VITAMINS

Would you pay $12 a year, a mere buck a month, to get supplemental vitamins to compliment your storage foods?  Okay, technically it will be more than that if you take vitamin C in mega-dose amounts which I do and recommend to you, but for a simple single multivitamin it is $12 a year.  Everyone is of course all jiggy with this and after reading this article will all run down to Wal-Mart because this is one of those so cheap insurance policies it would be retarded to pass it up.  The problem with Wal-Mart is that for the last half of a year, every time I look into getting another several bottles for my stockpile, the in stock ones all have the same summer of 2016 expiration date.  The same date as the bottles I bought awhile ago.  It is almost as if Wally buys a crapload of vitamins two years before expiration, then that is the only stock the stores carry until those 200 pill bottles are about 200 days away from the expiration date.  They must save a lot of money doing it that way, because if its one thing you can count on it is Wal-Mart endangering your health while they rip you off.  So, what to do?  Here is my plan for a four year stash of vitamin pills ( to be upgraded yearly so as to always have that amount of time ahead of you.  What?  You can’t spend $13 a year-a 400 pack of generic multi’s-to ensure better health?  Of course you can! ).

First off, this must be complimented by sprouts, both to assure you get whatever vitamins aren’t yet discovered yet you still need and only fresh veggies can deliver them, and because a diet of stored foods blows.  Fresh veggies, even if they aren’t delivering adequate amounts of vitamins, still deliver enzymes only fresh, unprocessed, undead foods can.  The vitamin pills  just make sure you are getting more than enough as a supplement, and the sprouts provide the enzymes your body craves.  Okay, six bottles of Wal-Mart generic multivitamins cost $39.  That is 1200 pills.  During the first two years of ingestion, you are taking a pill every other day.  These are before or just after their expiration date and hence you should be getting close enough to full potency.  For the third and forth year, you go to one day.  This ensures you won’t overdose on fat soluble vitamins-the manufacture formulates them with this in mind to avoid lawsuits, and that even if the potency has been halved by time you should still be getting a bare minimum for better health.  Now, some of these vitamins are 300% of the daily recommended dose.  And these are water soluble so no toxicity issues exist.  But others are only 100%, so if you halve those doses you might be deficient in the dose.  Which is why you need either another vitamin to compliment it ( vitamin C I think being one of the most important- as an aside, note the expiration dates on C are far longer in the future, and I‘m not even sure if ascorbic acid has all that many dating issues.  I have several years of mega-dosage on hand and during the Apocalypse I can slightly cut back on my intake to make them last a decade or so ), but more importantly make sure to take those sprouts requirement seriously.

If you have even more storage food on hand than four years, you had better look around for a better and more expensive multivitamins than Wal-Mart, where you know the expiration is further away.  Still, even at $2 a month for six years, the cost is high but not unreasonable.
