So I'm a female in my mid-twenties with no major health problems. I take a multivitamin and am thinking about starting to take extra calcium. I think I have my bases covered with that, but I just wanted to see if there was anything else I should be taking to prevent problems in the future. What is your daily vitamin regimen, and why do you take what you take?

B-complex
Estrotone (i LOVE LOVE LOVE this product, its a herbal hormone balancer and reduces hormonal acne and also makes you not have cramps)

Fish Oil - for my Omega 3's
Vitamin D3 - 7500 IU per day
Vitamin C - Ascorbic Acid 5-7g per day
Vitamin K2
Magnesium - I use the Orotate form as it is best absorbed.
Vitamin E - all 8 full spectrum. I use Jarrow FamillE
Vitamin B-Complex - I use Jarrow B-Right
Zinc - 50 mg but only a few times a week
Taurine - 2g a day
Melatonin - 3mg when I want to sleep really soundly

Wow, xbox... You are really stuffing yourself with pills. Do you think this is the best way to go?

[Prodigy87]

400MG Alpha Lipoic Acid
50MG Zinc
2000MG Vitamin C
400 IU Vitamin E
10000 IU Vitamin A (Cod Liver Oil)
1000MG Calcium
800 IU Vitamin D
2 B-Complex50
400mcg Chromium Picolinate

Think I got the numbers right. This is spread throughout the day. I don't eat dairy and winter months up north are brutal so that is why the Calcium/Vitamin D. I just recently started all these amounts/pills but I've had only positive effects so far. I don't expect to see any miracle clears, hopefully within a few months my skin is better. If it works out I'll be sure to post a thread by itself. I hate taking all these pills yet I don't think it hurts. If I'm killing myself with all these pills someone please tell me hah.

I definitely think it is beneficial. I don't do it just for my skin (although that is a big reason). I take all this stuff to help my heart and other organs. Hopefully I am also slowing down the aging process. These supplements should also be beneficial since I am trying to gain muscle by weight lifting. In the end, I definitely think these help my body in some way and that is why I take them.
