Which vitamin supplement is best?

I am taking a daily multi vitamin and will be running out soon. Which brand, type etc. do folks find to be the best? Also, any tips on fish oil pills, calcium magnesium and b vitamin supplements folks use? What dosage do you recommend?

I get soft chewable omega 3 (fish oil) from GNC - orange flavored. I chew Centrum multi-vitamin. I get calcium from Viactiv soft chews and use a chewable vitamin D (children's - 500 IU)- I order them online. I don't take any B's.

I take a daily called Complete One which I purchased from Puritan Pride, you can request a catalog or look online. I take B complex, recommended by my dr. since I am diabetic. I take 600 mg. calcium am and 600 pm., recommended by my nutritionist. I also take magnesium to help with calcium absorption, recommended by nutritionist. I think there is alot of benefits to taking the fish oil. I personally put ground flax seed on my yogurt daily, I think you get more of the omegas from this than the fish oil, but at times I opt for the fish oil.

I buy the store generic Vitamin products. I have not had any issues with them and my doctor tests my blood monthly to see where my vitamin levels are at. Blood results are good, so far. Thank goodness!

I have not tried any oil vitamin products, because love fish and eat plenty of it.

I take the generic centrum from cvs. They have buy one get one pretty often on that. I also get my chewable vitamin d there. On my omega I get that at vitaminshoppe.com. I get coromega. I like the plain orange. It doesnt taste bad and seems to get the job done. Best of luck.

I have been taking the same liquid vitamin since banded 10/07. They sell it at both Costco and Sam's club and it is about $13-$15 a bottle, 1 bottle per month. It is a red bottle called liquidmax or vitamax. It tastes like a handful children's vitamins but you can get used to it quickly. I have had 2 blood work ups since my surgery and both were great and my doctor was quite pleased.
