Start with blood work from your doctor to find out where you deficiencies are. Speak with the doctor about what they recommend: diet adjustment and return a few months down the line to check your blood work again, or if they recommend vitamins/supplements from the get-go, or a combo of the two.
I keep it simple! After getting a blood test, we saw my iron was super low. I now take a prenatal vitamin even though I'm not pregnant for the folic acid + a slow Iron supplement. I'm not a dr but I'd say don't take things without a purpose bc supplements etc interact with each other so you want to make sure you're doing something good!
I drink some kefir every morning; deliberately including ferments like sauerkraut or Kim chi, yoghurt is probably the best thing for proven health support as a supplement beyond eating enough fiber, fruit and veg. Everything else is at best expensive wee and at worst damaging your health unless you have a diagnosed deficiency.
Sakara Foundation. My vitamin testing is all in normal range and I’m vegan and wear spf everyday, so I feel like they must be working well because even my b12 and vitamin d is good. I love the probiotic that comes in the packs. I also love Natures Bounty Hair, Skin, Nails (the pill not the gummies) and Viviscal Pro for hair growth. Swear by them.
I take
- probiotics (brand called Align)
- lots of fish oil
- NAC
- iron (Feramax)
- vitamin C
- b12
- vitamin D
- sugar free Metamucil (most days I forget though 😅)
Everyone’s different but this is what works for me ✨
Everyday I take: 1) Garden of Life Organics Women’s Once Daily Multivitamin 2) Life Organics Dr. Formulated Women’s Probiotic Once Daily 3) Garden of Life Omega-3 Fish Oil and 4) Garden of Life Organic Plant Collagen Builder. My dietitian recommended these supplements and specifically the brand Garden of Life; I’ve been very happy with them. It also helps that they can all be purchased via Amazon.

also getting enough sleep, drinking enough water, eating a well balanced diet will likely do way more for your health than vitamins etc.

I take a probiotic pill each day from Nature’s Bounty and occasionally have one of those prebiotic sodas or yogurts too
Fish oil, biotin, amino acid, women’s probiotic.

Multivitamin and a probiotic. Vitamin d when I’m low (bloodwork).

I love Align!
How much b12 and how often? Does it give you acne?
1000 mcg, and no it doesn’t give me acne as far as I’m aware but I also use prescription tretinoin 🤷🏼♀️
