Vitamin help?

[Der Cute]

I've started my own stuff, since I live in a place with weak-ass sunlight. I pop vitamin D pills, and when I remember, I take Triple Omega (Naturemade). Works for me, I can't see too much of a change right now. It's summer, so the Vitamin D isn't so profound.
I also take some probiotics, but that's for a specific girl thing. I take too many pills as is.

Well, it can't hurt.

Actually, some supplements can. (Plus the obvious one - fish oil is bad for people allergic to fish.)

However, fireheart, if you buy at least your first set in a pharmacy and discuss it with your pharmacist; taking your list of any other medications & supplements you use with you; then I'd say go for it.

It's worth noting that Vitamin C tends to interfere with Vitamin D. I can't remember the specific connection, but I thought it made sense, what with most C-bearing foods being available during the height of summer.

I can't speak for the fish oil; I've never taken it myself. From personal experience, though, I can say that vitamin B complex seems to augment energy and lift mood. It doesn't fix everything, but it does seem to help.

Oh, and bonus? One of the B vitamins makes you smell yucky to mosquitos.

Another option for Omega 3 is flaxseed oil capsules.

I take Vitamin D; I had my levels tested and was a little low so my doctor recommended supplements. Other than that I take flaxseed and a multivitamin, but I'm not as consistent as I should be so I can't really say if they make a difference or not. I'm trying to eat better, though. Ideally I'd rather get my nutrients from food.
