Vitamins, who takes them and what do you take?
I've been taking "one a day," flax seed, fish oil, and vitamin d (per doctors order). What do you take?

Magnesium, zinc, multiple, baby aspirin, fish oil, iron, b3, calcium, glucosamine, vitamin C. Hell, we don’t need to eat after that. But, we’re healthy.

I take B3, per the doctors instructions. Back when I started, I was taking 1 a day. Then he still wasn't happy and told me to take 2 a day. The big jug of them was fairly cheap, so I complied. I have no idea if it helps me or not.

One of my docs long ago said to take a multi-vitamin daily so I do. This is the same as Centrum Silver Adults 50+. I also take magnesium 200mg daily.

Men's Vitafusion. My Doc recommended I take a multi-vitamin when I turned 50. I have been taking them for 9 years and I have no complaints.

Can I say it gives me that extra boost every day that I need to start my day? No. But Doc is happy with my blood work, so I am reluctant to change my diet or exercise routines.

Doc tells me: Thera-M+B1+Fish Oil, I wouldn't take any of them without the Dr's. order. Having run out of one or another for months-long stretches at times, none seem to make a difference in my numbers. Excessive B1 makes my hair and nails grow like Sasquatch on steroids which may or may not be a good thing.

And, for God's sake! It isn't a "shake" unless it has ice cream and milk in it! Call it a "smoothie" if you must, but please, a little respect for the sugar and fat.

I take V3 and calcium due to loss of 2 parathyroids. Recently my lab tests showed me deficient in iron and B12 so I take B12 once per day and an iron pill once a week. Will have blood test tomorrow to check on the latter two. I also started taking 250 units of C 3 times a day just in case. I'm near 72. Sometimes I add turmuric and cumin to my cooking.
