Vitamins / Health Supplements

[meow123]

Ok, lets talk abt health supplement here. Anyone of u gals take supplements regularly?

I am starting to take calcium pills after constant nagging from mom abt the need to take care of my bones. I have been taking anti-oxidant pills for years and my usual dose of Vit C everyday. I used to take EPO but stopped after I find that I put on a lot of weight after taking this. Although I wld say EPO helps with my complexion and less problems with my mthly menses..

Occasionally I will take birdnest and brand's chicken essence.

i know i have too because i'm a poor eater but i don't coz i can never remember to take my supplements

used to take Vit C but stopped coz i *** forgot to buy them
took calcium and iron for some time (like urh, 1 bottle each) but stopped

oh well, dont' care ***

I really need to take some too. Especially calcium. I'm so horrible about taking vitamins and such. I buy them with such good intentions and then just never take them. :roll:

i am too lazy! i used to take vit c, iron tablets etc. all coz my aunt paid for them & made me eat! too lazy now & i know even if i buy them, i would stop eating somehow. i took collagen, veg, hair & nail supplements & a whole lot more beauty stuff from Fancl too for a good 1 or 2 packs & again i stopped when i got lazy & forgetful!

I have been taking my Multi-Vitamin pills for the longest time. About 5 years i think. In between, i also took Vit C tablets and Coil Fish oil... I also take Brands Chicken Essence. Am planning to go back to the Brands birds' nest .. it is good for the lungs also complexion. Also took Xue Ha Guo (taken from a frog...don't know the exact details, i knew ppie wouldn't want to know about it! ) about 3 - 4 times year. Does this count too?

i take multi-vit, calcium and cod liver oil(capsule form).

once a month, i will take a bottle of bird nest. parents say its good for lungs *** and not forgetting..its good for complexion too?

i read somewhere that cod liver oil is good for brains..
forgetful sotongs like me...need lots of them!!!!

I've long wanted to take a multivitamin but couldn't decide which brand is best. Or is there no difference? Then what is the difference between a woman's multivitamins and a generic one?

[riverie]

I buy loads thinking I need this, that, everything...but I never seem to be able to remember taking them regularly in the end! :laugh:

Now I buy multivits cos' they're all in one and more convenient... Cheaper than buying individual vitamins too, esp when they risk gasthering dust on my table....

i used to be a regular pill popper. but have gotten lazy now

took these:
- hair skin & nails calcium
- starflower oil capsules (more effective than evening primrose for me)
- berroca, a vit b complex effervescent tablet
- multivitamin pills

Um ... hmmmm ... don't tell me anymore about where it's taken from the frog 8O, but what does it do?

i always forget to take them so in the end i stopped buying.

my only supplement is the occasional bowl of birds' nest that mum feeds me with when i'm back at my parents' place.

Also took Xue Ha Guo (taken from a frog...don't know the exact details, i knew ppie wouldn't want to know about it! )

think that's frog's glands or something......i can almost see wanda cringing already it's supposed to improve the complexion, i think.

it's supposed to act like a cheaper version of bird's nest. at least that's what my mom told me. it's quite yummy tho.
