Coffee anyone ?

Vit C= Orange juice or whatever. A good one for general health and immune boost. Vit D3 is usually good to take in the winter because of lack of sunshine. I take it because even if it's nice out I'm wearing long sleeves. It also helps the body absorb other nutrients like calcium. That is why they add it to Milk. Today you can get Orange juice with calcium and vit d.
I get the OJ because I'm lactose intollerant.

Ah, ok thank you! And is D3 different than just D? I’ve heard of just plain vitamin D, but not D3.

 

[CLSranch]

yes kinda. The exact difference I will leave to someone more educated than me.

If you go to the store and get Vit D it will likely be D3. Now the B vitamins, there are a ton of those!

I found this with Google:
"You may wonder why doctors prescribe vitamin D2 instead of D3, if vitamin D3 appears to be more potent than vitamin D2. ... Vitamin D2 is indicated to treat calcium disorders and parathyroid disorders. It is also the preferred form for patients with chronic kidney disease."


A daily vitamin won't hurt and could help if your diet isn't well balanced. I don't do those but I do take Vit D daily. Told to by my doctor 10 years ago when my levels came back low. Pretty surprising since we bought this place a year earlier and I had spent a LOT of time outside all summer working on stuff.

I also have very low Vit D levels and am outside in the sunshine ALOT in the summer.... and I am low all year round too. Crazy how it seems we do not absorb what we need.
The human body does not manufacture Vit C and it is water soluble so is excreted daily. Therefore we have to get it from food or from supplements. It is a great way to improve immune defenses and works with other vitamins to improve absorption also. You get synergistic effects with Zinc when you take both, for immune response.

*I just have to say, maybe make sure your doctor or lactation consultant is okay with bumper doses of vitamins while feeding delicate premie twins.

I often legitimately forget they are premature. Thank you for the reminder. Good tip.

My perfume was frozen this morning. It was sitting by the window and it froze . $120 bottle just froze.

My ex husband psycho sperm donor to my children, and I moved into his grandparents old, drafty and cold house. There was a jug of antifreeze by the toilet because it froze one night and busted the toilet bowl. Pa and Granny poured antifreeze in the toilet on freezing nights.

I'm not even the one who dubbed him with that. My daughter has those honors.

I was showing a young man from south TX the basics of staying in a camper up north (NE in this case). Always keep a bottle of antifreeze/RV antifreeze/ windshield de-icer in the camper. You can leave the water running and heat trace the hose but that doesn't stop the drain hose from freezing.
I learned that when the drain froze, it filled up the storage tank, then the bath tub and ran down the camper to the door and froze the door shut. I now heat trace my drain hose as well.

No sperm donor involved.
