Vitamins

[ChilliBean]

I’m vegetarian (I eat cheese but not eggs or dairy) and I take a centrum multivitamin every day, plus recently started taking omega 3 fish oil capsules (I know these aren’t vegetarian friendly but thought they were the lesser of two evils instead of eating fish!)

 

[LellsBells]

I take
Vitamin D 1,000iu
Evening Primrose & Star Flower Oil for PMS
Omega 3 Oil plus Cod Liver Oil because I’m fat and every joint aches
Floradix (iron & vitamin tablets)

 

[peachhes]

I take a multivitamin and vitamin C.
I need to find a chewable version (can’t swallow tablets) of b12 and iron though. Can anyone suggest anywhere that sells those?

 

[ricardoylucia]

Folic Acid tablets - one every 2 days.
Vitamin B12 injections - one a month.
Tranexamic acid tablets.
Because of my acute myeloid leukaemia, I take about 12 tablets a day - so I rattle when I roll - lol.x

 

[Notworthy]

Vitamin D3
Vitamin K2
Magnesium
Edit to add, I had a severe vitamin D deficiency, a hospital Dr recommended I take these supplements. My vitamin D level started off at 6 and a year after taking these it came up to 232.

Surely your GP gave you a prescription and did they actually bother to find out why your vitamin D tanked that badly. Ideally 70-80 is fine for Vitamin D, 232 sounds very high.

What collagen brand do use for those that do & do you go for pill/liquid/other form?

My favourite is womens best true beauty (mango flavour). I only buy it when it is on offer. I also like Bulk Vanilla collagen too, usually a discount code for that flying around (I put this in my coffee). Both Powders.

what would everyone recommend for vegan supplements that actually work & make you feel better? other than b12 ( I already take it daily) TIA

I'm on prescription vitamin D as I was found to be actually deficient when my bloods were done by the rheumatologist a few years ago. I double the dose in winter.

I take a multivitamin and mineral, plus Vitamin C, B spectrum, and a folic acid, having read that it has been known to help prevent strokes, of which my mother had several. I really want to add in A, E and vegan omega and collagen. I also need to start back with the turmeric as it did help my arthritis.

Multi vitamin and a leg vein one from H&B to help poor circulation.

May I please ask, does the leg vein one really work and give good results with your circulation? X
Edit to add, sorry, I see you've kindly answered this since I posted! X

My energy levels went up. As for my hair I am not sure... It's def growing but the root is not fuller as it used to be some 10yrs ago. I think at this stage I should get investigate it further (should have done it a long time ago but I am somehow scared of the result).

I’m in the same boat I should really get my thyroid etc checked…… but part of me doesn’t want to know!!

I just take the Wellwoman multivitamin that has tess Daley on the box only because I'm lazy and don't want to take more than one tablet a day.
I would like to move to a spray based VIT D after this pack though as I seem to wee most of this one out, and it gives me awful nausea and cramps if I try and take it with a snack rather than a whole meal.

 

[Ensay]

A multivitamin and vitamin D.

 

[Louby@21]

I eat quite a good diet but I take b complex and b12, in winter I use a vit d spray. I’ve also been using magnesium skin spray/baths to help with sleep and anxiety ( and my achy exercise muscles!)

 

[simonsays]

Omega 3
Colllagen
Vit B mix
Zinc
Lactibane

I was a strict vegetarian for many years but then had some health issues which lead to a complete dietary overhaul. I think vegetarians and vegans need to be very careful and take supplements because it is very easy to miss out on vital nutrients. It is good that many people on this thread are taking vitamin B and some Omega 3. Yearly blood tests also a good idea which I will be doing.

 

[Keikochan]

Gummy multivitamin from lidl
Vit D - am low so Doctor prescribes this
Lyseine - not all the time but if I feel very run down I'll take some to ward off coldsores
Kelp - few times a year I'll take these

I have an Everly Wellness subscription. You do an online consultation (quiz) and they recommend various ones based on your answers. You can of course change them and the descriptions are very details as to what’s in them/what they’re supposed to do. They are expensive so maybe not for everyone but I’ve noticed a huge difference since taking them 3 weeks ago

 

[Begborrowsteal]

Vitamin D daily and a probiotic. Im going to start taking agnus castus as well.
