^^^ true that. Also, my docs usually tell me while it's good to take supplements, the absolute best way to get vitamins is through healthy foods.

With that said though, I do take a multi-vitamin (always check for Vitamin D... it's good for you and some studies suggest it helps reduce your risk of certain cancers), and a calcium supplement. Multivitamins usually contain 100% of Vitamin C.

Every once in awhile I will take a B complex at night before bed, and I'll take an antioxident supplement if I feel a cold or something coming on.

Don't OD on the vitmains though. If you do a google search you will find that some vitamins in excess can be counter-productive and others toxic. And BE SURE TO CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE ON THE BOTTLE. It sounds like a no-brainer, but one time I was in a hurry and bought an antioxident supplement that was expired by like 3 months. I took them back obviously, but I was shocked b/c I would have thought that vitamin stores would check for that sort of thing.
