I take a daily multi, St Johns Wort, Calcium, and some others...I always worry I should see a dietician but I try to cover the bases.

The best way to get vitamins is though food,not vitamins pills or a dietician.At the same time you must have a good healthy diet.And eat more fruits and vegetables!

Oatmeal, citrus and apples are very good. Tea is ok as a diuretic to flush out your liquids but must be taken only occasionally as it makes your bone brittle. Smile. Have a nice day.. ('_')

Green tea is so full of minerals that it counteracts bone brittleness; in fact, it promotes bone density. Yet another reason green tea rules. :)

I take a multivitamin for women once a day. I also take fish oil because I dont eat fish and it is supposed to be good for the heart, vitamin b complex because I am anemic. My diet isent the best, I usually skip breakfast and I dont have dinner till late (8pm) because of work and I pretty much snack durring the day.

Oh hey, you don't need to eat fish to get that "fish nutrient". You can get it just the same, if not richer, from flax seed oil. To warn you, it does smell a bit fishy. (There's a reason fish smell like they do, after all! But hey, if you get flax oil from seeds, no fish have to die.) And yeah, I understand anemia. It can be tiring. Do you get enough B vitamins?

When I was pregnant, I took the typical Prenatal vitamins. Years ago, I took Potassium pills because I wasn't getting enough potassium in my system. It definitel helped my knees from aching.

It is good Multi vitamins and calcium is good after child birth woman should start taking calcium and after 40yrs better to start multi. It is better to get our vitamins from natural resource but some time that may not be enough for our body so we take muti, iron supplement, calcium etc.... if you want to see dietitian you can they will recommend with proper diet plan.

Calcium and Iron are both important for your body but they remain dormant and un-absorbed if they do not react with other amino-acids. The body must have high amounts of protein, specially Carnosine (often in red meat like beef), so that they can "ride" on the protein for the Calcium to reach the bones and for the Iron to go to the muscles. According to the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA), you must drink full-cream milk, not low-fat, to get maximum results.
