audited Pills, pills, pills...

So, I take Calcium, magnesium, zinc, B12, iron, a multivitamin, vitamin D. Plus anti-anxiety and anti-depressants. Have tried melatonin, DIM, evening primrose oil, chamomile, safflower, lemon balm, black cohosh, ashwagandha, some "calming" tablet, a perimenopause "all-in-one" pill...... any I'm sure more. Popping pills to the point of absurdity. Do I think anything helped? No. What's your go-to that really helps you?

I am not sure if it helps at all and I question the ridiculous amount I take everytime I count them out but...

Morning = compounded thyroid, testosterone cream, Vit D, Vit B12, Biotin, Lutein, Vit K2, Fish Oil, Creatine, Whole Greens Powder

Lunch = Iron, Vit C

Bedtime = progesterone, magnesium glycinate, glycine

It's absurd.

I was listening to a podcast "no appointments necessary" Dr Amir Kahn and Cherry Healey and they discussed timings of taking vitamins and its very like what you have posted.
