    did they warn you about Nexium (the antacid)? Also blocks iron absorption, so be careful on that.

      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 ❤️

              They used to say that 10 minutes of forearm exposure was enough.

          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.

              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.
