I just ordered a vitamin that I haven't taken in quite awhile. The vitamin is actual a multi-vitamin, and I won't be taking the recommended dose. The recommended dose is two per day, one in the morning and one at night. I plan to take just one in the morning or mid-day.
I've taken this vitamin before and I felt that it was helpful. I am hoping it will be that way again. The vitamin has high miligram's of each different type and that is why I am cutting the dose in half. I don't want to put too many vitamins in my body as it can become toxic.
I have a kelp vitamin that I sometimes take as well, but otherwise I do not take any kind of medicine. I do drink ACV every day and mix it with turmeric.
Do you take any vitamins?

I try to eat healthier food items but I do not think I do a good enough job. I think the one I ordered is about a 90 day supply. Trader Joe's actually sells the same vitamin but I got mine cheaper by going through ebay.
I've been getting the mixed fruits from Trader Joe's lately and also picking up oranges. I need to eat more cruciferous veggies but I find I get tired of them quicker so that's one reason why I am trying these vitamins again.

@NJChicaa I tend to eat them more in the hotter months but not so much every other time of the year. I used to eat broccoli and cauliflower for breakfast. Just plain, not steamed and no butter or dipping sauce. I liked it for awhile but got tired of it. Ate bananas, blueberries and raspberries instead. Now I don't really eat breakfast at all. Half of my problem is only eating one meal a day.

@JustBhem Do you take them all separately or do you swallow a few at a time? I've heard that salt can cause bloating as well.

Have you told your doctors about the bloating? Perhaps they can adjust the dose for you.

Well the bloatinh cause by excessive intake of water. I have a lot of medicines to take, really.

I am taking Vitamin C now..because it is good for my gums. I take some supplements sometimes, but no vitamins, although B vitamins, and possibly D would be good for me. I do have a B complex bottle around here.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I have oranges now..but I don't eat one every day. Alot of fruit is high in C including strawberries, and other citrus fruits.

@snowy22315 Oh yes, Kiwi is one of my favorites and I think it's supposedly the one highest in Vitamin C. I love strawberries too.

B compex is one of the ones I've read a bit about. I think Thiamin (B6 maybe?) is supposed to be the best for depression, Vitamin D is supposed to be great for that as well. I've been increasing my intake of Vitamin C by eating more oranges. I've either noticed a difference or it's a placebo effect, but either way I feel better after having started to eat more oranges.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I do agree on that. Did you try to consult a doctor about it?

The companies give a general guide based on an average, not everyone fits that average.

There are some foods that I just don't like and won't eat. I need more Omega 3's and the best way for me to get that is through a vitamin. I need to get out in the sun more though, that's for sure.

@LadyDuck I do love walnuts but I got tired of them and haven't eaten them in awhile. I've never paired it with cheese.

@ScribbledAdNauseum We eat salmon, tuna and mackerel several times a week, we do not have problems with Omega 3. I also like to eat walnuts with cheese, walnuts are also rich in this oil.

@fivecandles Why find a homeopathic doctor when I can just read what they have to say online? I mean, I do know you can't believe everything you read online. I do a lot of research before i do anything like take different vitamins, try different food that I've never tried before etc.
I also don't have the money to pay for a homeopathic practitioner.

@ScribbledAdNauseum No amount of online reading is going to give you the same knowledge that they have...years of schooling, consistent re-training, conferences to learn the latest the soonest, its incredible how much a doctor does behind the scenes.
Do you read medical journals, medical studies? Those will at least give you the best insight.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Why don't you go to the Dr.? If you're not a fan of modern medicine you should find a homeopathic doctor.

I hate swallowing pills, so I simply try to eat as healthy as I possibly can!

Swallowing pills does not bother me, however, these will be gummies.

I take some vitamin C now and then and I have just started drinking some aloe juice which provides good benefits.

I have heard about aloe juice but haven't looked up it's benefits. I eat an orange about every day, it's my favorite way to get Vitamin C. It's Vitamin D that I need more of at the moment.

I need more zinc and more Omega 3, which is one big reason why I am goign to be taking these vitamins. I take tums sometimes but not too often. The pill you take once a week is a prescription?

@paigea I thought it might be. I'm pretty sure I've had family that have had to take a prescription for their bones like that.

I need to take more vitamin d myself. I am not in a habit of taking vitamins all the time but I think I should be. I have hormonal issues that I am trying to fix. I've noticed a big (and good) difference with what I've done so far, but I need to support myself and eat healthier, take vitamins, and eat at regular times.

Vitamin D is such a vital vitamin for us Women. I don't get enough of that myself.

Kelp is in the ocean. Technically, it's just a form of Iodine.
