I see a lot of threads about supplements and herbs on sz.com but I don’t hear too much about simply taking a multi-vitamin. So about a month ago I started taking Centrum Silver for over 50 with minerals. I really feel a difference. It seems like my appetite is lower and I feel like I’m fighting off germs better. I also notice my skin is healthier, little breakouts and other blemishes are healing faster or just not coming up as often so my skin looks better. I’ve had a rough patch but other than that I feel like I have a bit more energy. I think if you’re considering adding a supplement, a good multi-vitamin might be a good place to start. I personally prefer one that comes with minerals as well.

Excellent! Do you feel that it helps you? I think I’ve been lacking in b vitamins and I’m starting to get those levels up a bit.
To be honest, I’m not consistently taking it so I can’t say…

Are you just being forgetful or is there something bothering you about the vitamins?
I’m just forgetful 
I am too honey. I decided to set up a system to help me remember but I’m still forgetting sometimes. It’s hard because you need to take it with food and I kinda don’t think about anything but eating when I’m eating lol. I wish I could just take it with my meds, but that doesn’t work.
btw I love your screen name, one of my favs

I want to take fruits and vegetables to laboratory testing to find out what nutrients they contain.
It is better to get your nutrients from natural sources.

Yeah I need to be more regular about taking mine because I can’t always guarantee I’ll get a good diet

I have always taken a multivitamin.
Currently I’m taking a multivitamin similar to Centrum Silver.
It was designed for people over 50 years old.
Taking a multivitamin everyday is a simple way of gaining essential nutrients our bodies need.

Oh that’s great! Boy I wish I would have gotten a multi-vitamin years ago. Oh well, at least I’m doing it now. I like that Centrum for over 50, that’s good stuff.

I like your avatar. Do you follow astrology at all, even for fun?
Thank you @Leaf.
No I don’t follow astrology much any more.
I like the Sun and Moon symbolism.

I was gonna say my sign is on the cusp of leo and cancer, so I’m both. I guess that makes me bossy and emotional. Which sounds right. lol

I just started taking the women’s One a Day 50+ this morning so i am very happy to read your post! I take 30mg of haldol, which zaps my energy. I finally decided to add a regular, good, multivitamin to my med container rather than just occasionally munching a gummy vitamin. I’m only 47 but I’m in menopause so I went for the 50+.
I hope we’re both on to something!

That’s great, thanks for letting me know that. And by the way welcome to the forum. It’s very nice to have you here. I hope you find this a nice place to come and make friends and get a chance at some networking for much needed peer support as well as a place where your experience may be support for others.

Thank you! I’ve only been here for three days but I love it so far. I always feel so alone and I need a place where I can talk to others with my same situation. I don’t have a car so I don’t go to the local support group. I tried two other forums but one closed and I didn’t like the other. This one is good.
