What supplements do you take?

I take
Ashwagandha (really have no idea why my Dr just recommended it)
Myo & d-chiro inositol (I have pcos)
Iron (I’m both vegan and anemic lol)
Vitamin D (I had a deficiency)
That’s all the supplements I take but I do take regular prescription medication

Vitamin D and folic acid all year round.

I should start taking iron shortly before my periods tho, as apparantly that eases the cramps. But I also have pcos, so it's hard to know when I need the extra iron.

(High dose of iron allegedly eases the cramps, but it's not recommended to take it regularly unless you actually need it)

@TheRealBarbossa ever since I started the inositol it eased my ovulation pains but also I’ve heard that eating a steak on your first day of your period helps (I don’t know I haven’t tried)

@MommaBear I heard the steak thing too, because of the iron in it.

Since I don't eat meat, iron suppliments would be my go-to if I were regular

@TheRealBarbossa try the inositol that’s what I take for my pcos it helped with my painful ovulation so it’ll probably help your cramps and get you more regular

@MommaBear I'll have to ask my doc about it next time I see him. Especially since I don't know if we have that in Norway, or what we'd call it.
