Do You Take Vitamins and Supplements?

[Taggart]

I take a B complex supplement as instructed by my doctor and glucosamine pills to avoid joint discomfort.

I don't take any other multi-vitamins though.

Have you seen the new (at least new to me) liquid drinks now with the glucosamine instead of having to take those monstrous horse pills?

I asked my arthritis doc about glucosamine, and he said, "You can take them if you think they help." He didn't put much stock in it. He did say, however, that because people aren't getting as much sunlight as they used to because of skin cancer worries, taking a vit D supplement every day is a good thing.
As veggies, we faithfully take a vegetarian vitamin every day to make sure we get any nutrients we didn't get. Also a vit C supplement, especially during flu season.

I've been doing EmergenC... in pink lemonade flavor. It's a larger dose of C and then when I need to be around a lot of people (especially kids) I do the Airborne whether or not it's supposed to work. It's still a big shot of VitC and that's good enough for me.

I am trying to take my daily dose of vitamins but I am a very busy man that I tend to forget. Good thing that I can see this thread. It serves as a reminder.

I remember by keeping the vitamin bottles near where I'm going to be eating... since I take them with food, it reminds me.

I used to take a multi-vitamin, vitamin C, and occasionally a couple other things if I was having specific problems that could be linked to a lack of this or that. Nowadays, I rarely even take a multi-vitamin although it's definitely something I'd like to get back to eventually.

Maybe I would be doing that. I just don’t know if that would also work for me. People are not the same.

Nope, they're sure not! It works for me because I know where I sit to eat my meals and I know that when I sit there for dinner, I'll see my vitamin container. If I see it and don't remember, then I'd probably have a worse problem than remembering to take a vitamin.
