Health benefits, side effects, source and intake of vitamin b1 (thiamine)

Health benefits of vitamin b1 Thiamine is required for metabolic reactions including the breakdown of glucose and amino acid. thiamine helps to prevent complications in the stomach, small and large intestine, heart, muscle, nervous system and brain. Vitamin B1 may involved in and out of electrolyte flow in muscle and nerve cells and helps prevent beriberi , which involves disorders related…

hey strange! So I know you’ve fed your cats the Carna4 brand for a while (correct me if I’m wrong or if thats changed) and I’ve been feeding my cat that brand also for about a year now ever since I got him (he’s 2 yo). He recently had a seizure and we discovered its due to his diet lacking thiamine/B1 vitamins. Bc Carna4 has raw fish in its ingredients it cancels out the vitamins and could leave your cat severely deficient, as mine is, according to the doc and the MRI scan. I thought I should inform you bc this has been terrifying and I don’t wish it on anyone or any cat. Pls feel free to message me if you need more info I’d be happy to share! Also my cat is an orange cat and I know breeds and genetics are a thing so maybe your cats are totally fine but I still thought you should know.

Thank you for sharing this! Wishing your orange boy a full recovery!!

I had no idea this was a thing. I also feed my cats other raw foods and treats with different protein sources but I think after reading this I will diversify their diet even more.

First off, Shirabe Meshi will be taking a break next month for preparations of volume 4's release and will be back on January 12.

Okay so chapter 27, second half

Vanessa ended up knocking the booth onto both herself and Elsa

So that end of the plan was a failure. Meanwhile, Millaarc also gets caught by Maria and Chris

"I haven't done anything yet!"

But no worries, they just end up helping them get the transfusion they needed. Elfnein informs them over a video call that what they thought was impurities in the panacea causing them to need more blood was actually...malnutrition/a vitamin B1 deficiency

Basically since they had been low on money, they had been eating almost nothing but carbohydrates (rice served with no sides, cup noodles, etc) the whole time. Kirika immediately comments that it reminds her of when they were terrorists

Shirabe's class had been running a booth selling fried pork (which is why Kirika was going around in a pig costume, to advertise) and since pork is a source of B1, they take them there and prepare some for them

The poor members of Noble Red eat it like it's the best thing they've ever had in their entire lives

They get another call from Maria's group informing them that they found an illegal gambling ring (where a certain someone had lost big) and since the organized crime group behind it were also dealing in Alca-Noise, they were able to step in and bust them.

So basically Millaarc is off the hook when it comes to paying them back

And with all that out of the way, the girls take Noble Red to enjoy the rest of the festival with them

🌸🌷 7th August 2024

So.. I've also decided to use this blog to post about things I learn out of curiosity in addition to the things that I'm supposed to learn for my medschool homework .

In all honesty, this is just a tactic to be conscious and keep track of the time and things I end up going down internet rabbit holes for .

Yeahh, so for today it turned out to be just Wernicke Korsakoff syndrome..It's caused due to thiamine deficiency that is most commonly seen in chronic alcoholics (and sometimes malnutrition/ cancer)

Thiamine is an enzymatic cofactor that helps the brain produce energy, and when it's deficient, the brain doesn't have enough energy, which can lead to neurotoxicity. This neurotoxicity can cause ophthalmoplegia, along with other symptoms like ataxia and confusion.

I also stumbled upon this very interesting article on the apothecary system of measures :

Aspirin, codeine, and morphine were some of the drugs commonly ordered in grains as opposed to milligrams.2,8 Aspirin dosing is rooted in this history. The standard adult aspirin dose was 5 gr, or 325 mg in metric, the dose still used today for analgesia. Low-dose aspirin was one quarter of the standard dose, 1.25 grains, which converted to 81 mg. This dosing regimen has persisted to modern times. Although the apothecary system of weights and measures is no longer in official use, its impact is still alive whenever physicians prescribe aspirin 81 mg, serving as a connection to the prescribing practices of generations of physicians and pointing to the hidden and untaught history of pharmaceutical weights and measures.

hello finnian 😄 how is your day going so far and what have you been up to what is the latest scoop

Hello Nini! 🥳 It was a pretty good day, thankyouuu very kindly for asking, though I am tireeeeddd... In the morning my brother and I had to take the metro and go alllll the way, to the other side of the capital... I had to deliver a... Thang for work. The post officers would take too long, you understand, and it was quite urgent... The taxes, you see...! The taxes... But it is over with now... Mostly... THANK GOD!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

But, it was fun to walk, and I had the chance to read a fair amount while riding the metro, and its a pretty good book, really, the brothers Karamazov; I'm only on the first volume, which, everyone, INCLUDING the writer in the prologue, says it's fairly boring, and just something one has to go through in order to understand the following volumes, but I am not finding it to be that way at all, so far, no... the characters are all such fun, they really have a way of pulling you right in the room with them, I just love imagining them in my mind, they are all different and real, and they talk about interesting topics, that make you think. Even if I don't always understand them entirely...

Well, after work was done for today, I studied a little about the Vitamins... Did you know? Beriberi is a disease caused by Thiamine, AKA B1 deficiency. Well, symptoms seem to range from mental confusion, to tingling, pain, to strange eye movement, paralysis of the lower legs... 1 million different things. Really... A whole basket of unpleasantness... Just a pain in the ass...

I reallyyyy want to clean my room tomorrow... Maybe I will cut my hair also. Oh, Nini... I really want to cut my hair shorter... It's pissing me off today. But, you see, the one day, I just find it to be so wonderful long... And then, the very next one, it just annnnoyyyys me so terribly. And it goes on like this FOREVER... An endless loop... Really... I will have to think about it seriously...

Well, how is your day going so far? &, Got any epic plans, regarding the foreseeable future? Here, the cicadas are singing night and day, non stop... It's so awesome... Do you have cicadas where you live? I hope all is well and wonderful.

Managing IBS After a Stressful Period and Gallbladder Removal: The Power of Supplements and nature

Living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can be challenging, especially after experiencing a long and stressful period in life, coupled with the removal of the gallbladder. It took me two years to finally start managing the flare ups that have become my daily struggle in the past two years since i had my surgery. However, there is hope in managing IBS symptoms and finding relief. In this blog post, I will explore the benefits of specific supplements, such as omega-3, zinc, B-complex, B1, vitamin D, and magnesium citrate, and how they can help alleviate IBS flare-ups over time.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for overall health and have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. In the context of IBS, omega-3 can help reduce inflammation in the gut, which is often associated with flare-ups. Incorporating omega-3 supplements into your daily routine can potentially improve IBS symptoms, such as abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea. Adding the omega in my supplement routine made a huge difference in my overall health.My gut is happy.

Zinc is a vital mineral that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including digestion and immune system support. Studies have shown that individuals with IBS may have lower zinc levels, which can contribute to worsened symptoms. By supplementing with zinc, you can potentially restore the balance and alleviate IBS-related discomfort. The pharmacist suggested it to me several months ago calling it the supplement of the future. It helps with the healing and inflammation and enhances the benefits the other supplements are providing.

B vitamins, particularly B-complex, are essential for maintaining optimal gut health. These vitamins help convert food into energy, support the nervous system, and aid in the production of healthy red blood cells. When it comes to IBS, B-complex vitamins can help regulate digestion, reduce stress, and improve overall gut function. The one bellow I found to be the best.

B1, also known as thiamine, vitamin B1 is a crucial nutrient that supports the nervous system and helps convert carbohydrates into energy. In the context of IBS, B1 can help alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and digestive issues. By supplementing with B1, individuals may experience improved energy levels and reduced IBS-related discomfort. It is also very effective if you are diagnosed with SIBO.

Vitamin D is not only essential for bone health but also plays a role in immune function and inflammation regulation. Studies have suggested a potential link between vitamin D deficiency and IBS symptoms. By ensuring adequate vitamin D levels through supplementation, individuals may experience reduced inflammation and improved IBS symptoms. My doctor measured my vitaamin D levels which were a bit on the low side and supplemented me with 5000u of vitamin D.

Magnesium is a mineral that plays a vital role in muscle relaxation and nerve function. In the context of IBS, magnesium citrate can help alleviate constipation, a common symptom experienced by individuals with IBS. By promoting regular bowel movements, magnesium citrate can provide relief and improve overall gut function. The Magnesium Citrate is gentle on the stomach lining and thats why this is the one that is recommended.

Digestive enzymes play a crucial role in our overall digestive health. These enzymes are responsible for breaking down the food we eat into smaller, more easily absorbable molecules that our body can utilize for energy and nourishment. Without sufficient digestive enzymes, our body may struggle to properly digest and absorb nutrients, leading to various digestive issues.

Digestive enzymes can help alleviate the symptoms of IBS by aiding in the breakdown of food and improving digestion. They can help break down complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, reducing the strain on the digestive system and minimizing discomfort. Additionally, digestive enzymes can enhance nutrient absorption, ensuring that the body receives the necessary vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients.

There are different types of digestive enzymes, each targeting specific types of food molecules. For example, amylase helps break down carbohydrates, protease aids in protein digestion, and lipase assists in the breakdown of fats. By supplementing with these enzymes, individuals with IBS can support their digestive system and control the flare ups.

In addition to incorporating digestive enzymes there are also benefit from making dietary and lifestyle changes. This may include following a low-FODMAP diet, which eliminates certain types of carbohydrates that can trigger IBS symptoms. Regular exercise, stress management techniques, and adequate hydration are also important for maintaining a healthy digestive system.

In conclusion, digestive enzymes play a vital role in supporting digestive health, and they can be particularly beneficial for individuals with IBS. By aiding in the breakdown of food and improving nutrient absorption, digestive enzymes can help alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being. However, it’s essential to work with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate use and dosage of digestive enzymes, as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for IBS.

Psyllium is a soluble fiber derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement and is known for its ability to promote regular bowel movements and relieve constipation. In the context of IBS, psyllium can help regulate bowel movements, reduce diarrhea, and alleviate abdominal discomfort. The fiber in psyllium absorbs water in the intestines, adding bulk to the stool and promoting healthy digestion. Additionally, psyllium can help regulate gut motility and improve overall gut health, which can be beneficial for individuals with IBS.

Managing IBS after a long stressful period and gallbladder removal can be challenging, but incorporating specific supplements into your daily routine can make a significant difference. Omega-3, zinc, B-complex, B1, vitamin D, and magnesium citrate all offer potential benefits in alleviating IBS symptoms over time. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen to ensure it is safe and suitable for your individual needs. Remember, finding relief from IBS is a journey, and with the right approach, you can regain control of your digestive health and improve your overall well-being.

Remember, managing IBS requires a comprehensive approach that may include dietary modifications, stress management, and other lifestyle changes in addition to potential supplements or treatments.

Good luck.🪷

i’ve been turning 2x6 over and over in my head over the past few days and i know it’s not what some people were expecting; the horror could’ve been grislier, more disturbing. but that’s when it hit me: despite all the Supernatural Wilderness Bullshit going on, there’s also the horror of real life. the God Of That Place and the One With No Eyes and Dead Cabin Guy may be threats, but so is the cold. so is their malnourishment.

there are a whole host of complications that come with vitamin deficiencies. aside from the obvious symptoms of weight loss, mental haze and confusion, various vitamin deficiencies can cause muscle and heart weakness (B1), anemia and hair loss (B5), and good old fashioned scurvy (C). shauna absolutely wasn’t getting enough folic acid (B9) which is essential to ensuring the growing baby’s brain, skull, and spinal cord develop correctly. if the baby had survived, he may have had spinal bifida or another neural tube defect.

in my opinion, the fact that shauna’s loss is grounded in reality makes it even more tragic. the wilderness might slowly be driving the team mad, but real life is just as fucked up as any supernatural element the show may have to offer.

guide to vegan vitamin b 12

Vitamin B12 deficiency is a topic that comes up often when people talk about veganism. But it is quite easy to maintain a healthy level of Vitamin B12 on a plant – based diet.

This is often due to limited dietary intake, malabsorption, medical conditions, or the use of B12-depleting medications.

Vitamin B12 is the by-product of bacterial activity - a process that only takes place in the digestive system of animals.  Therefore, the nutrient is not found in plant-based foods. The only reliable sources of vitamin B12 on a plant-based diet are fortified foods and drinks or supplements.

signs and symptoms of vitamin b 12 deficiency

1. Fatigue

2. Pale or yellow skin

3.Headaches

4. A greater risk of developing depression

5. Pale or yellow skin

6. Gastrointestinal issues 

7. Difficulty concentrating and mental impairment

8. Pain and inflammation of the mouth and tongue 

 9. The corners of the mouth are split.

Good Solid Advice About Vitamins And Minerals That Anyone Can Use

Success in health is something elusive to many. They may start to eat a cleaner diet and even work out a few times per week, but they never feel they've achieved optimal health. What they are missing is vitamins and minerals, and the following tips and tricks should help you learn about this topic.

Thiamine, or vitamin B1, deficiency can cause neurological and psychiatric symptoms. These symptoms can include weight loss, weakness, irregular heart rate and psychosis. A vitamin B complex can ensure you receive the vitamin B1 you need, or you can eat pork, brown rice, liver, oatmeal, leafy vegetables, eggs and potatoes.

Never ignore the product warnings on vitamin levels. Vitamin and supplements can have serious side effects when taken with prescription and over the counter medicines. Ginseng can be very dangerous if you have high blood pressure or take heart medications. Lycopene can be deadly if you have a tomato allergy. Always read the warning labels or ask your pharmacist or doctor before taking any vitamins or supplements.

Two of the best sources for vitamin D are exposure to the sun and milk. If you are not a big milk drinker or do not spend a lot of time in the sun, you should take a supplement with vitamin D. Vitamin D protects your bones and keeps them from becoming brittle.

Although all vitamins and minerals are important, some are even more important for growing children. When planning your child's diet, make sure they are getting enough vitamins A, C and D, as well as the B vitamins. Calcium and iron are also very important for your growing children's bodies.

Magnesium is necessary for over 300 chemical reactions in the body. Foods high in fiber contain magnesium, including legumes, vegetables, nuts and whole grains. This mineral is used to treat high cholesterol, ADHD, fatigue, migraines, PMS and multiple sclerosis. Magnesium can also be applied topically to speed up healing.

As stated in the above article, taking vitamins and minerals is an important part of anyone's life who wants to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Now that you read some good tips about this subject there is no reason for you not to start on a healthier path. Keep at it and remember how important it is for your life to be healthy.

●Malnutrition results from sustained, heavy alcohol use, including what was described as alcohol dependence in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, fourth edition (DSM-IV). The diagnoses, alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence, were replaced by one diagnosis, alcohol use disorder, in DSM-5. Although the crosswalk between DSM-IV and DSM-5 disorders is imprecise, alcohol dependence is approximately comparable to the moderate to severe subtype of alcohol use disorder.

●Sustained, heavy alcohol use, without liver disease, is associated with a range of macro- and micronutrient deficiencies. Adults with such intake are more likely to lose weight due to metabolic changes associated with excess alcohol intake. Alcohol causes malnutrition through effects on dietary intake, absorption, digestion, and resting energy expenditure. Malnutrition is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

●All individuals with a moderate to severe alcohol use disorder need to have a complete nutritional assessment. The primary care physician can initiate the evaluation with a focused history, physical examination looking for signs of malnutrition, and supplemented with laboratory findings. We ask about weight loss, fatigue, decrease in muscle strength, edema, gastrointestinal symptoms, and dietary history. On physical examination, findings that support malnutrition include weight loss, decreased body mass index, muscle mass, and subcutaneous fat. Although laboratory findings are not required for diagnosis of malnutrition, they contribute to the assessment. Thus, we typically evaluate patients with the disorder with the following studies: complete blood count, liver function tests, international normalized ratio, albumin, full electrolyte panel, and serum folate and vitamin B12. Nutritional consultation is appropriate for patients at higher risk for micronutrient deficiencies and malnutrition, especially those whose alcohol intake exceeds 30 percent of their total caloric intake.

●In adults with sustained, heavy alcohol use, the most common micronutrient deficiencies are deficiencies of thiamine (vitamin B1), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and folate.

Heavy alcohol use is considered to be more than four drinks per day or more than 14 drinks per week for men and more than three drinks per day or more than seven drinks per week for women. For adults with an alcohol use disorder or heavy alcohol use, we recommend supplementation with a multivitamin that contains a minimum of thiamine 100 mg daily, vitamin B6 2 mg daily, and folic acid 400 mcg to 1 mg daily.

“Is Your Diet A Thief?” Kingston Whig-Standard. February 15, 1933. Page 10, --- Is Deficiency The Robber Stealing Your Strength Vigor and Resistance? --- A diet deficient in certain elements that the human body needs is a thief no less than a hold-up man is a thief For example a diet deficient in Vitamin A robs the body of vigor lowers resistance and makes you more susceptible to catching cold and to other germ diseases.

Chronic fatigue, lack of appetite, unsatisfactory bowel movements, are often symptoms of a deficiency in Vitamin B1.

Underweight in children is frequently caused by a deficiency in B1.

Nutritional anaemia, so common today, is due to a deficiency in iron. 

These are only a few examples of the results of deficiencies in diet. But more important to you is the fact that a new product called VIP has been developed after long patient and expensive research to bring to you an increased supply of vital elements in which the ordinary diet is frequently deficient. 

Science Turns To "Life Cells” To Overcome Dietary Robberies To secure the needed elements scientists went to one of the richest known source of Vitamins, Proteins, and Minerals— the life cells of wheat. A life cell, while only a tiny one-hundredth part of a grain of wheat, is its most vital part. It is the embryo from which life springs and which causes the wheat plant to grow. This life cell however has one defect that has restricted its use. When separated from the grain of wheat, it deteriorates, becoming rancid and disagreeable to the taste. This is the reason why it is discarded when milling white flour.

In order to use these life cells of wheat,  a special process has been devised that overcomes this defect without destroying or impairing the nutritional value or vitamin content. The manufacturers of VIP are the sole owners of this special patented process. 

With these specially processed life cells of wheat are combined cocoa and malt, and an easily-assimilable form of iron, to produce a delightful nut-like food drink packed with vital nutritive elements. 

VIP Increases Your Vitamin Supplies Because of these life cells of wheat, VIP brings to you an increased supply of Vitamin A so necessary to maintain the health of eyes, air passages, lungs, the bladder, and the skin and to maintain bodily vigor and resistance to disease. VIP also brings you a much increased supply of Vitamin B1 which has been proved to have a stimulating effect upon the appetite to invigorate the intestinal tract and to aid digestion. 

A third valuable Vitamin in the life cells is Vitamin B which has a beneficial effect on the nerves and digestive organs, while a fourth Vitamin, the life-producing reproductive Vitamin E, without which human life would cease, is richly concentrated in the life cells of wheat.

Children Gain Weight Research has conclusively proven that Vitamin B1 so richly stored in the wheat life cells, is vitally necessary for children. An adequate supply increase! their rate of growth and weight. 

Supplies Energy Builders and your Daily Needs of Iron In addition to Vitamins VIP brings to you an increased supply of energy-pro-during proteins and minerals stored in the life cells. These have bean amplified with an additional supply of iron for the purpose of enriching the blood and preventing nutritional  anaemia. Two teaspoonfuls and preventing nutrition teaspoonfuls of VIP supply 12 milligrams of iron needed by the blood daily.

Add VIP to Your Dally Diet If you are rundown, nervous, lack of strength and vigor if you have intestinal and digestive disorders as a result of deficiencies in your diet, you cannot start too soon to add VIP to your diet. Even if you are in good health today a deficiency of Vitamins and Iron if continued is bound to store up future trouble for you "Deficiency the Robber” is no less a menace than a "hold up” man.

Delicious Hot or Cold— A Distinctive-Nut-Like Flavor You'll like your first cup of VIP and your children will drink it eagerly VIP is easy to make Just stir two rounded teaspoonfuls into a glass of hot or cold milk until adding sugar if desired.

While it is a delirious drink HOT or COLD at any time the greatest benefit to you will come from die steady daily use to offset the work of "Deficiency the Robber.”

 Obtainable from Druggists VIP (Vitamins + Iron + Proteins) is obtainable from druggists and department stores in two sizes...

Psychological symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Further testing recommended.

Ema hates this.

She was supposed to feel better once she got away. That was supposed to fix it. Getting away was so so hard, and it's not even over?

Ema hates this.

"It's not so bad." Tom says. "It could be worse."

That's not very helpful. "Neurological damage doesn't go away. I'm going to have this for the rest of my life."

"Well... yeah, but now we know. I should've noticed earlier, it was obvious. I can't believe I didn't notice..."

Tom sounds annoyed. Ema tucks her knees under her chin.

"It'll get better. I think it would help to do some physical therapy. And psychological therapy. And the vitamin and mineral deficiencies, that's easy! I mean it sucks that we didn't know before, but we know now. Oh, we should also take you to a dentist. What's wrong?"

Ema is ineffectively trying to blink back tears. "I thought I was going to be okay. I thought it was over." "But this is good! These things were wrong before, but now that we know about them we can fix them or make them better. Wouldn't it be worse if all those symptoms of deficiencies and damage and stuff were just how things were going to be for the rest of your life?"

Ema hates this. "I don't- I can't-" She takes a shuddering breath, afraid she'll start crying if she tries to talk more.

"It's okay. You're okay. I really think you should see a therapist though. I... don't know what to say to help you feel better."

Ema grips her hair tightly. She hates this, she hates this so much. "I don't want to go to therapy! I don't want to talk about it! I want it to be over!"

"I- I don't know- Ema, it's okay."

Ema is sobbing in earnest and Tom is getting annoyed with her. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"You didn't do anything wrong. I just- I'm not good at this!"

He's mad at her he's mad at her-

"I- I think I'm making this worse, so I'm going to- to go. And then when you're feeling better we can talk about how I can, like, help you the next time you feel this way, okay?"

Tom waits for her to answer, but leaves when she doesn't, and Ema doesn't stop him. He's just in the other room, but it does help Ema feel better, which makes her feel a bit guilty. It's just easier when she can focus on calming herself down instead of trying to calm Tom down.

She feels so pathetic. She's been crying more since she escaped than she ever did in captivity.

Tap tap tap. Tap tap tap. Tap tap tap.

She's safe. She's okay. And Tom is right, now she knows some ways to feel better. She shouldn't feel this way.

When Ema's crying has slowed to only an occasional sniffle, Tom comes back.

"Are you okay? Are you- did that help? It seems like it helped, for me to leave, but I felt really bad for just... leaving you, while you were upset."

"It helped. I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Tom doesn't sound annoyed. Just... sad.

"I... don't think there's anything you can do, if that happens again. I don't know why I started crying. Everything you said was right."

"Well, someone can be right and still be a dick."

"You weren't being a dick."

Tom is quiet for a moment. "You started crying when I brought up therapy. Should I... not bring that up?"

"No, you can bring it up. I don't know why it freaked me out."

"You said you don't want to talk about what happened. Does the idea of therapy make you feel stressed? You don't have to talk about the past at all with a therapist if you don't want to. I mean, you probably will eventually, but not until you feel comfortable with it. A good therapist will respect your wishes." Tap tap tap. "I don't know. I guess. I just want it to be over. I want to never think about it again."

"I... don't think that's possible."

Ema buries her face in her hands and sobs.

"Would it help if I touched you? Like, gave you a hug or something. Or would you rather not be touched?"

"Please don't touch me."

"Okay. So I know some things that don't help now, at least. Um... so, do you want to try therapy? Helping people find therapists is something I'm good at. You wouldn't have to talk about anything you didn't want to. And hey, I'm not a therapist, maybe I'm wrong that you'll have to think about it. Maybe a therapist can teach you how to not think about it. I don't know."

"I think... I've been emotional because of the deficiencies. I want to try getting more of those vitamins and stuff in, and maybe try physical therapy, and then see how I feel."

"I think you're going to need therapy no matter what. You've been through a lot."

Ema starts to tear up again.

"But... it can wait. I don't like to put these things off, but... this isn't about me. I don't know a lot about therapy, but I know that it doesn't work very well if you feel forced into it."

"...Thank you."

"Do you want help making a meal plan? To get the vitamins you need in? And I can look into what supplements you should be taking, that stuff's all unregulated so I don't think you just grab the first thing that says vitamin supplement, y'know?"

That... sounds nice. Not having to do it herself sounds nice. "I would like that."
