I take vitamin D3, Folic Acid and Vitamin B12. I was advised to take these indefinitely, by a private GP 20 years ago.

Only VitD and cod liver oil in capsule form. As discussed before, taking too many supplements is expensive and often pointless, as the body will simply expel any surplus it doesn’t need.

That's good to know though, that I can't over vitamin myself

I take a B and a D vitamin to improve my nails. After 2 years it hasn't helped my nails, but my hair is thick and healthy and I have practically no hair loss.

What do you take and what benefit have you noticed?

I've been taking Centrum Silver for 2 months as I know I am iron, vitamin D and calcium deficient. I thought I'd get something for everything

I didn't think I was getting much benefit but my hair was very thin and my nails brittle after a period of severe illness a couple of years ago but I've now noticed my nails are better and I have some new baby hairs coming in! I would guess that physical changes are more apparent

These are expensive though.

So I thought I would ask what others take and what benefit they feel?
