My bathroom sink is beginning to resemble a geriatric’s. But it’s not quite as bad as the one foot square, multi-compartmented “pill pallet” an HIV-positive friend once showed me.
In the morning, I take: 4000 mg (or “four grams” — stupid Americans) of vitamin D and 400 mg magnesium citrate.
In the evening is when the real party happens:
- Another 400 mg magnesium citrate
- 27 mg Ferrochel* (iron) — 1.5x this twice a week (on whatever are my heaviest training days)
- 1000 mg vitamin C
- 500 mg omega 3
- Birth control pill
- Allergy pill
- Half a 3 mg Lunesta (rarely and only as needed)
Whatever. They’re all working.
* This comes with, as a bonus:
– 60 mg vitamin C
– 200 mcg folic acid
– 60 mcg vitamin B-12
– 48 mg calcium (I’ve not idea why, since calcium impedes iron absorption)

That ain’t bad.
Some of the supplement bills racked up by some weight-lifters/gym-rats that I know are unreal.
Pill-popping of even the seemingly innocuous variety can be really expensive and addicting, I mean they all claim to be “good for you” in one way or another.
Thats a lot off pill!.
And do you run better whit the Birth control pill?, when it is a yes, than i take some of those pill ;-).

Yes, because I’m not carrying a 9 lb. baby. 🙂
