vitamin supplements

om...
When one considers the fact that some of our biggest vitamin
manufacturers hadn't been putting vitamins into the vitamin tablets
they were sellling, and nobody seemed to have noticed, I suggest you'd
be better off taking a good course of placebos.

It wasn't that bad was it? I thought they were just adding floor
scrapings to existing pills... bit of rat poo here, sawdust there,
you know? ;-)

I wish there was some conclusive proof one way or the other
as to how useful various supplements are. 'Serious Cycling'
seems to favour the use of various antioxidant supplements
but they are expensive, possibly harmful in the wrong
dosage, may not even be the substance you are paying for
and might not even be doing anything!
On the other hand, their seems to be evidence that some
of these supplements actually do you good.. why can't it
be a simpler choice!!

The AIS uses Cenovis, which tells you two things. Firstly, vitamin pills do
you some good. Two, don't waste your money on the super-duper NASA-designed
mega-ultra-slow release jumbo economy size pills. The ones at the
supermarket are good enough.

"US RDA for VitA is 5000IU per day. Many people
believe you need 10,000 - 20,000 IU of VitA to fight
infections and battle free radicals"

The Australian RDA is 2500IU per day. Excessive VitA has been proven to be
dangerous, 8000IU per day being about the threshold. Pregnant women
especially should be careful not to take too much.

Be very careful with this one. Overdose deaths have occurred
(albeit explorers eating polar bear liver).

Polar bear liver!? What the?!
Why not their juicy brains? ;-)

Maybe because their brains are warped by too much BUNDY RUM LOL

So now I take about 20,000 IU per week - but
in winter only (it's not for nothing that animals in cold
climates have very high concentrations in the liver).

But they would be getting it all naturally - when was
the last time Sir David Attinburough(sp?) explained
that the polar bear was struggling with the lid of its
pill bottle because it was one of the new child proof
ones?

Snakes, spiders, etc contain venom - should we?

I don't think finding high concentrations of a substance
in animals is sufficient reason for dosing up on it.
I would be looking into its effects on humans.
