Simplifying Your Supplement and Vitamin Needs- Quick Giveaway!
Does your vitamin aisle have you seeing sideways?
Is this better?
With a full time job, my own business, children from 17 to six years of age and a tennis addiction (I’m not even mentioning the blogging part here), I often feel exhausted, yet have found B12 can make all the difference, keeping me plugging through some very long days. Beyond that, I’m totally lost as to what vitamins and supplements my body can use more of. I admit I don’t have the healthiest diet and get little exercise beyond tennis. I know I’m not the only one wondering whether more Vitamin D could help, or if Vitamin C might give me a boost during cold season.
Well, I just discovered Centrum’s Nutrition Possible site that offers a complete assessment of my nutritional needs and helps me figure out what supplements might provide the extra kick I need for health and energy. It’s better than playing eenie-meenie-miney-moe on the overwhelming supplement aisle in the store (admit it, you’re confused, too). It only took me a minute and I liked the cool little icons (yep, the stress guy was designed especially for us moms, I’m sure!).
If you wonder what might help you, take the nutrition assessment, too. I promise it’s really quick. You can even download a coupon for Centrum products at the end.
Also, Centrum is giving one reader a $25 AMEX gift card if they come back here after the assessment and let us know what they were lacking. We must draw a winner by Monday night, so take the assessment right away and respond by 10pmEST on Monday, 2/13/12. Good luck! Here’s a link to the actual rules for the giveaway.

Totally lacking calcium. My body is not a fan of lactose so I avoid milk and cheese.

Calcium here too! I love milk, but have to watch when I drink it. I try to walk everyday! I used to take B-12 as a requirement for an INH plan I had to take, and I always felt great when I took it. That’s a thought too!

I am lacking fiber and Omega 3.
February 13, 2012 @ 12:38 am
I need more Omega 3 in my diet!
February 13, 2012 @ 12:39 am
I need calcium and phytonutrients.
February 13, 2012 @ 12:40 am
I need to eat more fruits and veggies. This is no surprise to me, I already knew that! LOL
February 13, 2012 @ 12:53 am
I took the assessment and it said I need more fruits and vegetables.
February 13, 2012 @ 12:55 am
I’m lacking in calcium, too! I also don’t do well with milk (actually, I can’t stand it).
February 13, 2012 @ 12:59 am
Beans, seafood, and dairy. This makes sense – I don’t like most seafood, bean, or dairy options! Looks like an omega3 supplement may be a good idea to add to my women’s multi-V.
Thx! Good info.

Says I need to eat more seafood (yuck) and veggies. The good thing is my prenatal vitamin is the only supplement they suggested. Pretty cool app.

Haha I am completely lacking in everything, so my answer was “We don’t have any … suggestions yet.” Wow. I am pretty unhealthy! Less than one glass of water per day, not many fruits/veggies, very low exercise… I’m their target audience! I am going to my medicine cabinet now to break out that bottle of vitamins I’ve been forgetting to take, and hopefully I will break out a sweat tomorrow doing SOMEthing!

My Room for Improvement is Beans. I also need to do more physical activities.
Yes, I really need to, thanks for the reminder 🙂
February 13, 2012 @ 3:51 am
Need more beans, more water, vitamin D, and of course more fiber… All I knew but was a good reminder. Gosh, I need a lot!
February 13, 2012 @ 4:31 am
It had no suggestions for me 🙁 I’m really not that healthy. Sheesh, I guess I balance my lack of cheese with my milk, yogurt and orange juice intake and I guess starting to work out in preparation for a triathlon put me a little on the healthy side, but what about the stress management?
February 13, 2012 @ 12:31 pm
Wow. Maybe you’re in better shape than you think? Is any of the stuff stressing you out stuff you can get help with?
February 13, 2012 @ 1:03 pm
I’m with Autumn.. no supplement suggestions yet.. Sad, I know. good intentions and all that.
February 13, 2012 @ 3:19 pm
Did you create an account first? I went through the assessment without creating an account and it didn’t give me any suggestions either. I had to create an account and redo the assessment for suggestions to show up.
February 13, 2012 @ 3:18 pm
I need more Omega-3 and Phytonutrients, as well as a multi-vitamin.
February 13, 2012 @ 4:28 pm
vitamin d and calcium thanks
February 13, 2012 @ 4:51 pm
I need calcium and fiber.
Thanks.
February 13, 2012 @ 9:28 pm
I need to eat more fruits and veggies. No surprise there.
February 13, 2012 @ 9:53 pm
Took the assessment and it said I could use more whole grains.
