I take flaxseed capsules, a multi-vitamin, calcium, iron, and vitamin E. I keep them all in the door of my fridge.

A girlfriend of mine recommended vitamin E capsules to help avoid and ease muscle pain due to exercise. I've been exercising regularly and I'm not sore like I used to get, so it might be working.

The other ones... I don't know. If I don't take them for a week I don't really seem to notice a difference in anything other than my complexion. I'm acne prone and these supplements do seem to help with that.

So who knows. I agree with Tom Sawyer that if you eat a lot of "whole" fresh foods that there's probably no need to take supplements. Nature provides most of us with everything we need to be and feel healthy.
