Do you eat all your vitamins?

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

I was recently chewed out by my doctor because I had a critical lack of Vitamin C in my body (well-within scurvy territory, actually) due to how much water I drink, how generally unbalanced my diet is and how frantic and chaotic modern life can become.

I was ordered to buy and consume these supplements immediately:

These cost a pretty penny, but they are supposed to help with the --noticeable-- decline on my overall health, so I'd say it balances out.

What about you? Is this something you pay attention to at all?

I tried to balance things out & wound up with a magnesium deficiency for a few weeks. Electrolytes are competitive lil bastards & too much of one can deplete another.

It can also be the cause of thinning hair , especially when people take a lot of Zinc for colds. I take a zinc-copper supplement & large doses of d3, especially in the winter

I do take these regularly:

All my meds are awfully expensive, but my family helps me buying em :)

Being an online Goblin I mostly an lacking on Vitamin D, but living in a country with a mostly rural economy does have some advantages, and I do get a lot from just eating normally. Like produce is very accessible, even in restaurants or urban areas.

I take vitamin d3 and iron because i donate plasma (please tell the all demises of donating plasma) other than that i just take centurm.

I do take some vitamin D every now and again, since I live in a place with fairly little sunshine and apparently my body needs a boost sometimes during winter.

Beyond that I've currently got an iron deficiency, so I'm getting shots every now and again - kind of annoying, but also sort of good news, since I'm pretty hopeful that it'll improve my overall energy level and help with my depression in the long run.

I a lover of natural juices, I drink a lot of vitamin-rich juices like guava, acerola, passion fruit, and orange.

I do take the "One A Day" brand of gummies, usually at the end of the day before bed. As I live in the Pacific Northwest and am a stereotypical West Coast coffee junkie, I often consume the pipin' hot brown bean drink to the point of getting jitters and twitches. Adding some vitamins back into my system at night seems like the very least I can do to offset that

i eat a shit ton of vitamin rich foods and also take a lot of vitamin supplements because i want the viruses to tell horror stories about me

I take a children's chewable multivitamin that has iron in it otherwise I'd be anemic and more malnourished because I always cut back on groceries first when I am looking at lowering expenses and also the normal adult vitamins absolutely wreck my stomach and I can't keep them down.
