I take Rainbow brand prenatals- no, not preggo or trying to be. They are just really good complete vitamins. I am anemic so the extra iron is really good for me. Rainbow vitamins are all natural, not chemical so my body absorbs them better and I don't get sick.


Oh I take these too, totally easy on the digestive system as well.

OMG!! Many things......

Opti-Women multivitamins
Citracal with D
Nordic Fish oil
Omega 3-6-9's
Tonalin CLA
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
L-glutamine
Spirulina
CoQ10

..... and 3Tbsp of coconut oil a day!




WOW! How do you manage to remember to take all these? I have such a hard time swallowing pills, I'm jealous of people like you!



Hee hee! And most of those I take twice a day!!!!

I guess it's just habit. I've been taking supplements since I was pregnant with my first child, and he's now 26.

I read these are really good, but unfortunately, I'd never be able to swallow them! I know one Rainbow Light prenatal system consists of taking six pills a day!

That's really great you not only remember to take all these pills, but are able to swallow them all, too!

i just take a multivitamin (has to have a specific list of ingredients, though) and generic Claritin.

i have a problem swallowing pills, too, but mine is the opposite of everyone else's - i have an almost impossible time swallowing tiny pills. like Claritin or BC pills. huge vitamins and pain pills? no problem. tiny little pills? they take me at least five minutes to get down. blech!
back when i lived in Atlanta and had easy access to shoppes that sold herbs and natural supplements, i'd buy the empty gelcap things and put my BC pills in them so i could swallow 'em easier.

oh, and i'm *trying* to remember to take calcium pills now, too.

Rainbow now makes a one a day prenatal, that is easy to chop in half.

I take a Woman's multi-vitamin, CoQ-10, and cranberry pills.

I had two nasty UTIs within three months & I'm afraid to stop taking the cranberry pills now. ;1

CJ,

you may want to check what soaps, laundry detergents, anything that gets around that area. I had tons of UTI's till I stopped using Tide. Now I have to be very careful about bodywashes.

aah!
Thanks for the advice.
I'm very fearful about getting another UTI...pain! I HATE that feeling of having to go all the time...
