Hello everyone,

How are you today?

I take a multivitamin in the morning and was wondering if you all do the same? Any time I'm starting to feel like I may be getting sick, I start to drink a bunch of orange juice and I make sure to take my vitamins. Usually this, paired with rest will help me personally.

Do you take vitamins? Do you use a fancy vitamin direct-to-home service or buy them at your grocery store? Do you think they help or is it a placebo?

Share your thoughts! I will tag a few members to get the conversation started 😉

Take care,

Lizzi

Due to prior medical issues can’t take any type of DMT or any pain med for MS so my arsenal is a vitamin regimen of hi dose ALA,D3, B12,B1, collagen, C and one script of clemastine along with daily exercise/stretching. It’s not perfect but it’s all my team can do.

I actually don't take a daily multivitamin myself.  I used to take one for a while, but my doctor actually recommended stopping after some blood tests showed I wasn't deficient in any vitamins.  She suggested focusing on getting nutrients from a balanced diet instead.

That said, I know some people swear by their multivitamins, and there can definitely be benefits depending on your individual needs.  If you're concerned about vitamin deficiencies, it's always a good idea to talk to your doctor.  They can do a blood test to see if there are any specific vitamins or minerals you might be low in, and then recommend the best course of action.
