centrum performance or other vitamins?

By hmspgh (Fri Dec 05, 2003 at 01:42:21 AM EST) (all tags)

Recommendations on vitamins, anyone?

So I've been taking Centrum Performance ("For the Vitality of Your Mind & Body") for a few weeks now. I'm not sure if it's doing all the advertising blitzes say it'll do, but I feel a bit more energetic and am able to focus a lot easier than before. Of course, that may be due in part to working out a bit more. They taste like those old Flintstone vitamins that my parents used to force feed me.

Can anyone recommend a decent vitamin, suite of vitamins, or magical tablet that'll help with memory?

Virtually nobody needs supplemental vitamins, and taking a glut of them has not been shown to have any benefit.

Of course, this rant is most commonly directed at just vitamin C, but I figure: hey - why not branch out.

Also, I'm aware that I managed to entirely avoid it becoming a rant at all.

you definitely don't need a metric fuckload of vitamins.
I take a gram of vitamin C a day, and I find that my allergies are damn near gone. Just for that, it's worth it.
Well, that and the bright yellow urine.
My diet sucks, though, as I'm on a protein-heavy diet, low carbs, no fruit.

Depends. by blixco (3.00 / 0) #2 Fri Dec 05, 2003 at 01:57:02 AM EST

Depends on a lot of factors. Do you smoke? Drink? Have headaches? Get enough sleep?

For smartdug type things, I recently wrote a diary about them, here. I will say that my focus was really really good whiel on them, but my focus wasn't easy to control. I'd be working on a Thing, then my mind would wander, I'd remember some Gilligan's Island episode, and I'd obsess of creating a radio from a coconut for like an hour or five.

They're smart drugs. Hydergine and piracetma, specifically.
I couldn't get my mind to latch onto stuff like that with more, shall we say, illicit substances.
