Vitamins?

[Emmsmom]

I was just wondering how many here take vitamins or supplements? I take one pill that has Magnesium, Calcium, and Zinc in it. Then I also take Fish oil. Recently I saw that taking 1 Selenium pill a day can prevent certain cancers. SOOO.. lol Since cancer runs in my family I decided to give it a try. I figure it can't hurt!

I take a multivitamin and Vitamin E.

I take several vitamins. I take the Magnesium, Calcium, and Zinc (it helps with leg cramps and restless leg problems) and the vitamin E too. I also take Vitamin A because I read that if you have night blindness that it will help. (We'll see!) I started taking a Super B Complex Vitamin and L-Carnitine and, man oh man, I feel so much more energetic!!! I don't know which one is helping me but I can really, really tell a difference. I also take a fiber pill to help control my appetite. It's called SlimStyles PGX.

My Mom always took a handful of vitamins and I always told myself that I'd never do that, but I find as I get older that I tend to gravitate toward the vitamins to help me with my ailments. I think that if I would be really happy with a doctor that used vitamins instead of prescriptions, at least some of the time.

I have heard that Vitamin E is good for infections too. That tip came from Tink. It worked for me. I think that we rely to much on Medicines. I know that some are really needed but I think others are used to quickly.

I had never heard of the zinc with restless legs - I'm going to have to try it!

I take a woman's multi-vitamin & a magnesium/calcium suppliment. according to my gyno magnesium helps lessen the severity of PMS symptons & depression.

It's not the Zinc, Dobie, but the Magnesium and it needs the Calcium to bind too to make it more effective. You could get by with a Calcium/Magnesium vitamin.
