          I don't think I've ever taken a vitamin or supplement in my life. Update: still alive.

            As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

              Seriously though, I have taken glutamine and BCAA's (branch chain amino acids) for years.  Yes, whey and Casein (like those found in cottage cheese or yogurt) provide a similar effect but sometimes I want the benefits without the calories.

                  I buy plain (unflavored) protein for my protein shakes, then I can control the calories/sweetness a little better.

                   

                  Glutamine is the bomb.  Though the chart disagrees with me, I think lol

                    I do supplement iron and magnesium but that's due to specific deficiencies, and whey protein because it's cheap and easy and tastes like cake batter. I need to pick up some vitamin D too, because it's dark and dreary up here in the winter and I'm sure I don't get enough.

                      My psychiatrist has me take Omega 3s and vitamin D, both on the top of the chart. I'll follow her advice. Other than that, no thanks.

                        Seriously, I am not against any of that business, just always been too lazy to get into it. I think you can probably safely draw the scientific conclusion that some stuff has some benefits for some people. I am just more eye-rolly at folks who otherwise treat themselves like crap & then expect any of the above items to fix all their problems (usually after reading about it in one of the magazines found at the supermarket checkout).

                            Multi+D3 insurance and I need the D for osteo.

                            Calcium - Osteporosis

                            K2 - work in progress, try to keep calcium where it belongs, bones not arteries.

                            Plant sterols - so I can stay off statins.

                            glucosamine - joints, osteo arthritis.

                                I take a vitamin D, a multi-vitamin and 2 glucosamine capsules a day and all it probably does is make a fool out of me and empty my wallet.
