What kind of vitamin supplements are others on?
You can meet your vitamin needs fairly easily with a generic multivitamin from the drugstore. (Here's a cheat sheet about what our requirements are.) Here's what I currently take:
- generic version of Centrum 50+, twice a day
- Feosol carbonyl iron, two pills twice a day (per my hematologist)
- Citracal calcium + D, two pills once a day
- One-a-Day "Trubiotic" probiotic, once a day
- Metamucil fiber pills, once a day

I currently have been dealing with digestion issues for several years now with flare ups several times a year. What do others use for vitamins? I am really looking for what kind of probiotics are others using as well.
Lordy, I take a boatload. I take Celebrate chewable multi (2 times), celebrate iron (1 time) with C, solaray chewable magnesium citrate & calcium citrate (3 times), Biotin barimelts (1 time), B-12 barimelts (1 time), Equate gummy probiotic and then I just started taking a pill that is supposed to be a combination of digestive enzymes and a probiotic but I can't remember what it is called. I have horrible constipation issues so I try to take a lot of probiotics and that's what the magnesium is for also in hopes that will help. I still end up taking a laxative once a week.
