" We all try to do our best to make sure we&amp;#x27;re getting the vitamins and nutrients our bodies need to be healthy, vibrant and energetic. But does it sometimes feel confusing about what pills to pop? Wouldn&amp;#x27;t it be nice to know what some of America&amp;#x27;s most respected health experts take on a daily basis? Read on to see the list ...**** We talked about herbal supplements yesterday on Vitamin G. My daily pill popping amounts to this: a prenatal vitamin, an Omega 3-6-9 supplement and occasionally a calcium pill with vitamin D. Should I be taking more supplements, less? Should you? I loved this informative CNN.com piece about the specific supplements that health experts take. For instance, Dr. Christiane Northrup, a women&amp;#x27;s health expert who I admire pops the following pills: 1. Antioxidant supplement 2. Fish oil 3. Calcium 4. Magnesium 5. Coenzyme Q10 6. Vitamin D All were familiar to me except Coenzyme Q10, which I&amp;#x27;ve heard about, but needed a little refresher course on. Here&amp;#x27;s the scoop: Co-Q-10 is &amp;quot;a supplement that boosts coenzyme Q10, which is produced by the human body and is necessary for the basic functioning of cells. Animal studies have found that coenzyme Q10 helps the immune system work better and makes the body better able to resist certain infections and types of cancer.&amp;quot; So, don&amp;#x27;t rush out and take this exact list of supplements--talk to your doctor first--but isn&amp;#x27;t it interesting to know what pills a respected female doc pops everyday? What vitamins and minerals, and other supplements, do you take each day? Photo: iStock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
