Almost 11months out you'd think I'd have this vitamin thing down. I feel like I take in too many vitamins in a one day period. It seems like my entire day is spent taking vitamins! I'm thankful atleast one of them (B12) I get to take in shot form.lol What and how much do you all take in on any given day? Thank you!! 3 prescrpt. meds 1 Iron 2 Fiber 1 Potassium 1 B6 1 BComplex 1 Multi vitamin 2 Cinnamon 2 GNC Hair and Nail 1 Cranberry 2 Folic Acid 2 Calcium chews

Why do you take so many vitamins? All I take is 2 multi vitamins, 2 calcium and 2 B complex. Have you had your levels checked recently? Good Luck!

Amanda; That seems like a lot. I take 2 Optisource chewable multi-vitamins, 2 Citracal Creamy bites daily and then do my B12 shot 2x/month. To date, my levels are perfect. Blessings, Jennifer

I had my labs done in August and they said it was great. I think I might back off on a few of them and then get my labs done in December and see what happens. Thank you Ladies.

I too think that seems like a lot of vitamins. I take 2 multi vitamns 4 calcium citrate (not carbonate) 2 x per week b-12 (GNC) If you get a good multi it will probably have most of the other vitamins in it Terri

I think it depends on what our bodies need. I have to take a few more than others and were prescribed by my wls surgeon and my rheumotologist. Mine are: 2 multi-vitamins 2 calcium citrate 1 iron 1 zinc 1 choline & inositol 1 B-12 complex w/folic acid 1 colms forte (for insomniacs, much better than taking ambien)
