Which types of vitamins work best for your body?

I to use multi vitamins but I've been trying the multi vitamin w/ECG(green tea). I've noticed that it help me get energenic along with losing a few pounds. and the reason I say this is because when I ran out I've noticed a big difference in my daily activity. I was tire all the time I gain the weight I did lose back and my whole attitude in general change. But I also take B12(500mg) with them also now and I'm finding that along with trying to eat right(NOTICED TRYING to eat right) I'm returning to myself again. Plus I don't know if this is really adding to it I eat alot of bananas.

I see , u need something , what can improve your energy.try to drink green tea, it helps me to have energy for all day.I am drinking 8 glasses a day and feel very good.It concits antioxidant, what is really good for your body. From vitamins or minerals I will recommend magnesium.When I had pain in my bones and cannot moved, it helps really much. I hope it will help you too.

I have an condition that includes anemia, so I take Iron, B-6. B-12 and folic acid.Usually a B-complex just so i don't have to worry about buying 4 or 5 jars ,or that I'll forget one or the other.

Well, first of all, I want to say that taking whole food vitamins is the best thing for your body because you can actually absorb them. Synthetic vitamins (most vitamins at regular retail stores) are not whole foods, they are chemical "look a likes" that your body can only absorb with food, and even then, you get very little benefit from them. The best brand of whole food vitamins is New Chapter and if you have a local Vitamin Shoppe around, they sell them there. Otherwise, you can order from their web site. Secondly, as we get older, our bodies do change, therefore, I would suggest going with a vitamin that is formulated to that effect. New Chapter does indeed have a vitamin they call Every Woman's One Daily II. It is for women forty and over. They have different ones for prenatal, etc. Their vitamins are a little more expensive ($32 for 60 pills) but if you look at it, that is $.50 a day...not bad for something you actually can absorb. I will also warn against paying too much attention to mg and mcg counts on synthetic versus whole food vitamins. Why? Because whole food vitamins usually have less mg or mcg than synthetic but that is because of two things. #1 - mg and mcg are merely measures of weight, not potency. 25 mg of whole food calcium may be more potent than 1000mg of synthetic calcium. #2 - when you have more absorbability of the vitamin, you don't need as much of it and you will find that a lot of vitamins you can only absorb so much a day..your body passes the rest. (Ever notice how your urine changes color when you take synthetic vitamins?? You aren't absorbing them, just passing them through the kidneys.) I know that was a lot in reference to your question, but as a natural health professional, I try to be sure to cover all the bases so everyone knows where I am coming from...it is a habit. HOPE THIS HELPS!!

I often worry about the same thing. I know as moms we are often so worried about making sure our family is fed that we forget to care about whether or not we are eating nutrisiously. I know I am the worlds worst about skipping breakfast. The only vitamins I am taking right now are a multi vitamin and a calcium supplement. I am on the birth control shot which can cause bone deterioration so it's important for me (especially since I'm already short) to get as much extra calcium that I can. I would love to know which vitamins are good for giving you more energy. Between the heat and working and taking care of the family I've been feeling pretty drained lately.

The best vitamins for my (and i believe most peoples) body is sure the ones you get naturally. I mean through a healthy diet plenty of fruit, vegetables and corn. That always worked for me.

whe i was pregnant i was taking muli-vitamins called prenatal specialy for that period.they were fine for me!

Do you know who discovered vitamin c? One of the most important vitamin and it discovered by a hungarian person called Albert Szent-Györgyi. So that's my best worker vitamin. I need lots of vitamin C 'cause I smoking and that get off the vitamin C from my body. For the hair as I know vitamin E can help. Anyway, I always use multivitamins - mostly Supradyn.
