I'm addicted to Vitamins

[skra75]

I take a shitload of vitamins every day and if I forget (which some days I do) my whole cosmos goes into inverted crazy no-V8-land. I swear by the shits but my lawd. :(

I suggest that you sneak in a retirement home and steal an old woman's plastic pillcase.

[skra75]

I take a huge handfull every day. I think it's hereditary because my dad does it. Gross really. But my noggin is in tip top shape.

you punk!

Haha, I take some no-good vitamin pills every day. When I have a real bad hangover they melt in my mouth in 40 seconds otherwise I can keep them on my tongue for 5 minutes...
Keep on thinking they will be good for you. In the long run... ;)

[cookiepuss]

are these vitamins "buffered"...if I remember correctly you want them to be buffered for maximum absorbtion in the body. otherwise this is a silly habit cause you're pissing most of them out when you drain your lizard.

that's only certain vitamins. each one absorbs differently in the body, although there is a general classification as either water- (A, D, E & K) or fat-soluble (C, all of the Bs).

if you eat healthy and a good variety you don't really need supplements, except women are recommended to take calcium and a b-complex with folic acid if they're of childbearing age etc. i take those and extra iron because of my diet. i used to take a ton more but it's really not necessary so i stopped. there's a definite danger of taking too much.

what exactly do you take holmes?

people tell me to eat fish because of the omega 3 crap (yes im an expert) because of my (clinical) depressions but i would prefer taking anti depressants

this probably doesnt fit to the thread but cosmo made me post it so blame her!

[cosmo105]

i take a complete omega blend but that's more of a food than a supplement in my eyes. it helps with the cramps and such, and definitely mood.

i need to take a daily with iron... i know i dont get vitamins with my diet, and think im iron deficient aneimic. i havnt been diagnosed, well, because i dont go to the doctor, but when im regularly taking vitamines i notice that my average body temp goes up (which is actually somewhat uncomfortable for me) and i get more pink. mostly i dont take vitamins because i cant remember, but i have actually stopped taking them because of my body temp going up before. i've got a low body temp and low blood pressure and if anything interferes with that it fucks me up. i'm thankful for the low blood pressure though. i dont mind the occasional light headedness or fainty feeling... dangerously high blood pressure runs in my family, so i see it as a good thing. my dads bp is so high that he almost lost his commercial drivers licence because of it.

except while i had mono, i had a fever pretty much for a month, and eventually got used to it. 101-102 became the norm, and that was with medication. but if i went outside i immediatly felt very sick and faint i think becasue it was so friggin hot outside and my insides were too hot already.

question for those more in the know than me... i think it's cosmo that always says how bad most vitamines and supplements are... in your opinion is something like one a day women's alright or is that not like, high quality enough vitamins? i'll be honest, im not willing to eat a healthy diet, so i'm probably one of those people that needs vitamins.

why are you jealous of my pinkness?

maybe you need some iron too.

For some reason I think multi's give me kidney stones. When I forgot to take them I hadn't had one in a while. When I got really sick a few months ago I had gone back to poppin' and then all of a sudden I get my 2nd stone. It wasn't as dramatic as the first

*internetz shrugs*

[cosmo105]

how high quality is the one you were taking? most of them have synthetic ingredients and a ton of fillers, but i doubt that was giving you a kidney stone.

p.s. if you have recurrent problems with that, i'd suggest looking into an herb called Chanca Piedra. (its name literally means "break stone.")
