisable
for ladies to take Evening Primrose Oil, however I am a bit lazy when it
comes to vitamins. From now onwards, I must be hardworking to make sure I
have some supplements daily!

Thanks and take care :)

Dear James,

You are really a vitamins and supplements consumer. So many types
and so many brands. It will cost you a fortunelol
Anyway, health is wealth!

I heard fish oil is very good for the heart. By the way how you swallow
so many tablets and capsules. No need to eat your meals?..LOL

Everything should be in moderation...
