Do you take supplement like vitamins? How about your children?

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.

My hubby also is health no easy to sick.But me is very bad if my girl sick i take care her one or two day me will sick same with my girl.But me no eat any brand vitamin.my girl to take multi-vitamins daily. 1)me no take vitamins/ supplements everyday.But my girl is very day eat multi-vitamin. 2)this i no very know 3)my girl eat is for brand i forget ready.But i know at famasi or guardian also can get. 4)no. 5)perfer chewable

Yes I take supplements, I take gluthathione for my liver and its an antioxidant. I take vitamin c to prevent me from flu and other illness and I take vitamin e for healthy younger skin. My parents drink eye supplement like lutein because they already have eye conflication. They said it works for them even eye berry.

i used to take centrum but i found out that during my monthly period i would need to used an adult diaper changed every 2-3 hours for 4 days and night sanitary pads for the remaining 5 days. had always had long periods of monthly visits but not that hard flowing. this happens whenever i would pop a vitamin pill. so, i just resort to the vitamins that tang juice drink has. believe me there are and they work. proof is that am not calcium deficient because of just a glass of this fortified delicious drink. as for my kid i don't give him vitamins anymore since almost everything he takes in are fortified and i read something about one overdosing in some vitamins that can be bad for the liver or something...

We adults tend to forget ourselves for we put our children first before us. We should not. We should still continue nurturing ourselves. How can we take care of the people around us if we do not take care of ourselves. We cannot give back if we do not fill our needs first. Taking care of ourselves like taking vitamin supplements is a good way to be healthy. Vitamins should not just be for the kids but for the grown-ups as well.

Before, yes! I take various vitamins. I remember taking a growth supplement called Cheriffer (not sure if I spelled it right) but it really works 'cause now I'm the tallest among all of my family members.

i don't take vitamins. i am lazy person. i always just easily forget to continue taking vitamins after i started. i feel it is like a big task to take those vitamins everyday.

I take vitamins and have taken them for many years. I take daily vitamin c, b complex, vitamin e and acidophilous. I had bad headaches for years that put me in the bed, now I rarely have a headache. I will be 54 years old next month and weight barely 120 pounds. I have fun taking care of my 4 year old grand daughter. I am busy every day. Happy MyLotting.

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. 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 chalkI have to get them all online from the UK as I can get five time the quantity for the same money I pay here.

i let my children to take vitamins daily since it helps boost their immune system from sickness. I never drink vitamins myself because no matter what kind of vitamins i'll be taking, i easily gets fat at it.

Hi Iriene, I don't have a health freak hubby here, but he does buy some supplement home if happen his friends approach him. He bought some supplement from Amway, Nuskin and Ni Life before. What is annoy me is he bought but he does not take the supplement. SO I have to feed him the supplement everyday. But sometimes he will give many excuses and refuse to take it. Or else they just sit in the fridge and I see some of them are going to expire soon. I worry now is he does not take the supplement on time and he could not get the effect properly. Right now we have Lecithin E Essential fatty acid food and wholefood wheatgrass & Alfalfa at home. For my children, I have just bought a bottle of Champs Multivitamin supplement. It is lysine chewable. They treat it as sweet and they like it and always want to take more and more. So I have to control them not to eat over the dosage.

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.

Yes Iriene, I am health conscious. 1. Yes. 2. Multi-vitamins and multi-minerals, fish oil,extra vitamins C, E,and B-complex plus health supplements. 3. Kordel, 21st Century, Alterni and Total Health Concept 4. Yes. 5. For my son it is chewable. For me it is tablets and capsules

I don't have kids. But yes, I take vitamin supplements daily. I have vitamin C & B complex. They are really helpful.

No i dont take any suplements for myself. I have taken during pregnancy period as per the recommendations of my doctor but now i dont take any. I do give some supplements on a daily basis to my children like calcium tablets and homepathic tonics like alfalfa. These are mainly for coverng up basic requirements of vitamins and minerals.

i take tablet vitamin c regularly. it helps a lot, my sinus is less than years ago and i feel a lot better. if i have a choice i will take lypo-spheric vitamin c. i read in http://www.squidoo.com/lypo-spheric-vitamin-c that this kind of vitamin c is the effective in the market. it helps people with many serius health issues.

I never felt any need for such things because at home we always have well balanced food. My family is highly health conscious people and so we depend on lot of natural foods. Luckily for us no doctor is on our payroll till today. Our daily intake includes lot of various types of vegetables, fish, dry fruits, honey, seasonal fruits including bananas which is a must. Yoghurt, buttermilk, barley water. All types of spices like cinnamon, ginger, garlic, cloves etc. At the same time we are not that fussy or finicky types. When at friends place we eat what ever is available.

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.. 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.

As a child i ALWAYS got vitamin C and omega oils from about 1-4 times a week, and it didnt hurt it jsut made me more active

I take vitamins because I had weightloss surgery and several medical problems including cancer. I would be lost without them. I take multivitamin, iron, calcium and a b12 sublingual each day.
