did they warn you about Nexium / esopramazole (the antacid)? Also blocks iron absorption, so be careful on that.
All g I don't take antacids so I don't think I'll have issues with that thankfully
It also causes issues with bone density.
Can you start taking vitamin D even though you haven't seen a doctor but you think you might be low because you don't get outside much because the sun hates you?
Unless you have an identified need (ie low on a pathology report) its just gonna give you expensive wee.
I already have expensive wee. Lol.
I'll try and get 10 minutes a day and go from there. Thanks. Much appreciated โค๏ธ
They used to say that 10 minutes of forearm exposure was enough.
I think I can manage that.
I believe so. The ones to watch out for are Vitamin A and Vitamin E for overdoses which can kill you or make you very sick. Excess quantities of most other vitamins just get pissed out and don't do too much damage en route. Vitamin C in particular gets pissed out if taken in large quantities.
Are you a redhead? We make our own
No. My mum was. I have light brown hair.
can't hurt then. I think the number is like a full quarter of aussies have a vitamin D deficiency which sounds insane, but stops cancer so fuckit.
