they sell this shit right next to actual OTC medication for a bit less so if you don't look close enough you might end up buying it

my dad hurt his back and we were out looking for something to help him feel better; on the shelf they had homeopathic "back pain relief" for $12. $12 for fucking sugar pills!

fuck big pharma but at least drugs usually work

      Actual vitamin supplements are fine, usually. At least I've found. Still have to read the label carefully to make sure I'm actually getting my 5000 iu of D3.

      Well, either my doctor's a quack or there's something to it. I've been straight up prescribed Vitamin D and E before for various conditions. But the dosage is significantly higher than anything you'd get in a standard multi-vitamin. And you're not supposed to take them every day indefinitely.
