Hilary Swank's 45-Vitamins-a-Day Habit

Hearing that a celebrity is a pill-popper isn't such a shocker these days. But in super-buff Hilary Swank's case, the pills in question aren't pain meds or narcotics - they're vitamins.

45 vitamin supplements a day, to be exact.

Swank came clean about her hard-core vitamin routine in this month's issue of W. The actress says she relies on her supplements to keep her fit, both physically and mentally.

"This is my Aloe C, which I dissolve in water," the "P.S. I Love You" star told her interviewer. "Here's my flax. This one's for my immune system, and this one is my BrainWave - it's great, like if I have a lot of lines to memorize. I just took my most important ones, which are my Oz Garcia Longevity Pak. I shoved them in my mouth right before I met you, which I actually shouldn't do, because I choked on my vitamins once before."

Swank also says she maintains a daily workout regimen to stay lean.

"Exercise is also really important to me," she says. "I think it gives me more energy. I would rather sleep six hours and get an hour workout than sleep seven hours."

There's no doubt that her vitamin-and-exercise routine works, as anyone who saw "Million Dollar Baby" can attest. But is taking 45 supplements a day healthy, or just plain overkill?
