Too Many Supplements

[Old_Lifter_65]

So I took a look through the supplements cupboard this morning while I was cleaning up and found this stash that's been sitting for a while. Currently I om only taking zinc/copper and magnesium (for my tendonitis) and I won't be buying more z/c once finished.

It never ceases to amaze me how much money i have spent on supps over the years and never really felt any different using any of them. Some like selenium are contra-indicated for people who have had benign skin spots (they even say it on the label). So I might need to pitch that one. Otherwise, I'm thinking I'll just start adding them into my daily routine until they are gone and I won't bother to replace them once finished. I need to get my money's worth.

Unless you have a deficiency in a vitamin or mineral, supplements are a waste of money 95% of the time!

I wouldn’t bother with the left over supplements.

You made laugh... I have a tote that is full of supplements, some are years old. And yes, the money spent is crazy.

I still take a fair amount of supps, but they are more targeted. You don't always have to feel them for them to be beneficial.

I feel your pain @Old_Lifter_65. Here is my smaller kitchen pantry. Between pharmaceutical medication and supplement, I honestly don't even know what all we have in this closet. I do know that the neat little line of supplements in the middle I take on a daily basis. Not sure if any of it helps but I continue to take it just in case.

This is my two week pill box. Most are actual meds, though. This is the reason I am still alive while all my friends died.

Wow, I thought I took a lot. I know what you mean from others I've known who refused to take what they needed and have left us. I am going to be cutting way back on supplements after watching Live to a Hundred Blue Zones and focus more on fasting and diet. (Netflix BTW). Seeing people active as 30 year olds at 100, no supplements, no healthcare!

Nelson, correct me if I’m wrong, but those orange capsules look exactly like my Jatenzo 237 mg capsules.

I have two plastic boxes with pullout drawers, they are both filled with prescription medications. We have a stock pile of antibiotics etc to try to limit the visits to the doctor. Another plastic pull out drawer bod is full of medications for our cats. Saves a lot in expensive vet bills. Thankfully you have access to all of these medications @Nelson Vergel I think all of us one the same quest to stay alive as long as we can.
