Do you take supplements?

i've noticed over the years that if they are the wrong shape i have trouble with them. after almost choking to death on a cold pill i don't take anything that is bigger than a 500 mg tylenol.

Where did you get the pill organizers?
We take many supplements so I am looking for a pill organizer that is large enough. Most are so small they just hold the small prescription med size pills. Our Bone Up, Omega 3, CoQ10 are each very large capsules and we take 2 of the Bone Up and Omega. Then there are the the 8 or so smaller pills. Your dispenser appears to be large enough to hold what we take.

@Homeschoolie I buy my pill holders in the pharmacy section of my local grocery store/Kroger. Iā€™ve since upgraded from the original photo because I added a couple more supplements and decided to split them up into morning/evening consumption. Bought from the same place.

I don't think there's any real proof they do any good. Correct me if I'm wrong.

There are some websites that talk about whether or not there is research proof that supplements work. They also give warnings and if there are side affects, interactions, who shouldn't take etc. WebMd, Healthline, medline plus and others. But they seldom provide the actual research or how many studies have been done.

Soooo... THIS is my favorite www.examine.com : Here is and example of the info they provide
Pycnogenol Supplement ā€” Health Benefits, Dosage, Side Effects | Examine.com scroll down to see the Human Matrix Chart and the Research Breakdown by physical issue.

This website shows how many research studies were done and their result.
They have a pay option to get even more info but the free version is enough for me to quickly see if there is any proof what I take actually works for what I want it to accomplish.
Occasionally it doesn't have ALL the studies that were done. It takes time and money to keep it up to the minute updated.
I am not going to get fussy about it. I am totally grateful for the info they provide me.
