I'm 65 and take one tablet for each

High cholesterol

I thought of taking collagen for my skin and nails but don't want to overload my body.

I thought I was taking a lot of meds but reading these replies it's shocking but pleasing that there is medication out there to help peoples health.

I didn't take anything until I was diagnosed with cancer aged 61.

A low dose of an antidepressant
A proton pump inhibitor for my stomach

And on top of all that, I have all sorts of HRT stuff prescribed

Because of all the above I feel great 😁

I am 64 and although I don't take any prescribed medication, I did have high blood pressure, whilst caring for my Dad at end of life last year I and managed to bring it down, to within normal range, with Beetroot tablets, so I take them, plus a tomato supplement (lycopene) for heart health and a sleep supplement (containing passionflower, magnesium, montmorency cherry, chamomile, lemon balm & vit B6) for chronic insomnia.

@Worryabouteverything 70.5years old and take absolutely nothing!!! and my BP is still exactly the same as it was when I was 18!!!

Typically: vitamin D over winter. Maybe a multivitamin if I'm feeling run down.

This week: antibiotics 4x a day, plus anti inflammatorys twice a day. I'm struggling to keep ontop of what and when and fitting in food. Going back to work next week could be fun. Think I'm going to have to set my alarm clock 40 mins earlier just to swallow a tablet nearly an hour before I eat. It's complicated

I’m 55. I take a ridiculous amount of supplements. I am always looking for magic bullets to make me sleep well and be less tired, balance blood sugar so I can be less hungry and lose a few pounds, and help with anxiety.

Prescribed: HRT

Chromium
Tyrosine
Fish oil

Creatine
Psilyum husk
