That was my reaction when I saw the price on individual packs of the supplements I have been gifted. It's like this, the relief packet has been air-dropped on us, and the rest of the later dosages will have to be bought by us.
It was a brain-romp to look at the prices....the cheapest supplement that I have in my custody has the same price as my budget for 7 weeks of veggies, or 4 weeks of net grocery, or the price of that really expensive daily wear I get for myself and feel a little guilty about.
The combined list of supplements that have landed on my lap are (DH + me):
a) A Powder that has essential Amino Acids, Vitamins and Mineral (including Ubidecarenone BP/ Coenzyme Q10)
b) Tablet that has Vitamin-E and Selenium, extracted from Parsley.
c) Softgels that contain Salmon Omega-3 plus d-Alpha Tocopherol.
d) Tablet with Siberian Ginseng and Gingko Biloba
e) Tablet containing concentrate of Acerola Cherries (Vitamin C)
f) Iron-Folic Acid supplement
g) Protein powder
h) Tablet that has Multivitamin and Multimineral content (inclusive of Zinc, Pantothenic Acid, Molybdenum etc.)
I love taking these molecule names, because there is a semi-orgasmic sensation that I now derive from bragging about my diet of superfood.
And if that does not get you any high, think of how pretty I am going look after 3 months of the diet:

ReplyDeleteThose vitamins are going to work wonders---I just know it! I feel it in my bones! xoxoxo
Wow that sure is a pharmacopeia :o) I hope it does the trick sweet WiseGuy!
ReplyDeleteWow, quite a lot. Do you keep a list of them to make sure you take them all?
ReplyDeleteYou don't know if they work or not until you take them. I keep my fingers crossed for you.
Yep, that's how they do...drug dealers, I mean. They give you a bit for free until you're hooked, and then...time to pay the piper.

That's a crazy big list! I think you'll need a spreadsheet to keep track!
ReplyDeleteICLW
WOW, what a list
ReplyDelete~Stopping by for ICLW #78
I'm curious to know who "prescribed" these supplements. Is it a doctor or a naturopath or someone else?
ReplyDeleteThe costs are frightening. Maybe you could find them online and order such a large amount that they give you a discount. Probably not, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
