I want to start taking more than just a prenatal and hair/nail supplements. Any recs. I hate the aftertaste of vitamins and even though I am no where near pregger, at least once a week I throw up after taking them and it tastes metallic. Don’t know what is the deal with that but does anyone else experience that?!?
Re: vitamins and supplements
Its actually the other way around for me I feel sick if i don't take my vitamins, I take multivitamins, omega 3 and probiotic and sometimes B12 and Iron depending on my food intake. Try a few different brands..maybe that will help or consult your doctor
Re: vitamins and supplements
I take Biotin with Zinc.. I've changed the brand of Zinc I was using as I was getting really bad nausea no matter what time I took it.. The original strength of Biotin I tried also gave me loads of spots..
Try a different brand and/or strength if you're having issues.. I don't have any problems with the ones I'm taking now.. The Biotin has made a huge difference, I love it..
Re: vitamins and supplements

I Def need to up my vitamin d and calcium because I can feel my bones are not what they used to be. They crack ache and break alot
Re: vitamins and supplements
There are countless varieties and brands of nutritional supplements.
While no one can deny good healthy balanced and properly cooked meal,
Everyone needs some form of supplement and even growing children need some supplements.
Please read carefully:
"Vitamins and other supplements and minerals despite being considered over the counter and not regulated by the Govt. even where other prescription drugs are regulated, they still need to be taken with the agreement of a physician and simple medical evaluation and lab tests should be done prior to committing to long term vitamin and supplement use and wasting money or feeling 'good' based only on psychological basis."
I repeat: There is no denying the importance of vitamins and supplements. :)

All total waste of money, plus supplements are being identified as one of leading cause of liver injury that rarely can b fatal.
Re: vitamins and supplements
What if your body cannot absorb the synthetic vitamins and minerals?
vitamins and supplements
So there are actually some brands under investigation with the FDA here in the US. I think the common one was Centrum? I have to double check to confirm. Since then I have stopped vitamin supplements and am uneasy about taking the others. Call it paranoia if you will. There were investigations done that showed one of the brands had less than 50% nutrients than were listed on the labels. I think it has been taken off the shelves. I need iron and calcium but have never been able to get into a routine at all with taking supplements and then lost Interest even more after hearing about the investigations. Just try harder to eat iron and calcium enriched foods. Once in a while is okay to makeup for it in the lack of your diet on a day missed but something uneasy for me about being dependent on supplements. However, I am also uninformed about the details on taking them. There's just so much mixed info it's confusing.
I have heard that those nutrient shakes are better. They provide those as meal replacements for a lot of seniors in hospitals sometimes and their packed with proteins and such. Our grandmothers doctor said its just as fine for us to drink them as well. Quick option for some extra supplements for the day. I do drink those since they are provided for our grandmother in bulk regularly lol.

Perhaps a dietician can assess your diet to see, if its so deficient in vitamins that you need to take, but for most people its not the case.

Can multivitamins injure liver too?
