Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
The daily aspirin thread going on prompted me to think about the small fistful of daily supplements I take. Contrary to the NYT articles, all of which seem to say “It’s a waste of money,” I’ve benefited. Mine currently are:
1. A One-A-Day multivitamin since my 20s. The first thing I noticed was some warts on my hands disappeared and have never returned. I can’t specify other benefits but so far, so good.
2). Vitamin D, because I live up north where one can’t get enough through sunshine. It’s supposed to help with mood but I don’t know.
3). Biotin makes my nails look healthier.
4). Turmeric/pepperine. I’ve been doing this one for 2.5 years in an attempt to address my lifetime of borderline triglycerides readings. The effect has been nothing short of dramatic for me. For the first time in my life, the three blood lipids panels I’ve had since I started this are all entirely normal.
What do you take, if any, and have you seen tangible benefits?
