CamelCamelCamel.
Could you elaborate? Pretty please, genuinely curious.
Your original description said "Heavy on bs". https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/596/117912/screenshot_…
It still says so, mods edited the title so I moved it into deal body.
Why "that's hardly an endorsement!" ? :)
@nuker: Well its not funny when I've got to explain the joke. So I asked ChatGPT to explain it:
"BS" is a shorthand for "bulls***," a colloquial term used to describe something as false, nonsensical, exaggerated, or deceptive. It is often used to express skepticism or disapproval of a statement, claim, or situation. While informal, it is widely recognized in English and frequently appears in both casual conversation and critical commentary.
Describing something as "Heavy on BS" typically conveys strong skepticism or criticism, suggesting that the subject is full of misinformation, exaggerations, or implausible claims. Such a characterization is inherently negative and implies that the speaker doesn't take the subject seriously or agree with it.
@adam: 'BS', 'Bs' and 'bs' are three very different things, dude. Case freakin sensitive, lol
How could you miss that??
is $29 80% more?
roughly
Swisse are BS
Just be careful of the B6. That's a very high amount and it can be problematic for some. I wouldn't recommend taking this as a one-a-day for that reason. That said, in my experience, Swisse multis tend to pack more nutrients into them on average, and this is a good price.
What are the risks of taking 50mg of B6 daily?
Neurotoxicity usually presenting as peripheral neuropathy.
As a doctor I advise any patient keen on supplements to be especially careful with vit B6. Most cases of toxicity involve someone taking multiple sources of vit B6, often 3 or more different supplements, because manufacturers seem to slip it in to all types of different formulations. I will not take or recommend any supplement that combines vit B6, the risk profile is just too high.
Another one is vit A and liver failure. Thankfully less common as manufacturers don't use it as ubiquitously, but it does happen and sometimes a young person needs a transplant because of their supplements.
It's best to stick to single micronutrient supplementation PRN - objectively identify a deficiency, adjust diet to solve, only consider supplementation if refractory and monitor and have an endpoint goal for cessation.
Is it OK if I only take one vit tab per day and it is this one?
My other daily one is D3 10k.
As a doctor, you probably aware of the cases when someone actually checked contents of a multivitamin pills sold in countries with good healthcare and standards. With that in mind, I wouldn't blame B6 this much, even though you are totally right about it.
Support healthy stress response.
Ay lmao
I tried this. Made me feel sick. Went back to regular strength.
Superman, 1, 2, 3…
