if you take many supplements-storage and use

How do you take your supplements.............I found it so annoying to open up 9 or more bottles every morning-so I bought these really cool pill dispensers on ebay-what do you guys do?

I need one. I do not take a bazillion supplements, but enough that I cannot remember at the end of the day if I took what I need to.

It would be easier to just have a daily/weekly thingie so that each day I know I was a good doobie.

I take 8 supplements every day. In the morning i open each bottle and put into a container from Sig A (that the capsules come in) Never could find a dispenser for all of them.

Does your pill dispenser have a brand name?

I use those standard plastic day of the week gizmos, with am/pm markings.

I've had a wonderful plastic box with 16 dividers in it that has served me very well for years. I recently noticed a beautiful crafts box at Walmart (for beads or sewing utensils) that I would purchase if mine ever falls apart.

I can't even imagine opening 9 bottles every day .... nope, wouldn't do it.

I take a lot of vitamins. I just checked and I have sixteen 4 oz Glad brand containers which for me is eight days worth, morning and evening. I have one day where I fill them all up and have a certain shelf they sit on in my cupboard. I'd never be able to pull out all my vitamin bottles every day. I wonder what someone like Andrew Lessman does--and how does he travel with all that he takes?

I bought 2 of the 28 day pill boxes from Amazon, i think they were 2/$9. One is for morning and one for evening. I put a couple of supplements in the morning and evening boxes along with my prescribed med. I fill them every 28 days and am done.

Several years ago, Andrew Lessman included plastic containers with your purchase of his supplements. I have 3 of them. They hold about 2 weeks worth of supplements in 4 different compartments. I fill each compartment up and it makes it easy. Just pop open the container.

I take a bazillion supplements... I am addicted to them! How I do it is that I have them(bottles) all over my kitchen counter top... ( could care less what anyone else thinks!) and before each meal, I have certain ones I take... I put them into plastic bottle lids that I save. White ones, yellow ones, brown ones, black ones. I call them "layers" and each layer has a specific action. Usually I have three layers per meal and up to 50 capsules or tablets per meal. I layer the bottle caps as I choose to consume them with my meal.

Now before you get on my case about consuming hundreds of different supplements... I have been doing it for going on 30 years... no bad effects, only excellent blood work ups and yearly physicals. And at age 61, I am on no medications.

I am really into prevention... so for me taking supplements ALONG WITH A STELLAR HEALTHY DIET AND LIFESTYLE is just a way of life. I choose to prevent disease, not wait for disease to happen. My choice. MY WAY.

I have this three-drawer storage thing in one corner of my kitchen. In the morning all my vials are in the top drawer. After I take one sup, the vial goes into the bottom drawer. The middle drawer is for sups I take twice daily, then after that they go into the bottom drawer and by this time all sups are in bottom drawer. The next day my routine goes in the reverse. This method keeps me from missing a dose.

I use those weekly pill organizers (with the larger size areas for each day). I have one for my morning pills/supplements and one for the evening. I fill each one once a week with everything I need for the week.

I open up a gazillion bottles a day, some before lunch, some before dinner.
