no, I can not remember taking vitamins tabs as a child - I think I was one of the lucky ones - having an old school mother who just loved to give us cod liver oil for what ailed us. there was another potion she would cause us to take, I can not recall the name - but I think it was derived from the rape seed.

Never, and I am not sure why my parents never gave them to us. Maybe because we got enough nutrients, veges and fruits in us I guess. I give them to my son though because he doesn't eat veges at all.

Oh yes, Flintstone vitamins. Everyone wanted Dino, lol. I do still take vitamins and I take herbs as well. I take herbs for my sugar issues, for edema and for my heart. I take garlic daily for example. I also use homeopaths for allergies, colds, etc. I have even used Bach flower essences. I never had cod liver oil, thankfully. Hugs

Yes I took vitamins when I was a child and I still take them. I take a multi vitamin, fever few for migraines and beta carritin (spelling) for bronchitus. My daughter took them when she was a child and then she got older and thought she didn't need them any more. The last time she got sick, she was hit hard with the flu and now she is taking vitamins everyday
