What vitamins do you take?
« on: April 19, 2005, 04:02:11 pm »
I'm starting to take vitamins every morning, Multi-Vitamin and B-Complex.  And I'm wondering what other vitamins people are using and should I be taking anymore?

1 kids chewable every morning.  It sounds silly, but it's better foryou than any other multi-vitamin since more vitamins are digested into your bloodstream than the non-chewable ones.

That would make your pee glow in the dark for sure. Would look cool when urinating over cliffs at night.

I don't.  I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.  I'm a fraction of an inch from being a vegetarian these days.

I'm not a vegetarian and I don't eat as many fruits and vegetables as I should, but I don't really take multi vitamins any more.

The general scientific consesus is that you don't need them and/or you're not getting much out of them anyway.  The vast majority of any multi-vitamin you take is going to go down the toilet.   If you have a medically diagnosed deficiency, then I'd take a supplement.  But if you're eating 1500-2000+ calories a day and have some variety in your food, then the vitamins probably aren't doing much/anything for you.

I do own a bottle of multi-vitamins and I do take them occasionally when I haven't been eating well, haven't been sleeping enough and have been binge-drinking for days at a time, but overall I'm not convinced there's a point to taking them daily.

Just my 2-cents.

Hmm. I take vitamines, not sure what they are. Pretty sure there's a B in there somewhere. My wife sets them out on the kitchen counter for me every morning. She thinks I need 'em so I take 'em.

I take a multi-vitamin a lot.  I take the kind for seniors because I wasn't paying attention when I bought the bottle and it was like a 250 or 500 pill bottle.  Whoops.

I've also recently started taking ginko biloba to see if it would make me smarter.

Was that before or after you purchased the bulk bottle of senior drugs?

You just think those are vitamins...  they're really poison, she's slowly killing you, as to not draw suspicion to herself.  She's after the life insurance...   :police:

In which case, I guess I'll suggest that she start taking ginko biloba, since I don't have any life insurance. :)

I take fruity peebles and milk vitamins every mourning. And at the age of 28 the red flinstone vitamin still tastes the best.

Viagra.  I like the way it makes my pants fit shortly after ingesting them ;D

Summertime, I take 2 potassium pills 3 times a week, unless banannas are on sale, in which case I take 1 bananna daily. 

Beink outside, I schveat in de hot schveltering sun, und I gott de kramps mitt der legs, und I refuse to vear der leiderhosen.

There was something else other than 'naners to up your potassium levels, but I can't remember what it was.

Nearly all fruit.  Bananas are nothing special.  They just got associated with it one day and it stuck.  Kind of like the day that lemmings got associated with mass suicide.  Well, except that bananas actually are an excellent source, while lemmings do not fling themselves into the ocean en masse.  But they are no more excellent a source than many many other fruits.


...i think.


BTW, what ever happened to Fredster.  I miss him.  He's supposed to pop in right about now and thank me for my vast and profound wisdom and ask when I added dietician to my resume.

So you've been taking health and nutrition courses now, college boy? 

Thankfully we don't have to rely on hearsay and conjecture, since we have a bona fide expert in our midst!

Step right up people, come see shmokes the amazing expert on everything you THOUGHT you knew to be true!

Ask him, he'll be GLAD to correct you, even if you don't want him to!


How'd I do?

Avocados.  That's the big 'un. 

'naners are high in K, and you are correct, lots of fruits, more specifically, tropical fruits. 

The pills actually don't work as well as banannas, but they suffice.


It's not a pill or vitamin, but this seems like as good a place as any to interject this:

Wait a minute, are you saying that lemmings are high in potasium? That's it, I'm off bananas, from now on I'm just having a lemming for breakfast.
