As someone whose diet is already high in eggs, meat etc. (paleo) I wonder how much effect this has. I am asking this because both fish oil supplements and magnesium supplements don't seem to have any additional beneficial effect on me. Anyone have experience with that?
As the post admitted, few supplements have benefit once you are eating a well-balanced diet. As he put it, "these are best used to fill any deficiencies." Though it is sad to see what amounts to an infomercial voted up to the number 2 spot on HN.
I've been taking cod liver oil, ginseng, and multivitamin (vitamin A through D, thiamin etc.) for the past month or so along with a pretty healthy and substantial vegetarian diet. I couldn't say if it's benefited me or not because the effect seems so slight that it could only be measured with some pretty detailed self-tracking.
It contains iron which immediately flags it as garbage. Males should not supplement iron unless directed to do so by a doctor. Unless you donate blood regularly it can build up in your body.
