I take multivitamin (general wellbeing) and calcium tablet (you need calcium for muscle movement apparently).
I only 1 a day when the pack says you could take 2 a day.

Umm no, but it's just that the digestion system prioritise calcium over iron so it would be somewhat bogus to take iron at the same time. Also, calcium is naturally a more reactive metal than iron :uhhuh:.

I take vitamin c and e

I get sick a lot so I take c to help me get better quicker. If I get a sore 8 out of 10 times it gets inected and leaves a scar so I take vitamin e and zinc to help gt rid of the scarrs. man I get infected sores a lot I dunno what it is... prolly cos I do a lot of running around running errans (sp?) and also I go to some o my friends houses and sometimes play footy or whatever... depends I guess I duno but yeah thats why I take vitamins etc.

It doesnt get infected if I take the vitamins so I guess rigth now I dont get a lot of infected sores at all but Im saying if I stopped then yeah

* An occasional calcium tablet with (250mg calcium and 50mg magnesium)
* Spirulina

It seems like everybody is taking something.

I take iron supplements because I'm rather anemic.
I need to have blood tests every two or so months. It's irritating. :(

If you don't eat well or exercise, no amount of supplements will make you healthy enough to prevent sickness.
