How many pills/caps do you take per day

[qbkilla]

Some of the threads about supplements/medicine/orals have got me thinking how many pills some must take per day. When I started I took every vitamin, supplement, etc. I had a baggie I'd carry in my backpack.

I've since taken the opposite approach and tried to cut out all the "extra"

My current total
Multi (now Adam) 2
Vs astrologus (3g) 6
Vitamin d (probably will stop this soon)!1

So 9;total per day. If I use drol or var it's usually 1x50mg tab so 10 total

Would be interested to see what others take. Total pills including anabolics, anti e, fat burners, health medication, herbs/vitamins/supplements.

50-60 or even more lol

Yea north of 70 bc of liver tablets and Omega fats and yes I feel much better when my supps are on point. For optimization in training at a bodybuilding level IMO you can’t eat enough vitamins and if you did you’d be eating a ton of sugar from fruits and several vegetables as well.

70 is in the lead, does anyone go north of 100? Back before I simplified things, I'd guess I was in the 15-25 range

 

[goback2013]

I'm in the 20-25 range as well.
Mainly GDAs like ALA, cinnamon, chromium, etc.

It was once said.. 'I love the small of napalm in the morning..'

Well i say.. 'I love the smell of ALA when I take a piss in the morning.'
Or maybe the smell of guiacol...
Regardless.. I'll take either or.

just looked in my cupboard, surprised to find I’m at 87, plus mealtime incidentals like rALA, enzymes, betaine hcl

26 if I just did all the math right and didn't miss anything

How do you measure melatonin raws ?
On a mg scale or dissolving a measurable amount in water ?

Over 40 plus a few spoonful's of powders and liquids.

I probably take around 15 pills twice a day.
It is not an inconvenience as i only take while at home and can take them all in about 2 shots lol

I am not measuring with a precision scale, it is too small an amount to calculate, so Im be taking much more than the recommended 3mg dose. It is not the most scientific but the most practical.

Oh. Figured you'd dump 100mg into some solvent mixture.. then dose volumeteically.

Oh, well that would be a good solution, but I'm an absolute stupid when it comes to doing basic physics calculations.

Cmon... everyone MUST be a citizen scientist in this game..
Joking aside...always appreciate your input..

I used to take a stupid amount, at one point I did bloods while on them and blood a month or so later off of everything and there was no difference.

I still take them because I'm a dumb donkey but I take half doses, every other day.....to be honest I feel better for it. Unless there is specifically something I am trying to fix then I will take it legitimately....

 

[Brock456]

I take about 20-30 a day and I thought that was a lot lol
