Mother's Little Helper


Does anyone else take this many vitamins? I guess they aren't all vitamins. Some are herbal supplements.

So far I take a multiple vitamin, red yeast rice for cholesterol, glucosamine for my wobbly knees, black currant seed oil for my hair and nails, omega 3 for my heart, B complex for energy and some kind of herbal supplement for my eyes. Oh and a baby aspirin for heart health.

I wonder if they really do anything. I seem to feel better when I take them consistently and I swear my hair grows faster and my joints are stronger. What would I have to eat in order to get the same nutritional benefits? Pounds of vegetables? Plates of legumes and fruit? I don't suppose the M&Ms I ate this afternoon were laced with nutrients.

I laughed out loud when I saw that picture with that title. I thought maybe you were going down a different road with all the pills. Sure, I believe they're all herbal. Sure.

I have been reading most of your posts; some are too funny; so many stories that happened to you or happened around you. Very nice "reality" stories.
I wish "they" would put pureed black beans or pureed spinach in those chocolate candies...... anything to make them guilt free eating!
