Do you take any food supplements?

[Izzy2102]

Just wondering what everyone is doing. I take iron supplements(doctors perscription) and spirulina everyday. Omega 3 fish twice once a week and I occasionally use vitamin C or multiviatamin pills (mainly to flavour my drink though)

Taking supplements has such a negative assosiation, but I really think they help me be and look healthy.

Yes

-Super B Complex (with Folic Acid & B12 in it)

-Biotin

-Chia seeds and whole flaxseed(that I grind in a coffee grinder)

-Magnesium when I hope to get a good nights rest or if I know I'll be sore from a challenging workout (I take it at night either way), but not everyday

-Occasionally I take Emergen-C. Particularly if my allergies are bad or if I think I'm susceptible to a cold

I was taking Cod Liver Oil but I ran out and I forgot to get some more last weekend when I was at Whole Foods

Ya I take Omega too ,vitamin A&E&C

Im running out though so I might discontinue because I hate taking it everyday

I think it helped me caz I haven't been sick like I always get around winter

I used to take vitamic C, just because the tablets tasted nice.

Now I just try and get all of my nutrients by actually eating the food I should.

If they help you, they help you. Its best to view them as supplements to a good diet.

I've personally experienced benefits from vitamin C.

Were they beauty benefits(skin/hair)?

[kheserthorpe]

Honestly, I don't pay enough attention to that to notice. My wife did notice that maca + greens+ + C seemed to improve her skin.

I did when I was little because I didn't eat that much, but I think it really helped me.
