nickijay Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 ...do you think they really make a difference? I know of people that take tons of vitamins every day. I guess what I'm wondering is if they really make a difference. I try to take certain vitamins every day but I'm good for a while and then I stop. The one thing I really believe in is goldenseal and echinacea when I'm getting a cold. That stuff always chases my cold away. So, anyone a vitamin junkie???------------------ Boink like a bunny!!!

Crackorn Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 I am. I buy a "Men's Pack Four" every morning at Kung Fu's across the street from me. I don't eat much so I probably don't get my daily vitamin and mineral allowance. Makes me pee florescent yellow, too, which is fun when I'm tripping. ------------------Too crazy for Boys Town, too much of a boy for Crazy Town.Do what thou wilt.

translucent Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Being too lazy to research which vitamin does what, I take Centrum because it seems to contain a bit of everything. I'm not sure whether it's making any actual difference. At the very least, I feel healthier from the placebo effect.------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evovr6 Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Yeah I take a centrum and an extra Vitamin C pill to stay healthy every day. I don't know about all that fancy ass stuff, just the basics. I know I've been pretty much healthier and better feeling since I started taking the stuff tho.------------------ http://nastynate.tsx.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizard Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 i agree with the consensus, a decent multi and an extra C and/or E will do you justice. i dabbled with the expensive packets for a while, and turned out to be what my trainer at the time was quoted as calling "expensive urine"stephen------------------we must cultivate our gardens...

nickijay Posted December 6 Author Report Share Posted December 6 I'm telling you guys that at the first sign of a cold if you take echinacea and goldenseal (you can buy it in a combination form) your cold either goes away or the duration is less!! I swear by it. The thing is you shouldn't take echinacea every day or it isn't effective when you get sick. Also, for a cold, that coldeze stuff really works, it just tastes like shit. Zinc, which is in coldeze works too, but you can't take it on an empty stomach b/c it'll make you nauseas, or at least it does that to me- make me hurl.....I think I'm going to start taking that Centrum Silver or Geritol, ha ha!------------------ Boink like a bunny!!!

So, anyone a vitamin junkie???Golden seal is great but be carful about the echinacea take it for a 2 weeks and stop for a week and start back up. It works much better then. Try vit C too that helps boost your immune system also.peaceMarkus ------------------Find out whyNew York Magazine calls ODYSSEY@BARCODE afterwork Wedensdays"a Deep House revival among the Times Square heathens."The Odyssey continues @ Club New York"Dec.6th,13th and 20th, 200010:00pm-4:00amOrganic and Deep House music on the main Floor.Classics/R&B/Reggae and eclectic hip Hop in the Hookah lounge./>Http://www.odysseynyc.homepage.com“Stay in touch with the Destiny crew”“We will be back soon “/>http://www.destiny-nyc.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starstuff Posted December 9 Report Share Posted December 9 affirmative on the echinacea - it's most effective if you DON'T take it all the time. i've been taking it when i've had a long weekend or i know my immune system has taken a beating (i.e. dancing for 10 hours).5-HTP: 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) helps the nervous system by encouraging the production of serotonin. Supplement with vitamin C, vitamin B6, and magnesium to maximize benefits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
