Michelle My Bell Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I think I need to start taking a good multi-vitamin but I am afraid that the ones you buy in the grocery store are a waste of money. I need something without Iron because Iron makes me ill. Also, I would love something that would help with my skin and hair. I have very thin hair and if there is some miracle out there, I want it. My skin is dry as well. OK, share the knowledge! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I make sure I purchase food based vitamins so my body can recognize the nutrients :) Here's what I buy: http://www.vitacost.com/rainbow-light-womens-one-food-based-multivitamin It does have iron, but not a large quantity. Maybe they have non iron formulas? I'd use something topically for the dry skin (coconut or olive oil). Not sure about the hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it never upsets my stomach and most multis do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowing Brook Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Shaklee is my favorite. It is food based. You can buy with or without iron. My energy level's are amazing when I take these. I always notice a difference in expectant mother's that take these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got pregnant w/ my oldest, my doc said I needed to take a pre-natal vit. I handed her my jar of shaklee vita-lea that I was already taking, and she said I didn't need to take anything different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Just wanted to add to Negin's posts that I have tried Nature's Sunshine for 5 years now and would recommend it. To my great dismay, I have heard that New Chapter Organics has been bought by someone and the quality of future products is in question now. They were my second favorite brand available at my natural market. Bluebonnet has also been recommended to me and I have been taking it instead of New Chapter. Can't tell yet if there is any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I don't take a multi, but we take fish oil, magnesium, vitamin b's and something else I'm trying to think of.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6packofun Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) I like this whole food vitamin (and it passes my dissolve in lukewarm water test, LOL): http://www.naturesway.com/Products/Vitamins/15092-Alive-Multi-Vitamin-No-Iron-Added.aspx Nature's Way Alive It can be found in many drug stores, although I first bought it from Vitacost. I think it says the dosage is 3 pills per day but I do 2. I'm very skeptical about saying I feel a difference after taking supplements or even medication, but with this one I DO. I don't get the stomach upset if I take it with little or no food, either, but I would still recommend taking with a meal just in case. :) Edited September 21, 2012 by 6packofun add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
