Does anyone here take any multi-vitamins or supplements? I've always been told to be wary of them because they can screw with your metabolism and aren't really all that worth it nutritionally. I've been looking into them though because I know I don't get enough calcium. I'm still growing out of a lactose intolerance, so I'm looking for a supplement of some kind.
If you have any thoughts or ideas or advice, please let me know!

Re: What's your take on multi-vitamins?
I've been told that they're not as good as getting the vitamins from foods, BUT if you aren't getting them from food, you need to get them somehow. You definitely don't need those multi-vitamins that give you 300% of vitamin C etc. You'll just urinate the extra out, since it's H2O soluble. On the other hand, you don't want to get too much of the fat-soluble vitamins b/c you can't urinate those out of your body.

A basic multivitamin won't screw up your metabolism. The kinds of things that could do that are probably marketed as weight loss supplements.
As always, talk to your doctor before starting anything new. They can help you determine if you're deficient in certain vitamins and help you figure out the best course of action.
