I started paying more attention to my health when I became a nurse. I somewhat got obsessed with it as I see a lot of unhealthy people on a weekly basis. It scares me a bit. One thing I try to do is ensure my body gets what it needs. I don’t eat the best but I am improving my diet as I go. I like to use vitamins to make sure nothing is missing though. I focus on Vitamin C and Vitamin D3 right now.

Do you take any vitamins? If you do, what are you taking? What are some good brands you’d recommend?

I want to take vitamins but it's hard for me to take them because I tend to be really sensitive to medicine. I tried a multivitamin but it always made me feel sick. I've settled in on taking Vitamin C, coated fish oil, and B12.
Have you tried gummy vitamins?

Vitamin D is an exception. You get that from sunlight and I’m always inside.
I read an article that said that our melanin needs 2 hours of direct sunlight daily. I don't get anywhere near that much daily sun.

Every time I goto the doc and they pull blood he puts me on Vitamin D pills. He does this every time. So my levels must be some garbage. I just told them to keep renewing it. Each refill is like $2 and some change.
