RowdyRebel Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 So I started taking one at the start of that stupid virus...wanted to make sure I was getting the Vitamin C, D, Zinc, etc the censored doctors were all saying was beneficial. Finding the one I've been taking is getting to be damn near impossible, and I'm noticing a trend with the other brands as well. Tablets (pills) are being replaced by gummies. I'm a grown ass adult. I don't need to be eating my vitamins in gummy form. Not only that, but the gummy version has a lower % of the RDA of pretty much everything you're taking...but costs more...for fewer doses. probably spent more in fuel trying to find the stupid things in tablet form than they cost. 6th store I went to had 1 box left. Guess I'm good for another month or two. Wonder if they'll be back in stock by then or if I'll be S-O-L...joked with the wife that I might have to start taking the "50+" version, which is still on the store shelves in pill form. Has all of the same stuff as the one I've been taking, with slightly higher doses of 2 or 3 things. She got mad & said "You're not 50 yet. You don't need those!" She thinks I should just pick a different brand, but most of the other brands have a much lower % of the stuff I wanted to be taking for a similar or higher price. Why pay more to get less? Makes no sense to me. Maybe I'll just have to go back to not taking one at all. Worked just fine for over 4 decades...but then again, I'm not getting any younger. Guess I'll figure that out later. Need to get outside & build a railing for the new steps I just put on the deck last weekend. Wife didn't want the old one tacked back up. It was only on there because of ol' Dozer when he lost his vision I didn't want him falling off the porch, so I tacked up the old subfloor from the gooseneck (plywood, had the right dimensions & angles, looked like crap)...which has worked for several years. If it weren't for the kids or the mother-in-law, I'd just leave 'em off. Oh well...gives me something to do outside while it's 1,000,000 degrees with 99.5% humidity. Won't have tomorrow to get anything done...after church gotta hang out in town (probably wander around Rural King trying not to find anything I need) because the kids start VBS tomorrow night. Boy has really liked going the last 2 years...hope that excitement translates to actual school (he starts kindergarten next month). It'll be the girl's 1st year...finally old enough. Anyway...got stuff to do.🤦♂️ Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to work okay so far Paul See, that's the problem. If my wife isn't home to make dinner, and the mother-in-law has fed the kids by the time I get home from work, I'll just throw a frozen pizza in the oven. Breakfast is a few breakfast burritos nuked in the microwave on my way out the door. I don't eat well, so I decided to go ahead & make sure I was getting the vitamins & minerals my immune system (which has always been pretty strong) what it needed to combat this new bug. A multi-vitamin seemed like a reasonable solution. Now it's just starting to seem like more of a hassle.🤷♂️ 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

It is harder to do because it is in all of our food but eliminate seed oils if you can (soy, canola, vegetable, sunflower, peanut oils) they stay in the body as free radicals and create massive inflammation. My dad made this switch about a year ago and his arthritis vanished. He also no longer has blood pressure issues, its pretty amazing to see. Isn't it funny how all of these "healthy alternatives" to sugar, lard, etc..,that were pushed out and adopted into our diets proved to be worse than what we had been eating?🙃 1 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Joey Mack Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I have always said, that our bodies know how to digest and process, meats, dairy, and fats, as well as real sugar as opposed to fake sweeteners, I feel the same about real Salt too.. Moderation is the key. I remember when Olestra and Olene came out, and you couldnt melt it in a pan to fry a piece of meat with. My question was,,, How the hell is a 98.6 degree human body going to digest and, melt away a cooking oil that wont melt in a pan on the stove.. Anyway, I like this thread, Jojo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vladislav Posted August 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2023 I've taken vitamins for already about a decade to the moment (I'm 48 now). Just feel run down and sleepy in the morning and during a day otherwise. Used B-complex, than D3 in elephant dozes (had blood check which showed 20 digit level instead of 70-100 norm), than zink combined with a complex of other needed minerals. But I make interruptions for a month or two or switch from one complex to another. For example I took D3 all the winter and stopped doing that in May. I hope I will get more sun exposion (I try my best but get more brown due to dust and grease while working topless). Than after quiting D3 I felt slow in a couple of weeks. So got to a can of B-complex I ordered from overseas when it was still possible. Got feeling more active (just normal) in a couple of days. I think I will continue it for a month more or so and than switch to zink+ I have on a shelf and had good results with in the past. Ok, I'm not a doctor and wouldn't give advices on what to do and do not. But if you take some vitamins/minerals there's quite easy way to determine the need - just stop taking them for a month. If you feel worse in a week than you should get back. If Ok I would live without them for some while. Actually the most complexes I read directions of prescribed to get a coursus of a month or two. Than interrupt and continue later if needed. Oh, that sounds as a good advice on liver food. Unfortunately it's almost off my taste. 2 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
