Which vitamins do you think have made a difference for you?

[C1239]

If you take vitamin supplements have you noticed a difference in how you feel?

Apologies, what biotin do you use?

bugeyedowl

Aah, sorry, which biotin do you use?

Sorry ☺️

Magnesium for my restless arms. Can't live without it
B12
Iron with vit c
Seven seas capsules (they have a bit of everything so it's a good one to start with)
Biotin occasionally
I also take Sambucol chewables in the winter months for my immune system

I feel like I need to get some vitamin D but I think the seven seas contains it

Magnesium helps with my restless legs syndrome.

magnesium (citrate) as I tend to get leg cramps at night without

vit d3 daily I really notice if I don't

a multi vit containing iron one week (THAT week) a month

This is a really interesting thread. I was taking about vitamins with someone last week and they said that the ones you get in supermarkets aren’t worth taking, as they’re poor quality. I’ve always bought supermarket’ vitamins! I had to check everything I took with my oncologist ehe I was undergoing chemo, to make sure nothing contradicted. She never mentioned anything about them being poor quality What does everyone else think?

Glucosamine for joints and cod liver oil

I took seven seas trying for a baby, spatone and vitamin c (emergence c?). My hair definitely improved, lots of new hair growth. Not sure there was any other benefit though

Vit D spray
Vit B12
Vit C 1000mg if im feeling below par
Glucosamine for my 59yr old joints

If i skip these im like a slug

I'm in the NW too and red hair and my levels were shocking

Aldi does a great range of supplements/vitamins. I take turmeric and all my joint pains are a distant memory. Also magnesium - no more cramps in my legs in the night. I use a Vitamin D spray - also from Aldi but they've not had it for ages so I got the last lot from eBay.

Could you share which Lumity vitamins you take specifically?

Thanks.

I need something to boost my immune system as I've been unwell on and off since November.

Could you share what ingredients you use?

Many thanks.

I take the female day and night ones. They are expensive though. I thought I’d try for 3 months and see - especially as my client dodged all illnesses over winter taking them.

For the immune system as a minimum I’d start on a vitamin D if you don’t already.

Can anyone recommend good brands?

Magnesium has helped me manage a neurological disorder and depression.

@TwoBigNoisyBoys AFAIK UK packaging and standards laws means if a packet says the contents contain X amount of Vit C, thats what they contain.

Before trying Lumity I was using Wild Nutrition- high quality, food grown supplements. You can also have a chat for free with one of their nutritionists if you’re unsure of what you need.

I love this thread and now may have a
ccidentally bought more !

Can they be spread out over the day so I am not trying to digest too many at once ?

I have got some joint ones with magnesium in them...are they better to take at night time / bed time seeing as the magnesium has a sleep affect ?

Or maybe alternate days ?

Thanks @Thelnebriati I guessed as much but I wasn’t sure; I suppose it’s a case of doing the research and seeing what the difference is in cheap vs expensive, if any.

Had vouchers for boots so have got some stuff from there.

Has anyone tried or heard much about the Dr vegan vitamin supplements? They seem to have quite good reviews.

Not a vitamin but I take starflower oil capsules after a recommendation on here. I had horrendously sore boobs as soon as I ovulated every month until I got my period and it’s totally stopped that. My periods have got lighter and shorter too, whether that’s to do with the supplement or not I don’t know.

thanks for the info on tumeric, sounds like that’s another one to try.

I have ordered some tumeric and ?
Can't remember what else it includes poss vit D .
Boots have a 3 for 2 on their vitamins at the moment and if you pay with points it is even cheaper.

I started on some CBD gummies 10 days ago..
I felt different...but in a good way.
I wondered if it was a placebo affect and stopped them for a few days ..
Nope ,it was not a placebo effect !

They were doing something good to me and I am now back on them .

Wow !!!
