Multi-vitamins, plus a calcium. Women don't get enough calcium generally.

You should really get a good vitamin, If you are taking a vitamin you need to get one that works. The reason your body is so tired all the time is because your body isnt getting what it need to be NOT tired. The Human Body is not supposed to be tired. Because of the foods we eat these day, we are not getting the nutrient because the food lacks the vital minerals and nutrients need for normal healthy life. You may need to change your diet as well.If your eating too much your body expends a lot of energy to digest it, then you get tired. If you eat too little your body doesn't have the energy to do everyday functions properly.\nCheck out this website below it talks about this in greater detail and has a great vitamin called Vibe.\nP.S. you shouldn't take a vitamin in pill form, it has glues and other binders to keep in the shape it in and you get very little nutrients from it because ot that.\nEmail me if you have other questions.\n\nhttp://www.enivamembers.com/?id=brandon

Any good multivitamin would be fine. The fact that you don't have a gall bladder doesn't affect that choice.

In order to have the healthiest babies possible, the next few months will be critical from a nutrition point of view. Compared to a woman carrying only one baby, you will need to eat an additional 500 to 1000 calories per day, and get an additional 25 grams of protein, beginning at about 20 weeks gestation. In all, you need about 90 to 120 grams, not the 140 to 150 that you have stated above. So it seems as if you are now getting almost all the protein that you need. You will also need more vitamins and minerals, particularly iron, so you should be taking a daily prenatal vitamin.\n\nOne of the best ways for you to get your additional protein is to drink more milk. Milk is not only a good source of high quality protein, it also has the calcium your babies will need. One glass of milk will give you eight grams of protein. According to the book, "Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy," by Elizabeth Somers, a women carrying twins should get the equivalent of six glasses of milk per day.\n\nAlthough liquid food supplements sound like an easy out, they may not be the best choice. If you drink them in place of healthy eating, you will miss out on other naturally occurring nutrients, such as fiber and phytochemicals. The supplements may also contain large amounts of sugar, which you don't need. And, the vitamin and mineral mix may not be optimal for pregnancy. Your best route is to stick with a well-balanced diet, supplemented with a prenatal vitamin.\n\nTo get the additional protein you need, some of the best, and most concentrated sources are:\n\n    Meat, poultry, or fish: 21 grams of protein/3 ounces cooked\n    Eggs: 7 grams protein/1 large egg\n    Milk: 8 grams protein/8 ounces\n    Yogurt: 9 grams protein/1 cup plain\n    Tofu: 8 grams protein/4 ounces\n    Peanut butter: 4 grams protein/1 tablespoon\n\nFollowing is an example of how you may get your necessary 100 plus grams of protein per day. It does not include the other foods you also need, such as grains, fruits, and veggies:\n\n    Breakfast: 1 cup milk, 4 ounces cottage cheese/22 grams protein\n\n    Snack: 1 cup yogurt/9 grams protein\n\n    Lunch: Chicken sandwich made with 3 ounces deli chicken breast and 1 cup Milk/ 26 grams protein\n\n    Snack: Peanut butter crackers (2 tablespoons peanut butter) and 1 glass Milk/16 grams protein\n\n    Dinner: 3 ounces poached salmon, one glass milk/28 grams\n\n    Snack: Tofu smoothie using 4 ounces silken tofu, and sprinkled with Brewer's yeast/11 grams protein\n\nTotal calculated protein for the day equals 112 grams. Other foods that you eat during the day will add significant amounts of protein to that number. For example, the grains in the breads, cereals, and crackers you eat contain protein as do many of the vegetables. If you find you cannot tolerate large meals, eat several small meals throughout the day, perhaps eating every three hours or so.\n\nSome of the best foods to eat to boost your protein intake include: Cheese, Brewer's yeast, milk, seafood, pumpkin seeds, nuts, peanut butter, beef and poultry, and soybean products. When planning your snacks and meals, reach for foods that will help boost your protein intake. For example, instead of a bowl of pretzels, take a handful of nuts. Put peanut butter on your toast instead of butter. Add dry milk powder to your baked goods and casseroles. Buy yogurt and milk with added milk solids, substitute 1/4 soy flour for regular flour in baking, sprinkle cereals and casseroles with wheat germ or Brewer's yeast. Add Brewer's yeast to fruit smoothie drinks, add nuts to your cereal, toss pumpkin seeds into the salad, sprinkle shredded cheese into the pasta and add slices of low fat cheese to your sandwiches. As you can see, even if you don't like meat or eggs, you can still have a wide choice of protein containing foods. Perhaps you can find ways to hide eggs in foods you do like. For example, crepes contain eggs, yet are more like a pancake. Add eggs

Well my problem at first was discovering that I was limiting myself and that I needed more protein, easily enough remedied by your local holistic store, which can provide you with the 'correct' protein powder in which to make a drink out of or smoothie...making it doubly wonderful....Next was iron..and I had to break down and purchase the 'right' vitamin complex for my body type and situation, then the B vitamins often hailing from foods simply aren't enough and adding Selenium enacts the B vitamins and E as well to activate more fully. There, I hope that this helps. Oh! And please be sure that you have the correct supplements for the Omegas that will be necessary for you, but it it's up to you and your health Food manager or Dietitian. Please as well consult your doctor about this....they balk at times...just look for one into Alternative Medicine. I do so hope that this helps you! ~ Bon Apetit!!!!!!!

Calcium and Vitamin D are essential for strong bone growth, and milk is an excellent source of both.  But if you don't drink milk and are still obtaining vitamins and minerals from other sources with good nutrition, you will still be healthy and able to grow to your full potential.

GNC's Women's UltraMEga is a good one.  Has all the vitamins in regular multis plus ones that are good for women like folic acid. Maybe you could also take an iron supplement too, but I would ask your doctor before you do that, especially if you start taking a multivitamin with iron already in it.

Vitamin A is Fat-Soluble, that's why you need FAT. By The Way, Vitamins are Not digested!

The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) states that everyone should be taking a multivitamin for prevention of diseases. Mainly because most of the foods we eat nowadays do not contain the nutrition they once did.

All vitamins should be taken with a meal.  Don't overdo E.  The super B will contain B-12 so you may want to space those out.  Be careful with doseages!

I prefer Centrum (more stuff), but any vitamin you love and will take daily is the best one!\n\nI recommend Centrum for our Kimkins members while they're in fast weight loss mode.

Regardless of what supplement you choose, make sure the supplement is "Chelated". This means that it is tagged with an amino acid so that your body can actually recognize it, and absorb and use it. Most once a day type vitamin supplements that you can purchase off the shelf at any retail store are not chelated. If you are using a supplement that is not chelated, then you are putting it in one end, and flushing it when it comes out the other! That equates to nothing more than a waste of time and money. I personally have a complete wellness system that I use, and all of my family members use. It has truly impacted my overall health and well-being. Write me for more information!\n\nTina Hodges\nVisalusLHP@yahoo.com

Most definitely.  Your body is telling you something.  You NEED to listen.  You are obviously lacking some sort of vitamin that you body needs.   Do you take a daily multi-vitamin?  If not, I would start.    If you only eat one salad a week, I would actually suggest medical help, you are on your way to anorexia and eventually death.  Do yourself a favor, grab a Snickers bar.

Just make sure that you aren't taking the multivitamins with any medications unless you know for sure that the 2 won't react negatively with each other.\n\nHere's a website devoted to answering questions like this and more about multivitamins.

There's a GREAT source of information about vitamins at\n\nhttp://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW000/35320/35323/442717.html?d=dmtHMSContent\n\nIt describes different kinds of vitamins, when they are necessary--and this site goes beyond the usual "pregnant women should take a prenatal vitamin" advice that other sites give.\n\nThere is even more information at\nhttp://www.virtualhealthinfo.com/news_vitamins.shtml\n\nI remember hearing a few weeks ago on NPR that for the first time, a daily multivitamin was recommended for people, even those who eat a pretty normal diet because the nutritional value of the foods we eat is no longer as good as it used to be.  I suppose this is why we can get tomatoes that may not taste like much, but which travel to market without damage.  \nI looked for an article on this, but I couldn't find it.  (Sorry.)

... If you can afford to,... you would be best served to see a professional who can do a good assessment of your system to determine what your particular body needs. ..... There are systems such as "Hair Analysis" or Blood Analysis,.... which will allow a professional to analyse what your body has too little of and too much of. From that information they can determine what supplements you need. .... A good form of practitioner for this would be a Naturopathic Physician. You can find them listed in the Yellow Pages,.. if you live in the states. ... Otherwise a good licensed nutritionist could probably provide the service as well.\n\n..... If you just go out and start taking vitamins based upon what someone casually suggests to you,.. it is likely that you will be flushing your money down the toilet by taking vitamins etc.. that your body cannot use. .............. Also,. you should know that there are certainly many dietary changes that are important to make towards addressing diabetes. ... A good source of information pertaining to how to alleviate Diabetes is the following web page;  http://www.mercola.com/article/diabetes/index.htm
