re: Do you think taking vitamins & minerals supplements does anything?

Not sure but when I take slo niacin I'm amnazed at how much better I feel.
My ears will turn red and feel flushed but the rest is a lot better.

I take a multivitamin daily and they’re remarkable! Here’s a picture of me today and I’m 87 years old!!!!

I take Beet root and it definitely helps lower blood pressure 4-5 points. Its not a substitute for blood pressure medication if you high high blood pressure but it helps if you are on the cusp. Also take Vit D ever since covid because my annual blood work always used to show low Vit D counts and now I'm in the normal range. So those work....no idea about anything else.

Daily multi gummy, d3 gummy, chewable zinc, and collagen/glucosamine powder in the coffee.

If you still drink milk, that has to go. That was hard to give up but no burning in my knuckles is a powerful incentive.

They do no good whatsoever in the 1st world. We are not malnourished or vitamin deprived, at least not in the modern age.

I take Zinc every day and D3 twice a week and aside from sinus infections, I'm never sick. I did have a small chest cold about a month ago(got it from my boss) but I was over it in a couple of days. Only had to take a couple of doses of OTC cold medicine. But that's been it.

Family history of arthritis and the beetus. 38 yo. Any recommendations for those symptoms?

Not sure about the extremities like that but I also stay away from food that cause inflammations, which is pretty much anything that comes from a box and pretty much all breads. It may be painful at first but also try mild exercises that get the joints moving and loose and do it everyday.

I got Geritol as a gag gift for my 50 birthday. Decided to take them and after 4 days after I started I noticed I didn't ache or hurt as much when I got up in the mornings. Ive been taking them since them.
