Vitamins and supplements I have heard of are vitamin b12, vitamin d, prenatal vitamins,

calcium, zinc ,iron, folate, then of course you have your vitamins a, c, and e. There are so

many different types out there for our bodies and what we need. The main supplements we

need are vitamin c and d. These are two very important supplements for our body because

one supports our immune system and the other supports our bones. I believe that these

vitamins are nutrition science because each one of these vitamins are nutrients our body

needs to function on a daily basis. With out these essential vitamins our bodies would be

weak and could cause physical and health damages. We do not take in enough of these

vitamins through out the day, which is why its very important that you maintain the

removed they where so rotten they became infected. During that time I was pregnant with

my daughter and I wanted to breastfeed my daughter like my sister did with her children so

I had to do some research on what causes vitamin d deficiency. I ended up using vitamin d

drops that was FDA approved brands. I believed the nutrition science because vitamins are

needed to function and for growth as well as to help our immune system. when I get sick or

even if I feel I'm gonna get sick I use the emergency it's full of vitamin C. I think the

science of it is true because everything we eat does not give us enough of the nutrients we

need to fight off colds or make sure our bones are strengthen. That is why we take vitamins

to do what the food was not able to contribute. The vitamins I have heard of are the basics

such as, Vitamin A, B, C, and D. I have also heard of things like fish oil, folic acid, fiber,

and turmeric. One thing I have learned from being in college is how to recognize a fake

article/post/website. I pay attention closely to where I get my information. That is with just

about anything. I look for FDA approvals and I like to read the research on the particular

subject I am interested in purchasing and consuming. But to be honest I am very interested

in science and the things that someone can learn from Science. There are also companies

that like to mimic the latest trends. All in all the trend may be something that works but

when something works so does everyone else's idea on it. You can buy something that

claims to do the same thing but for cheaper, but this item has not backing. You have to pay

attention to the accreditation the Suppliers hold. You don't want to take something that does

and vitamins such as Vitamin D CB B 12. When I was younger and my family ran ad stray

dog shelter that we put dogs up for adoption in my step mom used to use certain types of

minerals that would help treat open wounds or sores on dogs and or ringworm or things like

that if they've gotten them called the mineral silver. Almost as if a clear water looking

tasteless mineral but it actually seen it work I'm feeling even humans dogs anyting quicker

when they had an open wound. Some supplements that could be protein creatine mixed

drinks that you can use to get all your protein in your nutrients for workouts or muscle

building fat burning and so on. The way that I tell anything when it comes to nutrition and

supplements if it is it all healthy for you the nutrition facts will be posted right on the side

of whatever it is that you by listing any vitamin mineral nutrient anything that you will be

investing it comes to nutrition orange nutrition facts it is or will be posted on the container

if not then it does not have much or any nutritional value to it. I have heard of many

vitamins which include one a day, multivitamins for children and prenatal, and bariatric

vitamins. I always compare labels to well known vitamins, and ones that my doctor

instructs me to take. If I am unsure about what exactly the vitamin/ingredients are I look

them on the internet to see what others have to say. These past few years it has been

brought to my attention that my son and I both have vitamin D, and folic acid defiencies.

Our doctor prescribed supplements and since the vitamin d is over the counter I had to grab

something on the shelves that matched the amount we needed per day. When I was growing

and helps me with my cycle, so I believe it helps with my nutrients such as iron or fibers.

Over the years I have read labels on bottles to make sure that there is nothing that could

affect my body I also look for FDA approved that would support what to take instead of

taking anything given over the counter or by prescription. When it comes to vitamins for

my children I look for the " USP" tag on the bottle that it shows that it meets the

requirements, not everything is safe in the long run so you want to make sure you read the

bottles to understand what is in the supplements and the side affects. I have been given so

may medications because some doctor only predict what is wrong with you so In the long

run I continue to drink alot of fluids and a B12 vitamin to give me a boost. Vitamins and

supplements I have heard of are Women's One a Day, vitamins, K, D, B12, B6, B8 biotin,

folic acid and multivitamins. I currently take Women's One a Day for my pregnancy. It

contains iron and folic acid. Folic acid is beneficial to the baby's nervous system, so I make

sure I take them daily. B6 has helped me a lot throughout my pregnancy for nausea. When I

am feeling tired, I make sure I take B12 and it gives me a burst of energy.

supplements. Not everything is safe to take nor has it been regulated by the FDA so you

want to be careful not to take just anything presented or given to you. Some vitamins that I

have heard of is Flintstones for kids and also prenatal vitamins. The only vitamins I have

ever taken is prenatal vitamins. I believe that they are based on nutrition science. Prenatal

vitamins help with the development of a woman's baby. They can also help a woman hair

and nails grow. Taking prenatal vitamins are not just for women that are pregnant. They

can be taken before and after pregnancy. As for the Flintstone vitamins, my four kids take

those. They enjoy taking their vitamins everyday. Those vitamins help strengthen children

immune system. Since the pandemic is really when I started giving them vitamins. My

children rarely gets sick. I have noticed that over these past couple of years since they have

supplements that I have heard of is multivitamins, B12, Vitamin D, and Vitamin C. The

way that I decide if the information for the vitamin is based in nutrition science or not is by

doing my research on the vitamins or supplements before I purchase or start taking the

vitamin or supplements. I have started taking Vitamin d and Vitamin C since the start of the

Covid 19 virus. Vitamin D and Vitamin C helps boost your immune system to help you

body fight off viruses. For me since i started taking the vitamins i have not got sick, even

though before the start i would only get sick maybe once a year, but so far in the last year i

have not got sick not even once, and i do work from home now as well so that may also

play a big part in the vitamins working really good as well. I really have no idea when it

my diet went to crap and I stopped taking the workout supplements. Now a days, the

vitamins that I take are folic acids, B-12, and other stuff that the VA says I need to take. I

found out that my blood cells are not being developed as they should and are more of a tear

drop shape, and they are not being absorbed as they should. What does that mean?? More

meds and more vitamins, and most of all, more Folic Acid. I have recently ( last month)

had gastric sleeve surgery along with that some of the vitamins i take daily now are

multivitamins , calcium, biotin, and B12 . From personal experience i have noticed when i

forget to take my vitamins i can tell my body is not fully up to par. I feel sluggish and

weak. My hair falls out much more if i go days without taking them. After surgery i

attended some classes that broke down the importance of taking the vitamins and what ones

are best to take. I will say that staying hydrated is just as important. I was also taught

electrolytes will target the ares its needed and does wonders for the body. After surgery i

did a good amount of surgery I was to nervous to not take the physicians advice about

taking daily vitamins. I do have a friend who did the same surgery at the same time and she

doesn't take any vitamins an says she feels fine. I think once i'm able to open up to new

foods i could be able to cut back on supplements and base vitamins off food being

consumed. I have heard of tons of vitamins such as A, B, B12, C, D, etc. I also have heard

of supplements for anxiety, weight loss, nervousness, probiotics, fish oils, herbs, etc.The

information I base on these vitamins and supplements is based on if they are regulated. If

Alive one a day women vitamin. They do give me energy, but my nails and hair do not

seem like they are growing much from them like it claims they should do. Now when I was

pregnant with my children the prenatal vitamins, I was taking gave me tons of energy. The

best thing I can say about those was that they made my hair and nails grow a lot. I heard

you can still take them after pregnancy but I never really looked much into it. Some of the

vitamins I have heard of are b12, iron, potassium, and multivitamins. I think the

information I received is really based on nutrition science. I think if you do your research

on these vitamins you find out a lot of benefits from them. Or even by taking them you can

feel a difference. A multivitamin has helped me a lot with just overall engergy as well as

hair and nail growth. After having my baby I lost some of hair in the front and taking the

vitamin really helped with it growing back. I think when it comes to taking vitamins each

person needs to do their research and kind of decide for themselves. Even by giving them a

try and seeing how they feel with them.
