And do they make any difference? And no, beer doesn't count as a supplement. Being a man just the wrong side of 50, I wondered if I should consider anything. |  |

Turmeric. Vitamin D. Vitamin B complex. Vitamin C. Glucosamine.
Getting on a bit now and being a gardener, not taking any chances. Possibly some of it is in the mind, but i do think they have made a difference to my general all round mobility.

It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Vit D3 one-a-day (recommended by GP as my levels were massively down in Sept 2018 despite lots of outdoors work & sunbathing that glorious summer)
Iron (borderline anaemic), Calcium (osteoporosis), Magnesium (supposed to be anti-cramp, but can't say I've noticed any difference. |  |

I've sold them, taken pretty much everything and there are a few which are scientifically proven to do what they say. But most are 1-5% improvements for a lot of people.
At the minute I'm back on an everyday multivitamin and cod liver oil supplement as I'm at such a high risk of germs and obviously COVID.
I also take ZMA at the moment to try and get some sleep.
For ayone interested I know the bloke who owns this place and he's a decent guy and I use them now. They usually do some good offers and the stuff is high quality. I'm not an employee or on commission unfortuantely.

Been taking Vitamin D3 for 3 months (as low in it according to blood tests) but it has not made a jot of difference to me. Also have a multivitamin and not sure that does much either. |  | | |

You don't know what colds/bugs/other health problems you might have had if you hadn't taken the D3 tho, Debsy. | |

And there seems to be a strong correlation between severity of covid symptoms and how much vitamin D is in your blood.
No proof because they haven't had time to test it but a strong correlation. It's worth doubling up just in case. | |

I’ve taken 7seas multi vit’s, high strength cod liver oil ( Arthur Ritus ) and high strength Vit D for about 10 years and never had a day sick since.
Gotta say not sure on the oil for the joints but on the off chance it’s helping, I ain’t stopping.
Turmeric never helped.
For the cost involved, I highly recommend the Vit’s and the extra Vit D. | | | |

It's ok if you get taken short, there's always a lamppost near by to use or the gutter.  |  | | |

Have been giving Metatone a try based on recommendation. It has done no harm and seems to have helped shift the lingering effects of a cold quicker than I would usually expect.

Don't just randomly take vitamins if you don't know if you are deficient in something. You can cause imbalances in what you body naturally produces.
Instead, go to you doctor and get screened properly. If they won't do it, do something like blood tests.
I'm fit and healthy. I eat well. But I did the basic blood tests through medicheck and found that one type of cholesterol is too high and the other is too low. They recommended increasing the amount of oily fish I ate as an easy fix.

I was on the turmeric for my dodgy knee but I decided it didn't do anything |  |
