Oh woops I didn't even think of that... I checked the label of his Centrum Men 50+ and it has 300ug of folic acid. So he's actually been on a higher daily dose than I realised! Shall I wean him off the extra folic acid or add on the 400mg Folate instead? I don't mind him taking extra (look at me speaking for him, haha) if it gives us a better chance. Folate and folic acid are both on the cheaper end anyway
Also I was looking at new Carnitine tablets (can you tell I'm on a supplement-buying rampage?!) and was wondering if this one looked any good? I've copied out nutritional info:
Vit D3 - 400iu
Riboflavin (Vit B2) - 0.7mg
Niacin (Vit B3) - 8mg
Vit B6 - 0.7mg
Biotin - 25ug
Chromium - 40ug
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate - 1100mg
The link is: https://www.amazon.co.uk/L-Carnitine...NsaWNrPXRydWU=
Just wanted to ask as I remember you advising others to avoid anything with too much of other stuff in it... and this is a wee bit over the 1000mg a day he's been taking xx

I would just wean him off of it. Men don't need the additional folic acid/folate since they won't be pregnant.
No that's all fine. The other stuff is a pretty low dose, so adding onto his normal vitamin is not a big deal.

My pleasure I hope you’re doing well Atomic - I just had one more question about breakfast/food. I’m currently eating 3 spoons of oat bran + 2 spoons of oats with full fat milk, plus nuts, plus fruit, for breakfast. Is this boy friendly? It’s certainly very filling but I realised I never read anything about oat bran before on here…
Thanks ✨ xx

Oat bran is quite high in fiber, which can absorb nutrients. I'd probably just go with the oats alone, but I doubt it really causes any harm

Hey Atomic, I hope you’re well. Unfortunately I have a sinus infection I can’t taste or smell a thing! Which is making eating more really really difficult (I currently have zero appetite- at any other time this would be a great way to lose some weight!).
I’ve requested a course of antibiotics from my doctors and wondering if this will mess with my sway at all? And if so, what I could do to combat it?
I’m so annoyed this has happened and it’s definitely led to me eating less / not having my snacks, but I’m still trying to mix protein and carbs as often as I can…
Should have kept washing my hands 🤦🏻*♀️
Thanks 😊 xx

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
