Question 1

i have purchased protien supplement and use it for 2 to 3 days only after that it is just putted 4 months but has expiry of 1 year can i use it still?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is still usable.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 2

i need to know what is a good vitamin or supplement to purchase?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Unfortunately, your question is a bit too vague to give specific recommendations.  Are you referring to a specific condition?  For athletic performance?  I do believe nearly everyone will benefit from a high quality multivitamin/multimineral supplement.

Question 3

i have been having issues gaining weight i purchased this supplement mason natural amino complex 6000 can it help me gain weight.

Accepted Answer

Maybe: It will help build muscle mass, IF you also exercise properly.

Question 4

what is the best over-the-counter diet supplement i can purchase w/o a prescrition?

Accepted Answer

Diet Pills: None. Not one diet pill on the market will lead you to real or lasting weight loss. These 'fraudulent' products are designed purely to take money from the gullible.

Question 5

i just purchased the pre-workout supplement "c4 extreme" and i was wondering if it has any side effects that i should be aware of? thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

Yes side effects: Read huffington post article about high school athletes requiring surgery for compartment syndrome.  Look at ingredients of C4 extreme,  if you do not understand the ingredients then avoid them.  Make sure your parents aware of this supplement and ask if any family members have high blood pressure or sudden death.  Please avoid taking this supplement.

Question 6

what is an actual supplement that can be purchased at walmart walgreens or cvs that actually works and burns fat not a supplement to help lose weight but something that actually burns fat?

Accepted Answer

Careful: Losing weight is much more than taking a supplement. Would suggest attention being moved to burning energy rather than taking something. Diet and exercise remain critical. No supplement has ever been proven to do it otherwise.

Question 7

i purchased a multi-vitamin from the grocery store and noticed that it didn't have a usp certification. i know vitamins and supplements aren't regulated by the fda. what are the possible risks associated with taking an uncertified multi-vitamin supplement

Accepted Answer

Likely none : Many vitamins and supplements out there do not have approval. I would not be overly concerned.

Question 8

can you please discuss the other methods of purchasing tuna besides canned?

Accepted Answer

Fresh is the best.: Fresh tuna or frozen.
Avoid canned tuna because of aluminium content in it & assocation with dementia.

Question 9

our summers can get really hot only a few days of the year, should we consider purchasing an ac?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It really depends on how uncomfortable you will feel.  Do you have access to a pool or lake?

Question 10

are there limits on purchasing some medicines?

Accepted Answer

Prescription: Prescription medications are limited by the quantity listed on the prescription written by the prescribing physician. I don't believe there is any legal limit on the quantity of nonprescription medications. Your pharmacist can answer this question for you.
