Lets Talk Vitamens!!!!

[TotallyTouchin]

Ok......

Here it is.

I love good food.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE to party.

I like water but...you know....blah, right?

So I take ALOT of vitamens. This is what I take....what do you guys take?

Multivitamen (cause....duh???....pro-biotic is the best).

Flax...heart and brain health.....(I'm not sure if the brain part is working)

Omega 3-6-9 (healthy heart and skin)....ok

Milk Thistle (THANK GOD FOR THIS SHIT!!!! I party like a crazy girl and it detoxes your liver...WHEW!) Otherwise I'll be in the buy and sell section asking for a piece of someone elses!

Evening Primrose (ladies...TAKE IT. No PMS if you take 3 a day and wicked skin). Guys...just take vitamen E

Vitamen C....very important to absorb your other nutrients and its just all around good times. Who wants scurvy right?

Folic Acid...for those of you eating meat and potatoes all day..TAKE IT! Its the same ingredient found in leafy greens and for those of you pregant (tell that one SP out there), it is essential for brain function. Its just good. Take it.

Potassium...well I take it cause I drink. The rest of you could eat a banana but drinking depletes potassium so its a good idea for the young (or old), partiers out there....

Calcium/Magnesium mix. Women need this. Again, the partiers are usually defecient in the magnesium too. Just take it

NOW HERE'S MY FAV.
B100.

That bad boy gives you strength, gives you EVERYTHING. Take it and you reduce your stress and get energy. Forget Redbull. This is the shit.

Chitosan. Now here's where it gets tricky. Chitsan before you take it, do an internet search. It is for weight loss but also for energy. 3 pills a day......and the shit works. I work out but this stuff is GREAT! No side effects and you do have energy but not like the crazy weird spastic kind. Check it out. If you can't find it in regular pharmacies, pm me. Girls, you'll love it. 20 pounds GONE. Guys, you'll probably have the same effects.

Cranberry.....for the healthy urinary tract but you could also just have a glass and its the same. I'm just lazy

So thats it.

I'd be curious to know what ya'll take.

For weight loss, if people want to get crazy skinny and not all pumped up on ephedra, PM me and I'll give you another idea.

DRINK WATER AND EAT THOUGH.

I never get sick, I am the bounciest chick I know and I want to know your secrets too.....so lets hear em......give em up!!!!!!!

BE HEALTHY AND SAFE MY LOVELIES

OH and eat that apple a day too!

SMooch!!!!!

 

[TotallyTouchin]

What what if???????

You just enjoy the act of pill popping????

I love it. Nothing like a good PILL sliding down the old throat, now is there?

 

[CalgaryJenn]

Like most people I hate popping pills, whether it is for a headache or vitamins. So when it comes to vitamins I take a liquid called Maltivol12, it has all 12 essential vitamins that your body needs but it is in a liquid form and tastes like a malt molasses. 2tablespoons of that a day and I have everything I need and the energy. You can buy it at most Wal-Marts, and Shopper's.

 

[HappyHobbyist]

I take vitamin c , vitamin e , and zinc.
Zine especially for a man like myself that likes sex. So everytime a man releases he is depleted of zinc. I make sure I take that.

 

[janus]

The best place to buy vitamins and obtain information IMO is Kripps on Granville at Nelson. The two brothers who run it are very knowledgable. They also package their own vitamins at lesser price than other places. I take a multi-B 100mg/Mega C1000/Mega-DOLE-MItE which is a combo of calcium, magnesium and potasium. If you have any twitches or spasms take this and it will cure it within a few days.

 

[TotallyTouchin]

Totally!

Kripps is soooo fun!!!

Its like disneyland for pill poppers! I went there to ask about something that is really good for skin and I came out with like a BAG of crazy weird herbs and for the skin thats where they gave me evening primrose.....they also told me that you can take like SIX of those bad boys when you have PMS......

Then I got this pill (haven't taken it yet)....called "CALM AND CALMER" for stress.....

My ex took it.

But then again he threw a turkey at my head a few days later....

Maybe it doesn't work....I'm not sure

But Kripps is SO FUN! Two thumbs up from me!

 

[DDawGG]

KRIPP's in the late 80s sold way more than Vitamins.

I loved that store almost as much as my doctor!

 

[Guardian Angel]

I have heard similar - but!

recent reports say that researchers are actually unsure if vitamins actually can get absorbed by the body. Stop wasting all your money on that junk and just eat good, organic foods. Everything your body needs is there. If you still feel the need to spend money on the vitamins take a Centrum one a day. It gives you everything you need. Your body can get everything it needs from food so just eat right. Stop eating shitty foods cooked in animal fats, that are grown with pesticides and antibiotics etc. Get use to the real flavours of food and not all the sauces and crap that restuarants load up on your plate.

I have heard the same, Synthetic vitamins may not get totally absorbed so what happens to them if the body does not use them all. The questions is do they all get expelled or are they stored as "useless" in some organ and what are the consequences?

I have chosen to take Shaklee food supplements for the last 20 years or so.

I take a Multi Vitamin,
Vitamin C
Vitamin B
Vitamin E
Zinc and occassionally a protien supplement & Herb fibre.

The above supplements also include other compounds to support best results for absorption.The fact that this is actually food, means whatever the body does not use will be passed through the digestive system as it is supposed to.

Yes good food is the source of vitamins, but the agruement is that the food we eat today is not as good as our ancestors ate, so complimented with good food supplements, you should be able to maintain the daily recommended dosage.

It has been many years since I can remember getting a cold. It works for me.

God luck and good health to all.

I have a target in mind. ANTI-AGING

-High potency Multi-Vitamin, to pick up where my nutrition fails when meals are pushed back to crazy hours because of this occupation.
-Calcium w/ Vitamin D, because I'm a woman and my mom had low grade osteoporosis (I beat that with a bone density scan and diligent although late, calcium consumption)

Now the anti-aging cocktail from Dr, Nicholas Perricone
-Conjugated Linoleic Acid
-Coenzyme Q10
-Alpha Lipoic Acid
-Wild Salmon Oil


The damn vitamin prescription Dr. Perricone mentioned works amazingly. And I'll be 30 next year. It also helps that...



Black don't crack.

Vitamins are the modern equivalent of snake oil. In our society, there is little excuse or need for them if you have a relatively reasonable diet. Our society is so obese and over fed, supplements just ends up getting pissed away. Before you consider taking them, do a little research on food, what it is made of, its conversion into energy - which is the usual motive for taking them anyway, and the tremendous proportion that goes to waste.

Unfortunately, your comments are not based on science and are ludicrous. If you're going to make comments about vitamins and nutrition at least know what the fuck you're talking about. Your comment about vitamins being the modern equivalent of snake oil are absurd. Science supports their efficacy. Read about it my friend before making such ill informed comments.

The vitamin regimen that Totally Touchin is taking is a very good one.

 

[Maury Beniowski]

Ahhh, Vitamins, almost always a sure fire controversy...

Before you get too upset (probably due to vitamin overload), you should read a little here for starters.

Also, Google "the need for vitamins", and you may be in for an overdue "eye opener".

Never accept "science" as the definitive, conclusive and omnipotent truth.

Have fun!

Oh yes, btw the snake oil term is derived from The National Review of Medicine's labelling of Kevin Trudeau.

And, don't get me started on him... LOL

Is that the best you can do? A fucking newspaper article. I said check the science, if you can't do that simple thing then there's no point trying to convince someone who has no knowledge of what he's talking about.

 

[Maury Beniowski]

At this moment, it is the best I can do. So, what's the best you can do?

This tends to support the assertions by some health professionals that North Americans have the most expensive urine in the world.

 

[HappyHobbyist]

the best place for your vitamin info is not a retail vitamin outlet. There are Doctors, Pharmacyts and properly trained health professional that can advise you properly. Some guy who is trying to market his own meds and sell his stock to you is not the person to talk with. At least talk to someone who has a degree in a real medical field.

Dr. Gary Null

He is the best in my book

when ones urine reaches that (very) bright yellow colour... is that a sign of "pissing the vitamins away" or an indication that one's supplement level has reached the body's maximum absorption intake... or, are these one and the same?

 

[Guardian Angel]

Good question

when ones urine reaches that (very) bright yellow colour... is that a sign of "pissing the vitamins away" or an indication that one's supplement level has reached the body's maximum absorption intake... or, are these one and the same?

I have heard that the body has what it needs and the rest is being expelled as it should. I also heard that bright yellow is tied into Vitamin B. I have some experience to substantiate this as when I take Vit B the bright yellow is very evident, but when I run out it is not even close to the same color.

On another subject, I have heard, for the males, zinc is very good for the prostate. I for one am at the age this is a vitamin I do not miss.

G.A.

 

[Maury Beniowski]

Yes, the processing of high loads of vitamins does require an additional intake of fluids, hence the concentration of color in the urine. And, I am completely with you on the topic of herbs or herbal supplements. I am currently on a substance called Serrapeptase. It is an enzyme extracted from the gut of silkworms, and has been clinically demonstrated in Germany to rid the body of dead tissue in the body. Tissues like plaque accumulations on arterial walls, and other non-cardio passages like the prostate.

Then again, as stated above I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about...

If he only knew... I'm still laughing my ass off about that one...
