ot. pills I believe in and take religiously…

[scaredyclassic]

Fish oil.
Fiber
Vitamin d
oregano oil.
cercumin

[moneymaker]

Melatonin to sleep (vivid dreams a plus)
Exedrin for migraines
Use to take DHEA, not so much anymore
Vitamins seem to be useless for me
Flexeril when the back spasm acts up
Tamsulosin when I feel a kidney stone coming
The last two I don’t take very often but when I need them they are a life saver.

I eat a fish oil capsule or two a few times a week , a multi-vite and magnesium zinc supplement but not everyday. I don’t believe in any of them.

I run and do other exercise quite a bit and was having calf cramps a lot maybe the magnesium helps, My calf muscles have been great. I doubt it did the trick because I also started running more intelligently, more but more intelligently.

I have a pretty healthy diet. Going to drink Iced green tea this summer with the best honey I can get.

Do you still lift weights , scaredy?

[FlyerInHi]

At least they’re not synthetic drugs. what you’re taking, you can also consume in your diet.
Have fish at least one a week. Or make it like Catholics and have fish on Fridays.

Have you tried eating bananas for cramps, Russ? They’ve worked amazingly well for me. I believe it’s the potassium.

no. the krav maga is kind of wearing me out. im not sur eif its dumb or not. i am definitely getting good practice kicking to the crotch. i think moving forward, its probably more important for me to be able to hit people really hard and fast in the face or neck and kick really hard than lift a bit more weight.

priorities..

[The-Shoveler]

1 multivitamin
1 fish Oil
2 D3 (once in the morning and once in the afternoon) (just started doing this, noticing a big difference in how I feel).

I take the D3 because I work in an office all day so never get out in the sun during the week. Should have started this 20 years ago (makes a big difference).

Wife has me eating one apple (or other fruit) a day and at least one serving of Kale a week (in soup).

Figure I should make it to 70 to max out SS if I am lucky LOL.

Glucosamine for healthy bone joints

60 is the new 40. I expect to live 100. That will bankrupt SS, haha..

I eat one banana, a whole bunch of fruit, a big salad everyday. A pomegranate including seeds when in season. I also drink 1 fresh coconut per day.

The curcumin/turmeric is really good. I should take it in pill format also. Or use it to marinate chicken.

Nobody mentioned saw palmetto.

I take a pill everyday to prevent BPH prostate enlargement, a problem that 90% of men will suffer.

It’s a natural remedy that American Indian used. And it’s a prescription in Germany.

What about Gingko?
I take a pill for brain function.
I like Chinese soup with Gingko, Ginseng, and black chicken. It’s kinda expensive at the Chinese restaurant. You can make it at home… it’s kind of bitter but healthy.

Bone broth is the new trend.

I take fish oil because I really don’t care for fish.

I’ve taken a multivitamin off and on. But for most people a balanced diet provides all the benefits of vitamins. Vegans (and to a lesser degree, vegetarians) do have to worry about certain dietary needs.

….

Ginko is a placebo (except perhaps in those with dementia), but benign (as long as it’s actually real Ginko, which is a huge risk with Chinese manufactured “herbal supplements”) Of course it shouldn’t be taken by those with blood circulation disorders or pregnant women.

[CA renter]

Daily, I take:

-5,000-10,000 IU of Vitamin D3
-1 multivitamin
-1 Ultimate Eye Formula from Sprouts (it works!)

I take the following about 2-5 times per week:

-1000 mg Fish Oil
-IP6, which has the potential to prevent, reduce or reverse tumor growth

Very interesting.

Of course, if you don’t have dementia then taking ginkgo won’t make you smarter. but it does increase blood flow, so I guess I don’t need to take low dose aspirin. For sure, I would avoid made in China supplements.

I think I need to learn a foreign language to exercise my brain and delay the onset of Alzheimer’s. Maybe playing poker.
