Count ‘em.
Twelve pills I’ve just had. It’s ridiculous.
Between the Nurofen (oww!-ey back), Beechams (a cold is determined to bring me down, I can feel it forming), 5-Hydroxytryptophan (my SAD syndrome kicked in majorly two weeks ago and really left me feeling utterly depressed until I started taking it again), Conjugated Linoleic Acid (fat burner), Milk-thistle and Artichoke (system cleansing) and Fibre-sure (well, guess) it’s a wonder, frankly, I don’t rattle when I walk.
It’s a slippery slope, this supplements lark, I tell you.

Yeah, it works – although it’s a subtle slow thing. You have to take it for about three months in conjunction with a gym routine though so you may find a Christmas deadline is a tad tight!
My milk-thistle (from Healthspan) says nothing of the sort I have to say. But I have only been taking it a week anyway so I’m not too worried.

You should probably try St John’s Wort for the SAD. It’s pretty effective.
Coudn’t you just take huge quantities of Conjugated Linoleic Acid and then look at a scary picture? http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/lookaroundyou/programmes/food/picture3.shtml
Then it’s just that wiping off with a towel.

Got something to say?
Does CLA work? If I mix it with the gym, will I save myself having to buy yet another new Christmas party outfit (the 4th this year?)..
And I always thought you were only supposed to do milk-thistle for 2 weeks then have a break? Or was the Holland and Barrett label lying to me?
