For some strange reason, I woke up this morning with an overwhelming desire to kick someone's ass. Not sure why, although taking Maca Clara (http://estore.heavenspa.com/Category.pasp?cid=holi&txtCategory=Maca_Clara) may have something to do with it. My doctor recommended it, so it's kewl. I've been on it about a week and it actually seems to be working, unlike most other "dietary supplements."

I usually take garlic capsules, fish oil, gensing, vitamin E, beta-carotene and a multivitamin with minerals, but I stopped all of those so I could see what effects Maca Clara would have.

Anyone else take vitamins/dietary supplements?

I take a ton of vitamins. My grandmother is a clinical laboratory scientist so since I was a little boy, she has told my parents the daily regimine of vitamins I should take, and I just listen like a good little boy.:rolleyes:

Although, fish oil... ew.

I take complete multi vitamins and minerals, but not because of any medical need - I just eat a pretty unhealthy diet at Uni so figure I ought to balance it out a little.

Oh, don't get me started... however, "nutriceuticals," apart from being completely ridiculous a moniker, sounds an awful lot like "neuticles." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuticles)

Fish oil is good for you. Besides, I take them in capsule form to avoid the taste. :D

Uh... I found a site that says Maca is an aphrodisiac... I'm not sure I wanted to know that Eut was taking an aphrodisiac.

What get's me is that if these herbs are tasty and healthy, then why not just ship them raw and use them in your cooking instead. Taking a handful of pills each day just seems odd to me. And I'm sure it's probably not the best take to absorb the minerals and what have from the plant by taking them as supplements.

Says Maca is sweet and a tuber. You could have mashed Maca or roast or boil them. Or even turn them in chips (fries).

Yes, for people who have had to undergo castration for various reasons/transsexual men.

Castration....more like "Fass-tration"! Worst. Pun. Ever. Actually, pretend you never read that.

Hehehe! What! You don't approve of treating the whole person rather than just a bunch of symptoms? Tsk! ;)

OMG! [ groans loudly. Struggles to ignore ... fails! ] Surely you can't mean that a gentleman like Dr. Fass would stoop to verbal castration! :eek:

Do you know what homeopathy is? Homeopathy != holistics.

No you're not, but I will resent the implication that I should be anything but dutifully careful with the testicles entrusted to my care.

Dandy. This is my "rocking out night". I got some Italian ethno-techno, Nordic folk music, Shakira, some trippy stuff from home, and now "Rapture" by Iio, which is quite "sweet". Thanks, mate!

I'm going to hop about as I skin some potatoes now.
