Name your Multi

[Cindy Day]

Just curious what others are using for their multi-vitamin. I currently use Life Force Bio-Align multi without iron but need to re-order and thought I'd see what others are using.

I take GNC's Women's Ultra Mega-- the regular kind, with iron.

Like someone above mentioned, is there a specific reason that a lot of people seem to take multis without iron?

Yeh why not? I think I assumed you recommended them because that is what my expectations were (meaning I thought I had actually read on my plan...).

I used to take Flinstones too. :baby: :lol:

I use Centrum chewables for the same reason. Swallowing big pills gags me.

[Cindy Day]

Thanks everyone for your replies. :)

I'm taking a prenatal vitamin as I hope to be pregnant in the next few months :)

and wait a minute..they still sell Flinstone ones?! I used to love those!

[jaleena]

For those of you wondering why some of us take vitamins without iron...if you're not getting the monthly girly thing, it's not necessary, and possibly detramintal. So many foods are iron fortified, and if you're not losing it, it's easy to build up enough to increase heart attack risk.
I'm taking Solgar right now. And a vegetable supp...which is probably overdoing it, but I so rarely remember to take both on the same day that I doubt I'm losing much.

Ahh, thanks! I was kind of thinking that might be why, but wasn't totally sure.

I wonder how this comes into play for months that I skip my period (with monophasic BCP), or if it matters since it's still a relatively short time.

[Stifler]

Animal Pak

[tstroud]

Vemma!! I have never felt so good and energized from a multi. I have actually been out for a week and can not even function. It better be on the door when I get home today :suicide:

[koconnor]

Thorne makes very good quality vitamins. I highly recommend using theirs.

Another reason some don't take iron in the multi is some doctors feel that it masks test results. You want your test results to show whether your low iron or ferritin or not before taking additional iron.

[strongchick]

Iron also inhibits calcium absorption, so check your multis. If you take additional calcium, do NOT take it with your regular multi if it has iron in it.

[farellas]

Kirkland (costco) brand multi-vit

[Teesha]

At the present time I don't take one, but have been thinking about Usana or Pharmanex.

I take the same :clap:

[Christine_99]

The only vitamin I take is stresstabs with iron - I just started them up as I was feeling a bit burned out and run down (working lots, running around and taking care of my son as a single parent, dating and getting in regular workouts). I notice stress on my skin (breakouts) and how I feel. Now am paying more attention to getting better sleep etc - its helping :cool:

Solgar iron-free VM-75 multi....

although I question whether or not I really need it, especially when hypercaloric....I think I just take it out of habit at this point.

[alyamac]

Prenatal. I cannot stand taste and size of vitamins. Also the prenatal doesn't do that aftertaste thing :barf:

I take extra Vitamin C and E, but try to eat lots of fruits and vegetables and I take Greens+ too.

you put that into shakes or do you just choke it down with some water?

[jaleena]

I take mine with water. Seems .25tsp of Splenda makes it better...any more makes it ick. Much too flavourful for me to put into my shakes and enjoy...although the guy who sold me the stuff says he likes his that way :shrug:

[Erik]

Water

It would totally ruin a shake. I tried that once, never again.

[gizmogirl]

Centrum. Hopefully that's a good one.

What makes Greens+ great? Is it as good as having veggies or is it because alot of people don't eat enough veggies?

[Minou]

I don't take a multi. I do Greens+ in a shake. At first it tasted like seaweed, but now that I'm used to it, I love it. I take it because by the time I get the vegetables into my body (shipping, sitting in the grocery store etc...) I wonder how many nutrients have been lost. I am proud to say that I have just grown my first garden, and you can really tell the difference in taste!!!

[AMB]

I don't take one.

[PnW]

Neither do I :unsure:

Hrmm.. maybe I should? Eh, I dunno.
