You can get that in a pill? and it still has the same benefits? I need to take that for my kidney stone thing. For the kidney stone affliction, natural pathic is the only way to go. The medical field is worthless and expensive.
I have been taking Zinc and B6 for a couple weeks, nightly. Been on this routine for a couple of weeks, I'll finish soon. I never do anything for long; the benefits of supplement are stronger when you get off and on them.

i've taken chromium picolinate in the past for weight loss but i've read many times that it may cause cancer (it's in this article too). the chromium in my centrum multi vitamin is chromium chloride and there is a warning to not take it if you have diabetes or hypoglycemia. i'm thinking about finding another multi vitamin. http://www.bodybuildingforyou.com/weight-loss-etc/chromium-picolinate-information.htm

What can chromium picolinate do for me?
Chromium is essential for a healthy metabolism, especially as you get older. If you aren’t getting enough chromium, you may feel run down or have trouble keeping weight off.
Taking chromium picolinate daily can result in significant health benefits, like:
Increased energy
Improved weight control
Better carbohydrate metabolism
Ahh... I knew I had a good reason for taking it. I just couldn't remember why. Maybe I need to add some gingko or something for memory too.

I take fish oil caplets (I don't like fish, and sadly, fish is essential to one's health), but I don't take flaxseed. I've always believed that they were both a source of OMEGA fatty acids. Is it necessary to take both?
No time to be void or save up on life. You got to spend it all.

They're both a good source of omega 3 efa's, but you don't have to take both. One or the other should be fine.
Just wondering what kinds of things you guys take, and why you take the ones you do.
i take:
centrum multi vitamin - my doctor recommended it....said it's a good, all-round vitamin that if you eat half-way decent, helps fill in any of your vitamin deficiency gaps.
fish oil capsules - i have just read so, so, soooo much saying how much *good* they do for your health/body.
i DO really try to get the bulk of my nutrients thru food tho. eat a LOT of fruit.....some veggies...nuts....cheese......fish.....then chicken/pork/beef....try to REALLY limit the *junk* i consume. sure, i still eat it .....but i try to keep it to the minimum.
btw - my doctor also recommended taking your vitamins at night before bed. firstly, less likely to forget if you make it a part of your bedtime ritual, but also it has all night to be absorbed well into your system. so i've been doing so for years.
i don't take anything but i'm thinking about getting some fish oil...seems to be really good as so many of you take it.
does anybody know something that is good for your eyes?
from training, talking to people with knowledge in nutrition, and reading research results over the years i've come to the conclusion that most vitamins, multi-vitamins and supplements as such are a waste of money. long term use can also do a number on your kidneys and liver...for some people.
you can get all the nutrients you need from real food sources. if someone has an allergy, then some supplementation could be required, but otherwise most people i know and have heard from have said not to waste your money on things that aren't really doing anything for you other than making it difficult for your body to break them down.
there are exceptions, of course, to everything and some dietary supplements can be useful. vitamins and multi-vitamins, especially, are the biggest scam and can ultimately do your body more damage than good.

That's great mookie. I'll stick with my doctors' advice though.
multivitamins - I have food intolerances, so there's a lot of stuff containing vitamins I can't eat
B6 - I need about 10 times the recommended daily dose
glucosamine for the joints
damn, I sound twice my age

I have recently seen articles that say our food today has considerably less of the nutrients that food did back in the 30's/40's/50's. There are several reasons, I believe including the fact that the soil gets depleted of its nutrients after a while, and that is where the plants get their nutrients. Also much of our food is now transported for long distances and over time food loses nutrition. Then there is the time that it sits in the grocery store too. Also, most of our food comes from corporate farms and the plants are "engineered" to produce quantity - not quality. So there are sources that claim we cannot get "good" nutrition from our food. We get adequate nutrition.
The most recent article came from a Hammer newsletter, which is a sporting company that sells fuel for athletes and is now selling a huge quantity of nutritional supplements, so you have to "consider the source." But Hammer says that the gov't minimum recommended allowance is the "bare minimum" of nutrition. And that optimally it is better to get more. Also, athletes need more too, and it is hard to get it from out nutritionally inadequate food when eating reasonable portions.
I cannot quote my sources, except for the Hammer newsletter because I can't remember where I have seen it. Has if anyone else has read or seen anything on the nutritional adequacy of our food?

Yes, I have. Like yourself I don't have a long list of referenced articles, but much of what you say here about the depleted nutrition of our foods I have also read. But then I've also read about the harm that over consumption of vitamins can do to the liver as mookie mentioned.
It's all a balance I guess.

Sure, I've read about this as well, but I think the point mookie is getting at is that 9 times out of 10, a person looks to supplements before they even attempt to improve their diet in general. And 9 times out of 10, you can change something about your diet so you don't have to take the supplement. Our food today may be somewhat reduced as far as nutrients go, but it's not to the point where we need to rely on supplements. The more whole foods you eat, the higher thermic effect you get from digestion, which allows you to take in more calories without gaining fat. By default, this allows you to take in more micro nutrients that you get from supplements.
I used to take vitamins, but now just eat healthy.. 90% of my diet consists of apples, bananas, orange juice, milk, broccoli, carrots, mixed nuts, chicken, pasta and of course, red wine.
Grab a full spectrum one a day to make up for the soil nutrient raping todays farming methods employ, or get as much organic to counter this.
Fish oil and/or 3-6-9 caps, A good dose of organic flax seeds in the blender daily with some fruit, and whey, and ice is nice. The rest should all come from diet. If you drink Soy milk that stuff is well fortified as well, and delicious. Ample amounts of fruit and veg, I'm pretty much addicted these days to deliciously seasoned baked whole chicken, organic sweet potatoes, and freshly steamed brussel sprouts lightly (sea) salted with olive oil. mmm...
