Vitamins

We take vitamins...lots of them! I believe that most food is very depleted of nutrients and it is very difficult to eat the right balance of food to get everything we need. So I try to make up for it with our vits. It is somewhat costly, but the health of my children is more than worth it.

Mama takes...
Mother and Child Postnatal Multis from Pure Essence Labs. I love, love, love these. They give me so much energy. I have tried switching to a less expensive multi twice and felt like crud. These are probably the best vitamins I have ever taken. Thanks Ann, for suggesting them to me and sending me bottles of them when I was preggers with Thea!!!

Bone Ami from Beeyoutiful. These are calcium magnesium supplements. Love these, too. They kept my braxton hicks contractions at bay while I was pregnant and kept me from getting leg cramps (that and the chiropractor!).

Vitamin C 500mg

Acidolpholus blast from beeyoutiful. If my stomach ever hurts I take 2 of these and feel better very quickly. Dan takes them if he's going to eat dairy and he dosen't get a hurt stomach.

Coromega - this is fish oil. I don't have fish burps and it helped my preggy brain a lot. This was the first pregnancy where I didn't feel completely stupid all the time and forget everything. The kids all take these, too. Great for helping with seasonal depression also.

The children take...
A muli (i have tried a few, but am still looking for the perfect one)

vitamin C

OptiKids probiotic/enzyme suppliment. This is great! Landon has stopped have IBS symtoms while on this. If i forget to give this to him for a couple of days i'd better be ready to clean up a bunch of runny poo (sorry...tmi).

Coromega

We also take...

Natural Factor's Echinamide (echinacea). We only take this during flu season. It helps so much. We also take it if we're getting sick.
