Aw, isn&#8217;t sisy sweet! &lt;3 sis.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I bought a multi-vitamin (NatureMade Multi [Vitamin] For Her) a while back but after like, the 3rd consecutive day of taking it (or probably shorter, lol), I\u00a0just kept forgetting to take it.\u00a0Eep. So\u00a0back to last night,\u00a0she essentially bought the &#8212;\u00a0er, essentials for women our age (30&#8217;s).<\/p>\n<p>They are:<br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Healthy Indulgence<\/strong>, Calcium 500 + Vit. D &amp; Antioxidants (Dark Chocolate!) <em>This\u00a0supplement tastes too good to be good for you. I know too much of a good thing is bad, so I&#8217;m very careful only taking the prescribed two delicious\u00a0chocolate pieces per day. Anyway, Vit-D &#8220;is the best nutrient found to help promote calcium absorption and enhances the bone building process&#8221; (as posted on the box!)<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Garden of\u00a0Life<\/strong>, Vitamin Code Raw B-Complex <em>This comes in capsule form and though I have a phobia with capsule-enclosed medicines (well, not really a phobia but I just didn&#8217;t like them much growing up!) this one was actually ok. Raw-B apparently is good for &#8220;mental and physical energy, heart and blood health, metabolism and immune system support and healthy response to stress.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Lindberg<\/strong>, Vitamin A (10,000 IU) <em>This is for eye, skin, and mucous membrane health<\/em>, Vitamin D (2,000 IU) <em>for your bones, teef and overall health<\/em>, and Chewable Calcium (plus Boron and\u00a0Add&#8217;l Nutrients) <em>for bone health<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s too early to tell how much these are really helping and I&#8217;ll be monitoring my health and overall well-being to see if there&#8217;s a noticeable difference (i.e., check my pee colour &#8212; lol TMI!) I should note that once I run out of the delicious chocolate calcium supplements, I&#8217;ll work on the chewable calcium next.<\/p>\n<p>I leave you now with a good article I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/RaDragon\">tweeted<\/a> this afternoon on Vitamins for Women:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitnessmagazine.com\/health\/body\/head-to-toe\/multivitamins\/\">http:\/\/www.fitnessmagazine.com\/health\/body\/head-to-toe\/multivitamins\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big sis surprised me last night when I returned from church (BTW, she ditched me from going to the same church and instead opted to go to an earlier [and speedier] mass!) with a slew of vitamins she bought from the store.
