I take a vitamin supplement that I am a distributor for. The brand is Nutrilite and it is the only vitamin that meet and exceed FDA and pharmaceutical standard on biological product. I take the following items:
The multi vitamin (whole foods supplement) to get folic acid of 800mg/day
Iron fortified with folic acid and it gives me an additional 600mg/day of folic acid
Omega 3 for all over health.

Do you take any vitamins or supplements? I have to take a prenatal and a daily protein shake (the powder)
If so what do you take? Target brand prenatal and Kroger brand protein
How much?1 prenatal and 1 25 gram (I think its gram) serving of protein. I need to take 25 to 50 grams of it a day.
And what do you take it for? I need to take both for my IVF. I guess both protein and prenatals help the IVF procedures.

Do you take any vitamins or supplements? Yes
If so what do you take?This cycle I'm switching it up with Geritol, then my normal extra folic acid, vit D and fish oil.

How much? Geritol- one dose whatever it is, an extra 800 folic acid, can't remember the #'s in the D and fish oil.
And what do you take it for? Geritol has been totted as a fertility thing, so figured it can't hurt. It actually has more stuff in it than the pre natal.

Do you take any vitamins or supplements? Yes

If so what do you take? Prenatal vitamin, Prometrium, Mini Asprin, Metformin.

How much? I"m really not sure on the amounts. the mini asprin is 81mg i think. and the metformin is 500mg (or g I always get it mixed up) 2x a day. it's also the extended release tablets.

And what do you take it for? prenatals - for all the obvious reasons;

Prometrium is a progesterone suppliment that i take after O b/c my levels have been low in the past. I take mine orally, however my friend has the same script and hers is a suppository..idk why.

the baby asprin is for blood clots, although i've never been known to have any (and have been tested for clotting disorder and it's normal) it's just a precaution and it can't really hurt anything.

the metformin I take to promote ovulation.

seeing all of you that take fish oils really makes me interested in looking into taking it....
