so lately i've been seeing a lot of buy 1 get 1 of equal or lesser value deals for vitamins...i have a multivitamin so i dont need any of the common vitamins like a or c(probably got enough in my food for those anyways)...i'm just curious if anyones ever taken an omega 3 supplement


i dont eat much fish...would it be worth buying some omega 3 supplements?

any other "strange" supplements you would recommend, not like common shit i get in my food but more random type stuff

12/16/2007 6:47:09 PM

omega 3's are found in a lot of common nuts too, like almonds

I've found that if you work out/ do cardio, taking Chromium helps regulate your blood sugar so you aren't always tired

12/16/2007 6:50:09 PM

how'd you find a picture of my dick

12/16/2007 6:50:53 PM

I recommend that you take more C than is in a regular multi. A good 500-1000 mg of C helps keep your immune system in check.

Extra B vitamins are good to take if you're the kind of person who drinks excessively. Drinking saps you of B vitamins and if you ever go to the hospital for something alcohol related, they will typically give you a B vitamin shot.

Glucosamine is great for your joints, especially if you have any sort of joint problems or stress on your joints.

Flax seed oil for depression.

I could go on all day about vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements because my mom is a damned dirty hippy.

12/31/2007 1:59:44 AM

you need to take vitamins that you will benefit from. goto a pro and talk to them. dont just listen to what people say on TV and here. half the crap out there is bs.

12/31/2007 2:05:37 AM

where would i go to find out which ones i need? could i do it tomorrow, kinda have a pretty free day

12/31/2007 2:07:22 AM

here are the ones i take, although not all of them every day:
green tea extract- for antioxidants
vitamin e- skin and stuff
flax seed oil- healthy oil
fish oil- healthy oil
cinnamon- good for you!
acidophilus- helps with intestines and digestion (similar to the cultures helpful in yogurt)
b-complex- immune and eye performance
multi- a little of everything

12/31/2007 4:11:32 AM

do you have a "routine" or schedule that you take the vitamins/minerals in?

12/31/2007 4:13:40 AM

well you're supposed to take most of them with a meal so that they are absorbed correctly, so whenever i remember and i'm eating something, i take a random assortment of whatever i feel like

i try to take the multi everyday.

oh yeah i have some calcium + D that i try to take every other day at least

12/31/2007 4:14:43 AM

i currently take a multivitamin about once a month or so

12/31/2007 4:15:38 AM

What I take everyday

Fish oil caps


What I take before/during workouts

Gatorade powder (yes I consider it a supplement) and whey


What I take after workouts

Gatorade powder, whey, creatine monohydrate



What I take, that I know I don't need, but like the safety blanket

Multivitamin w/ b's and ginko

[Edited on December 31, 2007 at 4:16 AM. Reason : You should take a multi with fats ]

12/31/2007 4:15:55 AM

i guess the question becomes, how do you two feel(karencb82 and arcgreek)

[Edited on December 31, 2007 at 4:18 AM. Reason : ^a multi with fats?]

12/31/2007 4:17:32 AM

Vitamins are either fat or water soluble.


I feel damn good. I notice a difference in my general well being due to fish oil --inflamation and mentally. I have more energy, endurance, and prolonged drive with my peri workout supplementation. I feel there is a difference with my post workout supplementation.

12/31/2007 4:28:37 AM

I currently take the following:

Fish Oil - 2 capsules twice a day
Multivitamin - I try to avoid multivitamins with large quantities of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, & K.
Green Tea Extract - for the antioxidants
Glucosamine, MSM, Choindoitrin(sp) - joint support
Calcium - might be worthless as a supplement, might not. I don't eat dairy products regularly.

Anyone know about magnesium supplements? My boyfriend takes one because he read:

Quote :

"Over an 18-year period, French researchers determined that men with the highest blood levels of magnesium are 40 percent less likely to die of any cause than those with the lowest levels. Magnesium can make multivitamins too bulky, so add a 250 milligram (mg) pill from iherb.com or GNC to your daily regimen."

Of course, the ad at the end there makes me wonder if it's legit.

I might have to look into glucosamine since my ankles are really fragile and I think one of my shoulders has issues.

12/31/2007 10:31:15 AM

I take melatonin along with a multi-vitamin, helps me sleep. Trader Joes has some cheap supplements but you have to read the bottle, they do some wacky concentrations 500mcg.....should be near 3mg

12/31/2007 11:14:22 AM

i take men's health one a day

Agreed. I like Glucosamine Condroitin with MSM. The two together are supposed to be more beneficial than either by itself.

I take a multivitamin three or four times per week and Glucosamine Condroitin 2-3 times daily. I have also been drinking Green Vibrance 4-6 times per week for a couple of years because I don't feel that I eat enough "leafy greens." It's good stuff.
