Randomguy Posted January 21, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 21, 2015 I am thinking a multivitamin, and if there are some others I should probably be taking, then you should demand I take the same ones you do. What should I get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted January 21, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 21, 2015 Citrus fruits, beans, leafy green vegetables, seasonal fruits and vegetables in bright colors, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, lean meat and fish, yogurt and some whole grains like quinoa, lentils, oats. Malted barley mixed with water hops and yeast is good too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted January 21, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 21, 2015 Nothing, everything. Depends on what you read. I take a multivitamin for senior men, 5k units of vit d, 81 mg baby asa, fish oil and ginkgo biloba each day. Does any of this help? I have no idea. Is it all a waste of money? Possibly. I also eat vit c like it's candy. I rarely get sick which is impressive since I haven't slept through the night in over 12 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted January 21, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 21, 2015 I take Centrum Silver for men. It's for old guys and you are definitely pushing old-guydom. Also, I take a separate Vitamin C pill (500 mg) and two Ds (2000 units total). Vitamin D is especially important this time of year when I'm seldom out in any sunlight.

Square Wheels Posted January 21, 2015 Share #7 Posted January 21, 2015 I have one of those daily pill dispensers. I fill it up once a week and remember to take my vitamins once a day. I don't take any other medications aside from vitamins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when I decided I needed extra protein and asked if there was a good one that mixed easily and tasted good and wasn't overly expensive and Smudge called me an asshole for not buying the one she was buying, then supplied a link to the one she was buying? I used the link and bought that protein and used it happily, and I didn't have to reinvent the wheel. That is what I am trying to do here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share #14 Posted January 21, 2015 Vegetables and fruits are your friends, Randomguy. You see, this just isn't helpful. I asked a very specific question, and you decide to call me an asshole and rape my dead ancestors with celery root and piano legs, and I still don't know what to buy without thinking too hard. I know you mean well, but I am looking for advice specific to supplementing my diet with supplements and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share #18 Posted January 21, 2015 http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/multivitamins-are-a-waste-of-money-doctors-say/ Doctors are assholes, and have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to medicine, only the vitamin companies have the scoop there, I am gonna listen to them. I am probably deficient in most vitamins that have been discovered. I generally eat a healthyish diet, Old#7, Destination, and the rest of you, occasionally supplemented by cool beer. However, I have massive reflux most nights regardless of how I eat, so I pound medication designed to stop this, and my guess is that it has significantly hampered my ability to properly process the food and turn it into nutrients and not sloppy wall-painting shart attacks. I don't actually have shart attacks, but it sure sounded evocotive to say that. I also don't sleep well at night, both in quantity and quality of sleep, and live in a stressful place with many constraints on health and well-being. So I am guessing vitamins may in fact be somewhat of a benefit in my situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted January 21, 2015 Share #19 Posted January 21, 2015 Physician recommended? My Doc says it okay as long as it doesn't upset my stomach. I have been using lots of aspirin most of my life, especially before ibuprofen came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share #22 Posted January 21, 2015 Make sure to get some suppositories too then. RB threw up a few nights back, she had a fever. We had baby butt suppositories that we used to get her fever down. I have never tried them myself, though, I just can't imagine sticking anything up my butt and not feeling really weird about it. I wonder if RB feels weird about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share #23 Posted January 21, 2015 I am thinking something more high-falutin' than Centrum, though. I am just guessing that they are competing in the low-cost realm for a reason, and am deeply suspicious of their efficacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here, buy these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-MENS-MEGA-EXTREME-Multi-Vitamin-Athlete-Sport-Nutrition-Mens-Mega-60-caps-/251397587984 Or just head to GNC or Whole Foods and really get the good stuff.

Dirtyhip Posted January 21, 2015 Share #25 Posted January 21, 2015 I just take whatever multivitamin I happened to find on sale. I get so much from my normal eating patterns that the multi is just a little insurance to get everything. I probably don't need it. Also, I choose to take a little extra vitamin D and fish oil. I do this to hopefully prevent future MS attacks. Again, just a little insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
