Does anyone here take vitamins of any kind?

i was thinking the other day after seeing a advert about calcium, i actually have none of my calcium intake, and if i do its very very small amounts, i only drink milk in my coffee, very rare i have a glass of milk, i dont really eat much foods with calcium in either!

i have quite horrid hair, it never grows, my skin is all crappy and my nails are too.

You may have more than you think.

I take a lot of vitamins, but it's because I have health issues. Most healthy people don't need to take many vitamins... a multivitamin might be all you need. I'd get your levels checked! Calcium, vitamin D.. things like that, get blood work done before you take anything for it.

do you need blood tests to see if your deficient in any vitamins? i had my bloods done when pregnant and they came back good apart from slight lack of iron, but i never took vitamins when pregnant either. maybe i dont need them bcos if i did then it would have shown up when pregnant when M was taking everything from me. i didnt eat much different when pregnant either

As a fairly recent birth mother with a history of vitamin deficiency, it would be a good idea to go back to your GP and have the bloods checked again to see if it is a long term issue, or simply caused by the pregnancy.

It won't do you any harm to get some iron tablets, and they are rather cheap, but get it tested first.

I don't take them every day, or even every day during, but on the heaviest days it helps.

The real problem with over the counter vitamins is you really do not know what they contain.
The vitamin manufacturers refused to cooperate with the food and drug administration.
as a consequence many studies have shown that the pills do not contain what they claim they do.

Peace!

It takes a lot of research to find the best supplements that actually work.

As far as my ice cream reference goes . . . I love ice cream!

i should take vitamins, i do feel pretty healthy considering, i dont get out of breath easy, or get sick often, i just complain about my hair skin and nails all the time and i can hazard a guess that vitamins would help

Also, just found this: www.webmd.com/diet/iron-rich-foods I would buy some iron tablets, for a quick top up, but add iron to your diet anyway.
