What supplements does everyone take?
« on: October 24, 2014, 04:56:04 pm »
Until yesterday all I was supplementing with was magnesium and sometimes iodine, but my micro intake hasn't been so consistent of late.  Now I'm taking super fancy prenatal vitamins because they include more iron and calcium (and some other things) than a basic multivitamin.  Still of the opinion that it's best to get micronutrients from quality foods instead of vitamins, but this will help with some minor deficiencies of mine.

Damn this non-heme iron :(

I take a two multi vitamins, one biotin, two milk thistle, and 4 fish oil caps daily. Seems overkill but I've been losing my hair very slowly over the past two years(I'm 26), though it's still not noticeable to anyone else, the thought of being bald at 30 is just depressing.

I will vouch for this combo, along with rogaine, it has put a complete stop to my hair loss, haven't seen any regrowth, but I wouldn't even notice it anyways as the naked eye wouldn't even know that anything is missing.

Was going to make a thread about this to help other people here suffering the same problem, but didn't want to seem like I was whoring for attention.

Saw palmetto is supposed to help with hair loss, too.

I take a multivitamin.  I also get acid reflux at times, so I've gotten in the habit of taking an antacid or two before bed, which could double as a calcium supplement.

Good on you for the apple cider vinegar!  So many health benefits.  Hope you're using a good organic kind like Bragg's, from a glass bottle.

What kind is it?  It's really hard to say.  Bragg's is a trusted source.

H-E-B organics?  Quick google search and it looks kind of okay.  I wouldn't drink it until doing more research, but you can always condition your hair and clean with it.
