    I don't take any - but I have to be told I'm dying to get me to take an aspirin... I read a report several years ago from some medical organization, don't remember who.. that said 99% of most supplements do absolutely nothing, so I don't think I'm missing anything by not taking any.

    You're probably not.

    I would guess that being healthier is more about ingesting less stuff, and almost never about ingesting more more stuff.

    Education is extremely important.

      I've waffled around on this question my whole life. Which is true? A, that if you eat a healthy diet you're getting all the nutrients you need, or B, the soils are depleted so the products are also, plus the effects of harmful additives require supplementation?

      I don't know. So I take supplements to be on the safe side, when I don't even know if it is necessary to consider a safe side.

        I never took any before transplant. Except a multivitamin as a small kid, at the time I was a very picky eater and probably needed it.

          Yeah, I'm the same way. I hate taking tablets of any sort, even Tylenol when I have a blinding headache - I put it off until I can't take the pain and nagging any more.

          I have found that people who are convinced they are sick the whole time seem to take a lot of medicine and supplements. A bit of a chicken-and-egg situation, if you ask me.

          I was only joking

            A men’s daily multivitamin. Just because it makes the wife happy. Honestly if I wanted to do something for my health I would cut out booze but that’s easy to say until about 5pm each day…

              https://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Article/2022/01/14/Majority-of-NMN-products-tested-by-ChromaDex-had-virtually-none-of-active-ingredient

              Majority of NMN products tested by ChromaDex had virtually none of active ingredient

              This is the Amazon Choice for NMN

              https://www.amazon.com/Nicotinamide-Mononucleotide-Supplement-Metabolism-Capsules/dp/B079S3XF4H/ref=sr_1_10?crid=6613OGHJGFTB&keywords=nmn+supplement&qid=1653765167&sprefix=nmn+supplement%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-10

              Look at the "Customer questions & answers"

              There is a picture of a certificate that appears to say this product contains 0% NMN.

              Zero Percent

              And it is the Amazon Choice

              The Amazon Seller disagrees:

              To all Amazon Customers. It important to note there are many fake sellers of NMN on the platform that have been busted by other parties selling products with no NMN. Their answer to this is to post fake COAs on Us, Doublewood, Toniiq and ProHealth as a way to muddy the waters and deflect this revelation. We have been selling on the Amazon platform for years and have nothing to gain by selling fake products and everything to lose. You can buy in confidence and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us directly.

                It stops being easy to say at that point because you slur your words so much?
