I take iron tablets with Vit B group mainly as it helps with my energy levels. I was also Vit D deficient so took those before . For some reason I cant take the ones with all the muiti ones as I think the extra vitamins is too much for me and I end up getting ulcers or extra pimples . The chinese call it ” yit hee ” which means too much heat and I think in this case too much unknowns which I am may never had before causes the body to react . So since its been a while , I think its best to stick to the essentials and when needed . Talk to doctor is unsure as well.

I have but didn’t think it helped in anyway.

My GP suggested they might balance some of the medications I’m taking.

well my hubby laughs at me and tells me that we are eating good enough so i am making expensive pee lol I think that if you get older, it isn’t bad to take those fish oils etc that can boost you.

    Now, I use the extra money for other treats-special fruits.

I take a women’s multi with fish oil, magnesium (great for headaches and leg cramps) evening primrose oil (for PMT and early menopause) and also Fefol as it’s the only iron I can take and my leves can get low. It sounds like a lot now I’ve written it down but a multi alone has not been enough and I’ve certainly noticed the difference taking the other 3 as well. This reminds me I need to get some Vitamin D too as my levels tend to be low – especially over Winter.

  And yes, I do think it makes a difference if you get a good supplement from a reputable brand.

    i did not know that magnesium and fish oil were good for headaches. thanks I will try this.

They only do something if you are lacking in those vitamins in your body…otherwise you pee it straight out as waste as it is excess to your needs

  Yes I had heard that too

I take multivitamins and feel better for it. I also take extra vitamins in winter like vitamin c

I used to take multivitamins. Now I prefer to take different ones. I take vitamin D and vitamin B complex. And now that winter has started, my daily vitamin C. When I remember I take fish oil too. And some probiotics.

I find when i remember to take them i feel a lot more energised and dont get sick as often. When i have had blood tests in the past my doctor usually rings me and tell me i must have my vitamin d, c, and B2. Instead of having a multi vitamin. And he is right when i go back on them i am not as run down as before and dont get as sick as often. If you are unsure just go to the doctors and ask for a full health check. That way you will have a blood test and that can help you take what you need. (if its needed)…
