Just wondering who takes what and why.

My daily regimen:

With coffee first thing in the morning (cuz you're supposed to take it on an empty stomach), I take a Nature Made Sam-E. A co-worker turned me on to it. It has ingredients to help "Joint Comfort, Mood Support, Liver Health".

Then when I have my morning Slim-Fast breakfast (cuz you're supposed to take vitamins with food to help with more complete absorption), I take:

Two Triple-Flex tablets consisting of 1500 mg of Glucosamine, 800 mg of Chrondroitin, and 750 mg of MSM
One Centrum A-Zinc
500 or 1000 mg (alternating days) Calcium with 200 I.U. Vitamin D
One B-12 500 mcg
One Selenium 200 mcg
One Vitamin C 500 mg

Why do I take the above?? The Sam-E to hopefully help with the pre/pari-menopause that I'm in or about to go through. The Triple-Flex for a family history of joint (knee) trouble. The Centrum cuz my diet sucks at times. Ok.... sucks most of the time (I don't cook... much). The calcium cuz I'm a woman and don't plan to audition for the Hunchback of Notre Dame when I'm 65. The B-12 and Selenium cuz... well, they seem like good things and I'm too lazy to go read the labels right now. The Vitamin C - why not. Won't hurt.

EDIT: I also take a daily Allegra-D for my allergies. If I forget for a couple of days (like on the weekends), I end up with itchy eyes, runny (more than normal) nose. But egaaaad that crap is expensive - even with insurance.
