Not to dig up old threads, but everything a person needs can be found in food.
Think of it this way (and by no means am I a doc), but:
ALL those ingredients Centrum throws in their brand, where do you think they came from? Do you think they were just bio-manufactured from out of thin air?
NO!
All that shit - arginine, glutamine, lysine, ornithine, blah blah blah. It’s ALL natural baby. Arginine is in meat and nuts and wheat bread and everything. Glutamine’s in carrots, bread, milk, etc.
I mean, did the guys in the 1700’s NEED Centrum? No. Supplementation is sort of like meal replacement. In today’s age of Mickey D’s and Burger King, we probably don’t get enough daily vitamins so we take them in a tiny little pill.
Personally, (again, not playing doc), but I think the only supplements you should even consider are the ones you CAN’T get naturally from food.
Like Ginkgo, Ginseng, Tongkat, Fish Oil (unless you eat fish god bless ya), Arnica, whatever.
And EVEN then - most of that shit gets absorbed in your stomach acid. So it’s all a crapshoot. It helps in good dosages (I’ve noticed at least). Take too much though, and you pee it out anyway.
My secret? Water. Drink water. Lots of water. Body’s made up of like 75% water dudes.
I’m gonna look into collagen though. You hear about chicks putting it on their lips. Why not put it on my dick, if not for keeping it shiny and healthy looking.
