Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

Americans are known for having the world's most expensive urine due to the many supplements we take on a regular basis. Since going paleo, I have drastically cut down on my vitamin and mineral supplements due to not needing them with such an improved diet.

Just curious on here, what about other people. So the question is what supplements are you taking? how much do they cost per day? and why are you taking them? Please try to answer all questions.

So I take glucosomine and chondroitin for some hip issues I have had for 20 yrs. It seems to help, in that whenever in the past I have stopped for a while, it bothered me more. Cost $.10 per day

I also take 2g of EPA and DHA Fish oil per day. $.40 per day

As an average for the year I take 5000 IU of D3 every other day. I get lots of sunshine and take more D3 in the winter, less in the summer. Cost $.06

Total cost of supplements $.56 per day.

	"I take glucosomine and chondroitin" You're wasting money on these. Make bone broth instead. – raydawg Jul 19 at 22:36
	I am wasting 10 cents per day on these? Given my experience with my osteoarthritis in my right femur, it is money well spent. You are entitled to your opinion, but it works for me. Might not for everyone. – RaiseFitness Jul 19 at 23:27

How expensive is your pee? Ask yourself how much protein you're overeating.

I take 5000 IU vitamin D and sometime magnesium citrate (Natural Calm) at night. Everything else comes from what I eat.

I could cut both out by spending more time in the sun and upping my greens. Need to do so. Maybe a warm epsom salt bath at night if I'm feeling tense.
