J-rap Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I've narrowed mine down to just a few these days, but am always curious about what other people take and why. I might learn something! For me: Fish Oil (2,000 mg daily) - It helps my cholesterol numbers, which weirdly changed after menopause, even though my diet, if anything, only improved! Turmeric (1 capsule daily) - More as a preventative. I've heard it keeps down inflammation and has been recommended for those prone to breast cancer. (Breast cancer runs in my family.) Decaffeinated Green Tea (1 capsule daily) - Same reasons as turmeric. ********** Then sometimes: Vitamin D (1,000 mg daily, during winter months only) - For all the reasons you hear about Vitamin D! Vitamin C (1,000 mg daily, when colds are going around) ********** I do wonder if I should be taking calcium supplements. My mother has severe osteoporosis, and my older sister has osteopenia. I make an effort to get calcium in cheese, milk, broccoli, kale, yogurt, almonds, and other foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Vit D 1000mg/day. Just started because MD did my levels and they were like 10. Ooops. My dh takes 1200 mg fish oil/day. I take one a couple times/week. Daily made me bruise and bleed at the slightest scrape. I drink green tea and turmeric tea daily for the reasons you listed. I prefer the food because I don't trust supplement companies :-) I would like to try L-theanine with my anxious dd but agsin, I worry about supplement safety.

Guest Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I have PTSD and a heart arrhythmia. This is what I have worked out: Inositol in large amounts (if I had to take only one thing for some reason, it would be this. Nothing, including rx, has lowered the incidence and intensity of flashbacks and panic attacks as much as Inositol. As in--to almost none.

Serenade Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I take fish oil and curcumin, both for RA. I would like to take more supplements but I'm really concerned about source -- supplements are one thing I try to buy at places like Earth Fare and Whole Foods due to concern about sourcing. I mostly eat regular groceries, lol, but it seems to me that something you take in concentrated form like supplements should be as pure as possible. That said, does anybody have a good source for supplements where they feel that the source ingredients are as close to pure as possible, that might not be as expensive as these health food stores? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbel Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) I take 400 - 600 mg of magnesium citrate daily. I started because of leg cramps and constipation. Not sure it really helps the leg cramps. 400 IU Vitamin D3. I had been taking 1000 but my kidney doc told me to back off. I started taking it because, you know, everyone's low on it. But I wasn't all that low. B-complex. Not sure why I started taking it. Energy, I think. Doc says to keep it up, based on bloodwork. 200 mg of Slippery Elm Bark, recommended by my general practitioner for GERD. 25 mg of potassium, as directed by kidney doc. I had a kidney stone in 2012 and am still seeing the doc for that. All these are approved by him (as not being harmful to kidney function and are not likely to contribute to stone formation). I want to try a few other things, such as biotin for bad hair and weak nails, ginkgo or other for focus, St John's Wort or other for anxiety. But haven't researched them enough yet to see if compatible with kidney issues. And I forgot to ask the doc when I saw him last! Both the kidney doc and my GP are amenable to supplements, herbals, etc. I don't start taking stuff till I discuss with one or the other of them. ETA: I have osteopenia but also too much calcium in my urine so don't take a calcium supplement. I do eat a lot of dairy. The calcium in the urine can lead to stone formation but I drink a lot of water with lemon juice so that mitigates that potential problem.

Greta Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Vitamin D because I was diagnosed with a deficiency. Vitamin K because I read that it helps you absorb D. Magnesium because without it I get muscle cramps. Fish oil because my doctor said to, and it seems to be highly regarded for its anti-inflammatory effects. My doctor also told me to take calcium, but I haven't been doing that yet. I've read some conflicting information about the effects of calcium supplementation, so it makes me nervous. I need to research it more. That's all. I've tried a whole bunch of things that supposedly help with migraines, but none of them helped me, and one made them worse. I need to do some research about supplements to help with perimenopause, but I keep forgetting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekland Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Absolutely nothing now. I used to take a daily multi and turmeric. Based upon advice due to a test result I added iron. Iron turned out to be really bad for me physically - causing chest pain, fatigue, joint pain, etc. I dropped the iron (found out that caused those problems), went low iron instead even with diet (tons better for me), and decided my body is too abnormal to add extra things to it thinking I was helping. None of my other problems went away dropping the multi or turmeric, but they haven't gotten worse from doing that either - just normal progression. That's for pills. I drink green tea in the morning almost daily, have a vice of allowing myself one 16oz caffeinated full sugar soda per day - I need the caffeine - allow myself the sugary treat, and make sure I get enough salt in my diet (far more than most need) all because those things seem to make me feel better than going without them. I consider all of these things "for my health." I know they all could be addictions rather than needs, but... oh well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tess in the Burbs Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I've cut back. Some from things I read about, some b/c I can't afford all these things LOL Vitamin D. Was low for years, but started the drops(suggested here) and my levels are great now. So much less this summer, but will ramp back up when the dark time comes up here. I alternate between a pill and the drops, but the drops were what brought my levels up, so maybe I'll just stop buying the pills when I run out. Vitamin B complex. I just need this. Probiotic. why are these things so expensive? Need it for my gut. Fish oil. It's in the fridge, I'm not consistent. Calcium/Magnesium. It's in the fridge. I'm not consistent. I'm torn about this as I read conflicting stuff about it. It's expensive too, so often left off the shopping list I changed how I eat this winter and feel so much better.

shawthorne44 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Potassium fairly regularly. I do nothing regularly unless there are immediate negative consequences for not doing so. Fortunately, I feel icky if I don't bathe or brush teeth. I have Restless Leg Syndrome that is completely controlled with potassium and magnesium supplements. When I don't take potassium for a bit, my legs get twitchy. Magnesium I added because it helps the potassium. Emergen C multi-vitamins. This used to be my only source of potassium, and it does have a lot. I maybe take two packets a week. My diet isn't the best, so I figure that these keep me out of major trouble. The last month or so, I stopped taking probiotics and switched to the chicory root fiber gummy prebiotic and fish oil pills. I've been pleased with the switch. I've been very regular. At first I thought it was because we were on vacation, and instead of being on the computer all day, I was doing a normal amount of walking. But, since I've been back, it is still good.

Tanaqui Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Supplements aren't regulated by the FDA. For this reason, you might be getting much less, or much more, of a given vitamin or mineral than you think. Either one of these situations is risky. J-rap, if you're worried about osteoporosis, studies have shown that taking calcium supplements is not a good preventative. Your best bet is to start some serious weight training two or three days a week, and make sure that, additionally, you're getting your minimum 75 minutes of vigorous exercise and 120 minutes of moderate exercise every week as well. Weight training doesn't only strengthen muscles, it strengthens bones as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
