Do You Take Vitamins?

I take a variety also on a daily basis, but some I keep just for certain conditions. I have Fibromyalgia and Arthritis so I have a very hard time getting around some days and exercise is sometimes out of the question. Though I eat regularly, I don't really eat a lot of food to help keep my weight down. So I take a broad spectrum multi vitamin & mineral every morning. Since people with Fibro are usually low on Magnesium I also take a little extra, it also helps keep swelling in my joints down to a minimum. I tend to be a bit anemic so I take an extra iron supplement too. I also take my cod liver oil for the Omega 3s and other benefits. During the winter when there isn't a lot of fresh fruit available I will take a little extra vitamin C. I have a problem with insomnia on occasion so I always keep Valerian capsules and Chamomile tea round. But the rare times when these won't take care of it I keep a small bottle of Melatonin. That always works for me and it doesn't take much, 1 mg will usually have me snoozing in no time. If I don't take my supplements there is a noticeable difference within a couple of days. I feel very lethargic and exhausted all the time. I have enough health problems so I try to head off any extra problems by keeping myself as healthy as I can.

I have a habit of taking vitamin C every morning. My health really improves a lot and I seldom get flu or cold after I have started practicing this habit. I think supplements do help in boosting our immune system to certain extent. But always bear in mind,don't overeat or take overdose supplements. That's for sure is harmful to our body.

I don't take special vitimines, I just eat foods that contain the viimines that I think I need.

Yes, I take multi-vitamins too , once a day , after lunch. Centrum is the brand. I feel refreshed after taking a caplet.
