I was listening to this earlier today, all about vitamin D:

Some of these 'advisors' and 'specialists' are taking seemingly huge quantities of VitD supplements  eeek: . I don't take any, of any sort vitamin wise.  How about you lot?

I only take these as I am conscious that my diet desperately lacks certain essential oils ( obviously all fish related !! )

I've always suffered from stomach problems (including the size) for years. A few years ago I started taking actimel drink, and like Darwin, if I miss a couple of days, I notice the difference

What ~ Like the sports supplements that give Saturday's results and match reports?
Print them during the week do they ~ that explains why my horses never win ~ it's all fixed during the week before the races. ::)

Something I remembered from the prog referred to ...
