Does anyone take vitamins? I was thinking about getting some zinc as it's meant to be good for your skin and I reckon I don't get enough of it.

no. From what I gather, unless you're living solely on jaffa cakes and irn bru, chances are you're getting enough of these minerals/vitamins anyway.

I find a good way of getting minerals and vitamins is by eating food. For example, steak, potato and runner beans followed by a piece of fruit (eg, an orange).

I take iron supplements because I'm a vegetarian.
Thorn, to my knowledge, has never eaten an orange after a meal, just in case you were thinking he was some kind of health guru.

Oh, just eat food. Once you start getting into this sort of stuff you find yourself lost in Holland and Barrett, staring glazed at all these little jars of shiny poppy pills, each with their little lying promises of glowing skin or whiter teeth or better blood or faster digestion or improved detox or healthier liver. It's all a load of bollocks really. I mean it's the sort of thing Gillian McKeith knows about, so it can't be any good.
I am taking iron sporadicallyat the moment, but thatisall. And that's because I've done nothing but lose blood for a fortnight. Which is rather careless of me. And in quantities that can't really be improved with a chunk of brocoli.

I'm currently surviving on a diet of raw vegetables, fruit and chicken. I reckon this is satisfying my body's vitamin/mineral requirements.

quote:Low zinc status has been observed in 30% to 50% of alcoholics. Alcohol decreases the absorption of zinc and increases loss of zinc in urine. In addition, many alcoholics do not eat an acceptable variety or amount of food, so their dietary intake of zinc may be inadequate (2, 24, 25).

WTF? What about those smoothies I make for us twice a day, every single day? What did you think went into them? Cobwebs and magic?

actually that's a bit cruel. I wasn't insinuating that you're an alcoholic Dr Benway. Just saying that if you drink a lot of alcohol you may have low zinc levels.

Berocca does sound the bollocks.
quote:my frend told me to try it out on my girlfrend so i did and it worked so good. ok wot u do is get a Berrocca tablet and a girl(of course). then get her naked and aroused by muckin around then get the Berrocca tablet and place it on her clit. it shuld start bubbling away but if it doesnt just get a couple of drops of water and place them on the tablet. the feeling is ment to b awesomeand once it is fully disolved just say u need to clean her up(with your tongue of course). also if u dont the taste of pussy this gives it a distinct citrus aroma and taste.
ETA: If you spell it correctly in a google search you get better links
quote:Sold in Australia specifically as a vitamin supplement, but widely recognised as a hangover cure, these small tubes contain all the chemicals that are lost and destroyed in a drinking session, in the correct proportions. In its native land, Berocca is often handed out free to delegates every morning at week-long conferences. Many Australians would not consider going on a binge without a supply of Berocca to hand.
Berocca is now available in the UK from Boots the Chemist. It is marketed as a pick-me-up for business meetings, but drinkers know better!

I've noticed that the ubiquitous vitabiotics ads on the tube now include a line about vitamin supplements being useful if not receiving vitamins in regular diet. I don't like vitabiotics. There's something sinister about their approach.
Like, that advert that goes "Tired? You're suffering from Daily Fatigue. Take this supplement to combat it", as if being tired is some kind of illness that can only be treated with magic pills. It encourages people to throw cash at problems that require more than just pills, and probably therefore just makes things worse in the long run.

I usually chew a zinc rod at work, so I should be okay.

Berocca is great, but criminally priced. Sainsbury do an own brand version which, whilst it doesn't taste quite as nice, is about a fifth of the price of the real deal.

You know when vicar asks 'is there anyone gathered here today who ...you know, doesn't want them to get married and stuff?' - well benway did a blow off and Bandy laughed hard under his hand until Jonesy's mum stared really hard at them and the ceremony continued on really well. I hear.

the best thing for a hangover is a dose of codeine and ibuprofen, not pissing about with vitamins. I mean, I was throwing up jack daniels at 11 o'clock last night, but thanks to magic of nurofen, I'm breezy and happy. Vitamins would not have done the stirling job that the 6 am painkillers did.

Sorry everyone. I should take Vitamin B6, E and Omega 3, because in my folly of youth, I feel invunerable still and am only slightly frightened at blood type Ragu.

Wedding was great, thanks Louche. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed myself, bearing in mind I hate being the centre of attention and was dreading the occasion. Benway didn't blow off at that moment, NWOD, and Bandy didn’t laugh because they arrived late to the church (I understand Benway had to stop for a wee or something) so they probably missed that bit. Benway did get hammered later on and he generally had a lot of love to give over the course of the day.

I take Cod Liver Oil, Zinc, and Milk Thistle at the moment. Thinking about changing the fish oil to flaxseed oil because I take alot and because of mercury and other toxins in fish.
I tend to take lots of Vitamin C, and up my (in food) garlic and green veg intake if I feel like I'm getting a cold, which working in a school is fairly often. But it seems to work.
I may be trying some other suppliments and stuff because my body doesn't like me very much at the moment and I'd rather throw money at my problems than not eat bread, not drink booze or have to take excercise.

Oh, lovely Jonesy. Will photographs of this event be wending their way onto the internet at any point?

Convalescence. The south coast in a bath chair sort of thing. Sea air. Unlike Herbs, I managed to avoid being inveigled into that strange cult with their country houses, but it was a near thing.

I know your leg was borken and you have been spewing soup like a scene from the excorcist, but I hope you spare a thought for hungry mart, stuck behind his desk while you sail the seven seas.
Mart, enjoying a lunch-free day in the office, now.

Why is Mart's skeletal officeness directly related to my dubious health? Is there a law somewhere that states that when one forite takes great gallumphing swathes of time off work, another must work doubly hard to make up some kind of balance? If so, I don't want to be linked to mart. I like mart. I don't want to think of him slaving over a cheap veneered desk into the early hours simply because I am not. I shall consider who I would like to suffer then inform the appropriate authorities.

Hey if you get time off, happy days. When I worked at the NHS a colleague took a year off sick and when they were due back in, they took two weeks holiday as it had accumalated and they wouldn't have been able to have it if they didn't take it. It was just, the other day it sounded like mart was working in some kind of draconian environment, denied such delights as eating at his desk and all the while you tie wild flowers into your hair and ride a unicorn off into the sunset.
