so i was getting a simple prescription med from a local pharmacy when the pharmacist asked me about what i take

multivitamins, ag1, ashwagandha, l-theanin, b12, b6 sometimes, d3

and then they asked why

wtf how do you even respond to this?

with links? data? research?

but it was all verbal

i'm lost

cto @ bwl.gg, 100M+ users (bdut.ch) 🙏 $eggs is life

multivitamins are just in case i'm missing a vitamin (i can probably ditch them)
ag1 has a bunch of antioxidants which is always good (and a bunch of other science mumbo-jumbo)
ashwagandha: healthline.com/nutrition/ashwagandha
l-theanin helps to avoid coffee crash
b12 is necessary for vegans

b6 helps with mood ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9577631 — taking it when i feel down
d3 is necessary for vegans in climates with too few sunny days

toxicology is quite important when talking about supplements and usually we do have studies that prove that something is safe to take — if i don't feel bad when taking a supplement and there are no studies proving harm, i take it freely

for instance, montelukast gave me a small sinus infection so i stopped it

for my learning, are there any longitudinal studies on this stuff that you can link? and has someone made valid counter arguments about considering these as toxins? sorry if lazy ask and should be a Google-able question

giving any answer is just a license for the other person to begin wasting your time

hey they are just doing their job dispensing meds in a chain pharmacy

Maybe I'm too harsh but tbh I'd just respond that if you have to ask why maybe you should not practice medicine

🙏 ty for this lifehack, not sure what "ed" means but i'm going to say it from now on i'm sure it's one of these wildcard noble pharmacy terms

gonna use it in my day-to-day to

"oh i have ee-dee, so i'm taking this this and that"

Just say it’s all for ED and move on with your day

I've cut out supplements I can't quickly and confidently explain to a doctor.
