What supplements do you take?
 
And why (if you want to answer)? Are you trying to prevent certain diseases? Or, are you using them as an alternative to conventional medication for a current condition?

I take magnesium, vitamin b12 (100 mcg), and l-lysine.

I take magnesium whenever I'm feeling super anxious and wired. It really helps me fall asleep when I can't. It is like a natural sleeping pill.

This isn't really considered as a supplement, but I try to drink at least a cup of green tea a day. I've heard that it could help to prevent cancer. I don't think one cup is enough, but it won't hurt. I've also heard that it can help fight bugs. I drink an extra cup if I've been around someone sick or eaten something from a sketchy restaurant. :o

1000mg of Sustanon 250 a week.
1-75 mg Anadrol tablet daily.
750mg of Decca 300 a week.
225mg protein a day.





ETA: I'm really kidding, but 6 months ago it wasnt a joke.

Calcium, Vitamin B12 shots or nasal gel (sometimes both), and sometimes iron.. due to malnutrition/malabsorption due to Crohn's Disease and surgeries related to same.

I think most of us take a good multivitamen. I also take Preservision.

If ANYONE in your family has macular degeneration, you can arrest its growth by taking Preservision, and a vitamen with lutein.

I take a good multivitamin, plus calcium (because I don't drink milk - yecch).

food and water :D

Pre-Natal
 
Even though I am not pregnant, I take a pre-natal vitamin everyday. My doc says since I am in my childbearing years that it wouldn't hurt. It's made my nails stronger and my hair shinier.

Not to mention, it has 67% folic acid, which is essential for women. :D More than a mulitvitamin has. :D

I'm staring to take B-compex which my neurologist said might help reduce my Migraines. We'll see! I sure hope it works!

I try to take a good multi-vitamin but they seem to make my stomach upset.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a vitamin I can take for energy? I sleep a full 8-9 hours and I still feel dog tired throughout the day. When I get home I have to take a nap and I'd rather be working out or doing something productive.

3 redbulls, works like cocaine. You could also take Ephedra pills you can buy at convienant stores.

You'll want to make sure you don't have any heart issues (or other health issues) if you're taking either of those. An irregular heartbeat can be thrown for a dangerous loop if you're packing on the red bull or ephedra.

I feel ya. I tore my rotator cuff and my doc prescribed me lorcet for the pain till it healed a bit. One night I took the lorcet after I healed a little bit and thought I could hit the gym back up but I was feeling a little tired....so I took 3 Ephedra pills. Goddamn, man, I worked out like a demon at the gym. But by the time I got home I started getting all hot and my heart was beating as fast as Jenn Lopez goes through husbands. My skin was turning blushy. Honestly, I started getting scared. I stripped down nakked, turned on the shower as cold as it could get and just stood there with ice cold water pouring on me for about 5 minutes. After that I was fine. I was freaked out, seriously. I thought I was about to have a heartattack or something. I know I'll never do the stupid crapp again taking both of those at the same time.

D*** Cashmoney, I have a feeling you are trying to do away with me. Do we need to go to the private messages and discuss it??? :(

I'm not trying to stay up all day and night, I just don't want to feel sluggish.

Try adding B-Complex vitamin and see if it helps. I took an isotonic B-vitamin while in school and it really did give me some pep without feeling jittery or anything like that.

I take the following....
One-A-Day women's multi vitamin
3000 mg of MSM
Lean Balance (not really a vitamin, but a diet pill).

Nahhh dude, seriously, 3 redbulls won't put you in. Just don't take the redbulls and ephedra at the same time.

Rudey 05-13-2005 10:56 AM

hot-rox, protein, and flax seed oil.

--I guess I should take a multi-vitamin but i can never remember to do it

valkyrie 05-13-2005 10:57 AM

I take a multivitamin every once in a while but I forget most of the time.

Rio_Kohitsuji 05-13-2005 11:36 AM

I take one of those Viactive chews, however, when my father comes around for me to take one I run from him like a little kid. For some reason, I still don't like taking my vitamins :p

recentASAalum 05-13-2005 11:37 AM

I take a multivitamin, a calcium supplement, and usually a protein supplement... the calcium is because of my birth control and the protein is because I don't usually have enough protein in my daily diet...

Hmmm...maybe you need some Gingko Biloba for the "forgetting part"? LOL ;) :p

ISUKappa 05-13-2005 12:52 PM

I take a prenatal vitamin and extra fiber everyday. When I remember, I try and take a calcium supplement. I was taking Fish oil, but until we can figure out why I keep miscarrying, I'm stopping those.

emleepc 05-13-2005 12:58 PM

I take a pill with lutein because my family has a rock solid history of Macular degeneration.
Anything to keep my good eyesight for as long as possible!!!

She just needs to stop smoking so much pot and she'll be alright.

Why did you use quotation marks around these words?

Did someone not learn proper grammar?

Try high doses of vitamin b6 with nuts.

I can't find a multi-vitamin that doesn't make me feel sick. :(
