What brand/type of Multi-Vitamin do you take?

Well, considering taking vitamin tablets everyday can be bad for you in the long run, I suggest just eating fruit.pinneyapple

how so? what if you take them every other day?

There isn't anything physically bad, but basically your paying for expensive urine

Centrum, it has everything you need, but I got it just before I heard of Centrum Performance, wich is like the energy pill you take when you wake up, but it giversyou energy and all the vitamins you need for the day. So I'm going to get that after I finish with this bottle.GTA_dude

just have a good breakfast for goodness sake.

Well yah, you have too. The vitamin has to be taken with a meal....a good breakfast has some nutritian yes, but it doesn't have everything.....

People living before vitamin supplements lived long lives too. That being said, certain supplements can be beneficial, but it is best to get all your vitamins and minerals from food because the nutrients found in different foods work with each other.

An example of this is vitamin c. They say supplement with vitamin c, but if you eat an orange you will get better absorption of the vitamin c it contains, plus the antioxidants and phytonutrients. There are even things no one knows about yet in certain foods that may benefit us even more.

A little bonus here if you are still reading. Orange juice is worse for you than oranges because in the making of orange juice, fiber is lost and so are certain nutrients. It's basically turning a healthy food into an unhealthy drink. Fiber in fruit is what makes the sugar ok to eat because fiber causes the sugar to be digested slowly instead of a quick spike like white sugar would do.

Orange juice always gives me a tummy ache.

Anyway, I take calcium because milk is a migraine trigger for me and I'm a white female. Not to mention I'm on depo provera which causes bone density loss. So...I needs mah' calcium.
