As someone whose diet is already high in eggs, meat etc. (paleo) I wonder how much effect this has. I am asking this because both fish oil supplements and magnesium supplements don't seem to have any additional beneficial effect on me. Anyone have experience with that?
- billswift 14y agoAs the post admitted, few supplements have benefit once you are eating a well-balanced diet. As he put it, "these are best used to fill any deficiencies." Though it is sad to see what amounts to an infomercial voted up to the number 2 spot on HN. Added: Now it's made the top post.
- illuminate 14y agoThe claim that "90% of people are deficient" is certainly suspect, considering that admission.
- _feda_ 14y agoI've been taking cod liver oil, ginseng, and multivitamin (vitamin A through D, thiamin etc.) for the past month or so along with a pretty healthy and substantial vegetarian diet. I couldn't say if it's benefited me or not because the effect seems so slight that it could only be measured with some pretty detailed self-tracking. I'll be trying Neurozan (http://www.vitabiotics.com/Neurozan/ http://www.vitabiotics.com/Neurozan/) in the next few weeks.
