I just ordered some supplements online and was wondering if anyone else takes them and what you think of them?
I didn't order multivitamins because they recently got bad press that suggested they may not do you any good and I thought I should just eat more fruit and veg. But I did order omega 3 and st johns wort (for pmt and occasional comedown). I got soem glucosamine for my dog too because he's getting old and achey.
I bought some milk thistle too the other week but I have no idea if I should be taking them daily or just when I'm going out partying?

I also take a flaxseed supplement, I have a superfoods supplement too which is a powdered form of all these weird superfoods, and i mix half a teaspoon with smoothie. It tastes a bit weird but I do feel a lot less run down in general since ive been taking those things.
The only other things are echinacea and probiotics if im actually getting ill - i dont take them all the time as apparently echinacea is not as effective if you do. I save those for when i feel a cold coming on.
I also take fenugreek occasionally as its fab for boosting milk supply
Don't know if you're on the pill or not, but if you are, is worth bearing in mind that st. john's wort can make it less effective
:yes: also it can interfere with other presscription meds so best check with your doctor if this applies and you are thinking of taking this.
Which Omega 3?
Fish Body Oil is supposed to be better then something like Flax Seed Oil
