mr. dd and I just went shopping for vitamins and minerals. Stuff his doctor recommended. $100 later, they look so healthy sitting there on the counter. We bought fish oil, flaxseed oil, VitE, VitC, Centrum, and CoQ-10 (I think that's what it is..). Skunky, did we miss anything...your thoughts please..and anyone else who's a vitamin junkie. :idontno:
 
I guess it depends on why he was urged to take them in the first place. I am a fan of flax and fish oil. CoQ 10 is trendy right now and promised to cure all manner of ills, but I don't think the evidence is there except for modest at best lowering of blood pressure. Except for select scenarios, a multivitamin like centrum will give you all you will ever need for supplement purposes without taking extra vitamin C, E, etc. And I always encourage people to buy the generic multivitamins. If you have not opened the bottles yet, I would bring back the CoQ 10, C and E for a refund. :wave:

Thanks, that's kinda what I thought and what I had heard. I'll pass along the info to mr. dd. I read a lot about the benefits of the fish and flax. mr. dd's attempting to quit smoking...an on-going stuggle around here, as you know. :blush:

Why, thank you, SJ. :wub: :wave:
I was shown a similar picture from my 8th grade biology teacher who was hooked. She didn't want us to end up like her. Seeing the photo of the charred lungs was enough for me to not take interest in smoking. She should have shown me that when I smoked my first cigar when I was in the second grade and I wouldn't have smoked for those early years.

Beyond the cancer, I just can't imagine coughing every day and not being able to taste things. :(
