how many pills do you take a day?

[D-Bo Dre]

There is no answer.. Or rather the answer is subjective/relative.

'too many' may be at the point where it causes a gastric problem..etc.

The set point at which this occurs would differ from individual to inidividual.

I've only known one individual who had a problem from ingesting too many pills. He got stomach ulceration or something to that effect.

The number of pills he was popping was 'low' imo.. at least it would've been 'low' to me.

That's what i mean by the amount being relative to the individual.

Or did i overshoot?

Its Subjectivity in this aspect however may be with reference to the mg/gr/IU amounts the individual consumes..whereas, 'too much'/'too many' would be with reference to the relative (or combined) toxicity of the compounds.

That was a very "Socrates" like response Nark..
No, I got your point.. However, I believe if you can supplement yourself with natural, whole foods (such as milk for calcium, bananas for potassium) can be more beneficial then inhaling hundreds of pills a day. Does anybody remember that movie where they ate their meals in pill form (steak and potatoes in one pill and chicken and rice in another) I think Silvester Stalone was in it.. It was set in the future.. funny stuff. I cant imagine living like that, I have to chew!!

30 pills a day are bad for you.. Even though it they arent toxic.. Your live has to work overtime to break down a pill.. But 30 a day.. is too much

*cough* Bullshit *cough*

Last i checked... when you ingest a compound it goes to the stomach... unless your primary digestive organ is your liver (can you guys say 'alien'? )

Liver/Kidneys are the body's filtration system.. i.e. they filter out toxins... Toxins and perceived toxins.

To say that 30+ tabs are any harder on the system than 8 ounces of beef (which i'm sure most of consume...and more.. ) is simply wrong...Moreso than just wrong..it's a generic blanket statement.

Also..remember that vitamins don't generate toxins when broken down..as there's nothing in there but the active compound..and maybe a binder. Food..the thermic effect... assimilation... calorie burning etc. .. generates free radical ;amonia-based compounds..etc.: toxins.

Show me a tab which takes longer to break down than a meat protein source... and i'll show you a flying pig.

Ritalin Pills...

I supplement alot of vits/minerals..

1 multi
1 vit c
1 vit e
1 fish oil (epa/dha)
1 zinc
1 chromium
1 magnesium
1 b6
and 1 melatonin to sleep.

and some stimulants.. different depending on the day but generally 1 modafinil, and 2-3 caffeine or ephedrine.. So that makes 12.

Saying the number of pills doesnt make alot of sense to me though.. what really matters is the amount of vitamin/mineral you are getting as too much of some may cause very high toxicity (vit a, iron..)..
