Wondering if I'm missing anything.

I take.... Multi, Calcium, Vitamin D, Fish Oil, Flax Seed, B6.  Am going to start taking B12 and St. John's Wort.

What do you take?

    I take a chewable prenatal vitamin because I am 7 years old, lol!  No really I am 99% more likely to take it every day if it's chewable.

    Before I start any sort of supplementing I first have a panel run with my endo...  Some vitamins can cause some crazy-nasty side effects if you OD on them... 

    That said, if you're taking D and B12, those are two that if you're low there can be a marker of auto-immune problems involving the thyroid as well...  Hence, why I have my endo run the vitamin panels and have them redone every year to make sure I'm not over or under supplementing.  I also am on high-dose Vitamin D (prescription) just to maintain a normal reading.

    A multivitamin and vit D and beta carotene due to deficiency/malabsorption.

    I used to take fish oil but I stopped because I couldn't stand the fish burps, even with the "odorless" pills.

    Prenatal, fish oil & evening primrose oil, B complex (I only take this a few times a week because it makes me break out. I wouldn't take it at all but I'm 98% vegan so my doc was concerned about B12). 

    I occasionally take a probiotic as well.

    I just take a regular multivitamin.  When I feel a tickle in my throat, I also take vitamin C and Eucinacea to prevent a cold (and that has been working well for me for several years now!)

    I could never take a lot of vitamins.  It's difficult enough on me to take the multivitamin - I have to make sure and take it with a big meal, sometime before it gets too late in the evening - otherwise I will puke.  I have a weak/sensitive stomach and taking pills (any pills) makes me nauseous.
