    What vitamins, minerals and herbs do you take and doses?

    Just wondering what everyone else is doing and seeing what to add to mine!

    Here's mine:

    Vitamin D 400 iui

    Calcium-Magnesium supplement that also has lots of Vitamin C and Complex vitamin Bs including 800 mcg(sp) of folate

    Chromium Picolinate 400 mcg

    Vitamin E 200 ie

    I also just added some wild yam cream to the routine on cycle days 15 through the start of my period.

    I plan on adding evening primrose and a few others soon!

    I take a multi vitamin which has all sorts of stuff in it as well as a calcium supplemet (600mg) and an iron supplement (9.59mg). The iron supplement also has additional stuff in it - mainly herbs. I also take a probiotic twice a day. And I add flaxseed oil to my cereal, but I don't know if that falls under the heading of vitamins, minerals and herbs?

    Kay, what is chromium picolinate?? I haven't heard of that. Do I need it?? LOL!

    I'm still taking prenatal vitamins. That's all.

    Just a reminder to always let your physician know all of the supplements that you are taking. They can interact with prescriptions drugs, should you need to take any.

    I take a women's one a day every day. I really need to be taking an iron supplement too, as I bruise so easily.

    Well, when I remember to take them, I try to do the following:

    Multi vitamin

    1 oz Ningxia Red Juice (nutrititional supplement/antioxidant from Young Living)

    Sulfurzyme....for immune support, carbohydrate metabolism, and liver function (2 capsules twice a day)

    HRT....liquid tincture for heart support (4 drops twice a day)

    I'll also soon be adding a bunch of alternative herbal supplements for adrenal support since that is likely the root of my problems.

    WHEN I remember, I take a multivitamin and vitamin E (400). I also want to take flax seed oil or cod liver oil (Lauren has it every day and loves it and I just seem to forget...)
    I also used to take Kelp because I have/had so many cysts but haven't done so in a while.

    Cool
    I'm trying my best to remember to take my folic acid everyday. I'm hoping that we'll actually get pg sometime this year!! I was thinking of adding evening primrose as well (isn't it supposed to boost fertility or help reproductive health?).

    Now that I'm...yikes...35, I've begun taking fish-oil capsules. I've been reading about how they reduce inflammation in older skin. I'm very inflammed!

    I take a women's one a day mulitple vitamin, calcium, extra vitamin C and glucosamine/chondroitin, but none of it works because I am always tired.
