Vitamins what type do you take and why?

Dinosaur · 08-06-2006, 05:07 PM

Just wondering what type of vitamins does everyone use and why. At the moment i use a multi vit, vitimim C and E and Flaxseed oil morning and nighttime.

Dont know why i use them it's just that they seem to be the common ones that people take.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I use coenzyme Q10, good for my gums and heart. Omega 3, 6, and 9 fats, and Perfect Nutrition Hardcore Training Paks, which cover everything from anti oxidants through to your vits and mins.

Do you find st johns wort good? i used to take it but i am never very sure with things like that whether its working or i just happen to be feeling well?

I can't say its a miracle supplement but i think it reduces the peaks and troughs of mood and suppresses depression a little. Its also very cheap.
