Best Multi-Vitamins to take?
« on: April 18, 2018, 01:52:35 pm »
I'm currently taking multi-vitamins, but they don't cover many things. I need some that take care of pretty much everything so that I don't have to buy different things and spend more money on vitamins lol I'm exercising daily and need some good vitamins because my legs get really sore and burn sometimes from a fast paced walk and I want to start lifting light weights as well. It's also a bonus if you personally use what you're recommending to me. thanks

I normally take gummy vitamins because of the size of most regular vitamins being hard to swallow. I take Flintstone vitamins, worked fine for me.

Studies have shown the generic store brand is basically the same as name brand so I’d recommend going with them and saving a dollar or two. I personally use the target brand gummy vitamins for adults and have no complaints

I do not take a multi vitamin. I only take the vitamins my doctor said i should take. I do not believe in taking multi vitamins.

I was taking them but I started not feeling well on them. I believe it is best to take the vitamin's you need like vitamin d if you are lacking that.

 I am not a fan of multi vitamins.  Many of the vitamins I  have reviewed have either too much sugar or too much sodium. I suppose if you don't eat well at all they are helpful but I really have no use for them.  If I had to choose it would probably be a gummy vitamin because I have a very hard time taking pills  :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

As long as the vitamin doesn't have iron in it, you should be fine.  Be very careful taking a multi-vitamin with iron because a back up of iron can cause tons of problems.

I don't take a multivitamin, but I take individual ones that I feel benefit me the most:   Vitamin C, D, calcium, magnesium and some others.

That is a conversation between you and your doctor.  Everyone's body is different and absorbs nutrients differently which is why there are so may of the same vitamin with different milligrams.  Age also plays a factor.  This is why you will find companies such as Centrum Silver creating multi-vitamins for the 50 and over crowd and dividing that between men and women.  Also, too much of a vitamin in the system can be equally as harmful as having under the amount of the national 'normalcy'.  For example, personally, in my age group, 35-40, I have a dangerously low Vitamin D deficiency so, daily I have to take 5000mg of Vitamin D.  My parents, in the over 60 crowd, were told by their doctor to take the 2000mg daily because if they take the same mgs I take, it can clog their arteries.   I really can't stress this enough.  Talk to your doctor.  Take at least one physical, if you haven't, then based on the blood-work, ask the doctor the right dosage for your body.  If you don't, you could end up causing yourself unnecessary harm.

I just take the generic brand of one a day multi vitamins and they seem to work fine for me.  My doctor knows that I take them and has never said they are not good for me.

I take One A Day vitamins for women, they cover what most women need and seem to work pretty well.

I take a senior multi-vitqmin, and several individual ones that I need more of.

When I last went for a check-up, she was impressed my colesterol and blood sugar were fine.

Not bad for 75 :)
