    Supriya,

    I am not sure how the multi vitamin tablets work for me, but I have been taking Kirkland Brand from Costco. It is a jar with 500 tablets....just does not seem to finish.

    Supriya,

    It is OTC for me.

    Msquare - Your mom is right. Women need to take care of our calcium needs.

    Hi,

    I used to take Women's 1-a-day (OTC) Sam's brand before pregnancy. Since I got pregnant and while I was feeding my little one, my Gynec had prescribed a pre-natal multi-vitamin (with more folic acid and iron).

    I guess we women need a multi-vitamin that is rich in folic acid, omega3 and of-course calcium. Guess they help!!

    Malathy

    PS: Supriya, why have this discussion local to USA & Canada? I guess this is a more health related discussion and I am moving it to the Diet & Nutrition forum, so that even ladies in other parts of the world share about the supplements they take.

    Hi Supriya,

    I take a multi-vitamin capsule every other day, just an OTC one. I also take an omega 3 supplement everyday (a spoonful of flax seed oil) as my diet does not contain an adequate amount.

    Tiredness almost always has a physical or emotional cause. Physical: underactive thyroid, anaemia; emotional: stress, anxiety...are some of the causes. If you feel that it is affecting the quality of your everyday life then get it checked out.
