Dad-gummy-it!
Somebody help me with interpreting the math on this?
Does this mean you should slice the gummies into thirds before ingesting one or two of each one-third and repeat the dose three times during the day?
Surely they’re not recommending 6 gummies a day, with each one giving 50% of your RDA of B vitamins?
@kyanostiger@mjc94ma@phendrick I thought I saw somewhere that some version I’of B is a potent cancer accelerator. Not commonly found in most.
That website is interesting. I would like to point out that RDA is really mostly “what’s the bare minimum to avoid disease” and has its issues. There are other controversial aspects to it. Medicine is more art than science despite what some want you to believe. A lot of what passes as hard fact truly is just best guess/expert opinion with some research thrown in for good measure. Better than nothing though. Other good supplement websites include https://examine.com/ and https://naturalmedicines.therapeuticresearch.com/
@thechinglish If they said “made with ingredients that you can identify”, It would make more sense. I can pronounce lots of things that I can’t really tell you much about. I have no idea what dimethylsiloxane does.
@lisagd@thechinglish totally takes me back, when commercials had jingles and were funny or cute, and not every one was for some drug with ghastly side effects
@hockeybum@thechinglish My brother and I had a running joke where some now-long-forgotten thing would be met with “That’s polysorbate 80, Johnny,” said in an announcer’s voice. We thought it was terribly funny, but it was probably just terrible.
@phendrick@tweezak basically , some people have deficiencies because of diet or lifestyle or they have the MTHFR gene mutation which impairs the body’s ability to convert folates to useable folate’s and causes high homocysteine levels .
Which causes a bunch of issues with memory, brains, mood, heart stuff. At least that’s one of the theories .
This form of folate is the cheap stuff. You want L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate.
@phendrick I see a neurologist and mentioned how I felt my memory was getting worse. He suggested Metafolbic as a possible help. I stopped taking it because I didn’t want to pay for the prescription or have to see him again to get a refill. I determined it was basically folic acid and started taking that. Honestly, neither did anything noticeable for me.
What did help was reducing my stress level. As soon as I graduated college (EE) I felt like a new man. I never slept so well. Whether my memory getting better was due to getting more quality sleep or less stress or both, it definitely improved and had nothing to do with folic acid.
These things taste disgusting IMHO, and as you would also expect, they do nothing for your digestion or diet. Albi gummi bears are better candy, and there are several fiber gummies that actually help your GI system.
I’m suspicious that these are expired, or very close to expiration, bringing up the question of whether we would just be able to use one or two jars before the rest turned into, basically, gravel for my driveway?

Would the singular of Goli be Golum or Gollum?
Herpetologic oleate alert level 4…
@werehatrack Took me a few seconds to get it- hilarious! I am so stealing this…
But I like the taste of vinegar.
@awk I bet casemates could probably hook you up with some old wine
@sixsmith Sounds like a possible new business plan … is aciddrop.com available?
I’ll give it a try

@phendrick Bottle says “1-2 gummies, 3 times daily (enjoy up to 6 gummies a day).”
@phendrick the label on the bottle states: “1-2 gummies, 3 times daily. (Enjoy up to 6 gummies per day!)”
@kyanostiger @mjc94ma
Yep. And I also noticed they said
180 ct is a 30-day supply.
I found a handy summary chart listing vitamin requirements and also upper limits, arranged by consumer’s age group:

@kyanostiger @mjc94ma @phendrick @qazxto For that matter, insulin is an accelerator for many cancers.
“Made with ingredients you can pronounce”
How fucking illiterate are people
@thechinglish I always wonder that myself. I mean, some people can’t even get punctuation right.
@thechinglish If they said “made with ingredients that you can identify”, It would make more sense. I can pronounce lots of things that I can’t really tell you much about. I have no idea what dimethylsiloxane does.
@thechinglish Anybody remember this ad?

If they claim to do everything, they probably don’t do anything.
i love dietary supplement with the mother
There are claims that folic acid helps your memory
@tweezak Do you remember where you saw that?
@phendrick @tweezak Maybe help your memory get gummed up?

“Are they Mac compatible: Yeah, didn’t you read the product name? They’re apple!” But has vinegar, so also good for Windows!
@danexton Just don’t mix your vinegar-based Windows cleaner with ammonia-based Windows cleaner.
@danexton Nice snark on the label!

“Does nothing” is NOT the worst case scenario.

@aolshove from the product details:
So I think you won’t have to worry about that
I’ll just put my money directly in the toilet and skip the middlemen.
@Cappomutato
Well… my wife buys these and spends a lot more direct from Goli, so whether they work or not, this should save me some money.
/giphy eligible-low-wound
LOL! This giphy definitely wouldn’t save me any money. So inappropriate. Hilarious.
