Do you take any health boosts / vitamin supplements?
 

Everyone seems to be ill around at the moment which is the season I guess.
But do you take any health boosts or vitamins on a daily basis that you think make you healthier? Give you more energy, etc?


Maybe you take ginger or Ginseng and find it helps?


What has worked for you or do you think we don't need it?

Vitamin D and K2 because no one in this country gets enough vitamin D from our sun and the K2 makes sure any Calcium benefits from Vitamin D uptake goes to the right places

Flax seed on cereal (for Omega 3), Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Vitamin B12

I've taken 1 multivitamin every morning for maybe 20 years or so, I'm hoping it does something, one of the reasons I take it is I think vegetables are poison so I don't eat much of them unless there is a stray pea or carrot. Lol

I come on here. Laughter being good for the soul.

That and Vitamin D in the winter.

A multivitamin with calcium, and a cod liver oil capsule. I've done so for decades. Only a few pence a day (thank-you Tesco) so even if they just have a placebo effect, it's not doing me any harm healthwise or financially. Since I started taking them, I have never had a hangover or headache.

Small B12 tablets daily, low B12 is a known effect of the PPIs I take.

Multi-V a couple of times a week, it doesnt do any harm, may do some good.

l take none as they can interact with my prescribed medication.

I take a shed load because my body can't convert the food I eat into the required amount of vitamins and other bits I need. All on prescription due to my medical conditions and I'll be taking them for the rest of my life.

Multivitamins and minerals = Forceval
plus additional...
Calcium/Vit D3
Ferrous Sulphate
+ B12 injection every 12 weeks

Wish I could just convert the food I eat to give me what I need but I guess popping pills is better than the alternative.

D3 + K2. I took fish oil for many years but have stopped for the past year or so and haven't noticed any difference.

I take a multi vitamin Wellman tablet every few days.
I think it just keeps me topped up of anything I may be be lacking in and gives me a boost in the winter time.

Just Vit D as I spend too much time indoors.

Re: Do you take any health boosts / vitamin supplements?
 

I think I definately need some vitamin D or maybe I should book a sunny getaway. Feel like I could do with a break.

I bet you're not the only one. :Sun:

I also take Hydroxocobalamin (B12) injections every 12 weeks. Along with daily Calchichew D3 (Vit D).

A hemicolectomy means I no longer absorb B12 from food nor supplements.
