I take 9 vitamins a day and no prescription drugs and I’m 71. Wife’s the same way. Not saying the vitamins help but we’re rarely sick, don’t do vaccines anymore and never did the COVID crap and as far as we know we never had it.

Aches and pains are a bxtch..on a heating pad now 🤣 but we exercise regularly and walk a lot. I played basketball with the 15yo grandson yesterday....played 21. I lost 21 to 16. He thought he was going to kick my azz. I was up 16 to 15 but age kicked in and I was worn out. Probably a 3 to 4 week recovery period but worth it.

Amen..... amen

When I began taking B12 It was an amazing transformation to normal from old.

I take large doses of D3, C, B12. I take a mixed vitamin and mineral supplement containing iron. My doctor prescribed a large dose of D2.

Mostly, the D2 excepted, vitamins are cheap. The cost to benefits is trivial.

I cannot exaggerate the actual benefits for an octogenarian resulting from the vitamins

Do you take any fish oil? I am older than you and basically have no pains (yes, I exercise, garden, etc).

Me too.

I am 78, have never taken prescription drugs except rarely for antibiotics for infection.

I find that I need sublingual B12, B6, Potassium.

My Doctors visits generally only happen after 1-2-or 3 years.

Lately I have been supplemented with tablespoon of honey with teaspoon of (real thing) cinnamon. My memory improves with that. (my Random Access Memory, smile) Actually my memory on a lot of things are still very good, but I occasionally have a moment of fog with recall.
