Vitamins for Your Health

I am a huge vitamin nut and think it's really important to keep nutrients flowing to your body. I am a big proponent on taking supplements to fill in the "voids" for those foods you just don't get enough of.

* Please note: Don't just take any old vitamin or supplement without first getting examined and having blood work done by your doctor.

Nikki's Vitamins:
1. Multi-vitamin (make sure it indicates over 100%)
2. Omega 3
3. Calcium
4. Probiotics
5. D3 (Sunshine vitamin)
6. Kelp
7. Iron
8. B12
9. Vitamin C

I don't really eat too much red meat or spinach, so I have to take iron. I did go to the doctor and he told me I was deficient in it. I don't eat a lot of fish (only tuna fish but has to have all the bad stuff in it like mayonnaise, etc.) so I do take Omega's. They are essentially a fish supplement that have a lot of great benefits to taking them.
 
I really don't drink milk often (I do drink Almond or Soy milk occasionally in cereal) so I take my calcium. I take probiotics, as they help the bacteria in your gut. I really don't get sunshine from tanning all the time, so I take D3. I take kelp, as it is good for your thyroid (helps regulate your metabolism, along with taking B12. I take Vitamin C to keep a healthy immune system, so I don't get sick.

I am by no means a health guru, but I do want to take care of my body. If you would like to learn more info. on what certain supplements do, then please check out this website for supplements.
