i found recently that the Women's One-a-Day's make me throw up!  It was really strange.  I would eat it after my breakfast too.  So weird.  So anyway, long story short, no vitamins for me!  I have discussed this with doctors and they say that if you're eating a fairly balanced diet that you don't really need the supplements.  Calcium is a bit different...I wish I could make myself remember!

mind you, i am not a doctor, but do you eat fruits and veggies? if so, it's not really necessary to take vitamins. i was on a huge health kick a few years ago and read (almost) everything i could get my hands on on nutrition. there's a lot of information out there, but one thing i found that was really interesting were articles relating to vitamins and how they are just designed to make money. sure, it's obvious they are there to make money, but the way they advertise sometimes makes it seem like they are absolutely necessary. and they're not. just eat a variety of fruits and veggies (++ if they are organic and local) and you will get plenty of vitamins. plus, i think it's better to get my vitamins from natural sources rather than chemicals. just wanted to put it out there......not knocking anyone who takes vitamins.

haha...kara posted before me....at least you can see she talked to doctors . there's lots of veggies that supply calcium. you'd be surprised at how much calcium you can get from some veggies, as opposed to drinking a glass of milk. you don't need to drink milk. now milk....that's a whole other story.

I take a multi, iron, calcium and D.  I'm low on the last 3, and figured that a multi can't hurt.
