Default Vitamines? What do I take?
Hello!

I went to Wal-Mart and got the Womens 1A Day Vitamine. Im not to sure if that is the best thing to take. I am very strict on my diet..So i know i need some extra vitamines to help me get what I need everyday. I work with little kids so I dont want to have my immune system go down and get sick. So any advice? Thanks Yall

I want to get some B12, because I need the energy. I just take the woman's 1 a day. It probably isn't the best vitamin, but it was convenient at the time I was getting vitamins. Oh and I was taking CLA, but I haven't taken those in a while either. I looked at the women's one a day though and the kids' vitamins look like they have nearly the same stuff, which makes you wonder just how good the women's vitamin actually is. I probably will look for a better one next time. Hopefully someone else can be a little more helpful.

I take the womens one a day also. I have taken liquid B12 (Walmart or any pharmacy), in the past. That will give you added energy; However, it is nothing like the shot at the doctor's office, but it will help.

I take CLA also, but it doesn't give you energy, it builds lean body mass and reduces body fat. I is suppose to help with the blubber around the waist line.

I drink Organic Yerba Mate green tea (two cups a day) that give me extra energy also.

I hope this helps???

My doctor recommended One a day as well. This was recommended just to ensure my body gets what the lack of foods will obviously not provide.

Default Awesome liquid vitamin
I have been taking an amazing liquid vitamin each day. I hate to take pills and this particular vitamin allows me to take a one ounce shot each day instead of all of those pills. It is called "Essential Daily Nutrients." It gives you a great energy boost and it has everything that you need. If you have any questions about it please feel free to PM me. It only costs me about $40 a month.

Default 5htp
5HTP is a natural supplement that converts in the brain into serotonin. Serotonin is an important brain chemical involved in mood, behavior, appetite, and sleep. 5HTP supplement is from Griffonia simplicifolia seed. Griffonia simplicifolia is an African plant which is extracted to produce 5-HTP, the intermediary metabolite between the amino acid L- tryptophan and serotonin.
A combination of hoodia, ginger, cinnamon, green tea extract, spirulina, acetylcarnitine, choline, guggul, 5htp, and several other herbs and nutrients.


In non-herbal nerd terms it evens out the mood swings for me at least

I have a question for you that are taking the CLA.........

How many do you take a day?
Do you take with a meal and do you drink a small glass of milk with it? I heard somewhere that it is best taken with milk.....
what is the mg? mine are 1000.

THANK YOU!!!

.......and I am taking a prenatal vitamin because I am working on my hair and nails and it really helps them grow!! I wore fake nails for 15 yrs (i use to do nails).....and I got to the point that I was tired of them. my REAL nails are finally looking healthy and great!!


Put your big girl panties on and just do it!!

I take 2 1000mg CLA capsules twice a day, with meals. Mine are 80% Safflower oil in each capsule, so depending on the concentration of yours it may be different. I use the GNC Tonalin brand. Hope this helps!
