She takes some 45 supplements daily, and says mostly they’re good for her health. –W Magazine
Let’s face it, if we were all as rich as Hilary Swank we’d all take 45 vitamins and supplements a day. The only thing that keeps me from taking more than 45 vitamins and supplements a day is my budget. All those pretty little pills are expensive.
Cele|bitchy wonders what else they might be good for. But as a long time user of many different vitamins, minerals, and supplements, I can say that mood might be one other factor in the use of 45 supplements a day. Bee Pollen and Royal Jelly can certainly give you a buzz. Phosphatidylserine can help you remember your lines. Just plain old B vitamins can make you feel a world better when you are tired.
Of course, Hilary Swank’s 45 vitamins and supplements could be anything.
There are literally hundreds of bottle on health food store shelves, with everything from kelp and apple cider vinegar to exotic compounds the average person can’t even pronounce. Amazon has over 120,000 vitamins and supplements listed. They all claim to heal or help something, and the amazing this is that many of do work. Or is that what they call the placebo effect?
Expo Say seems to think that Hilary Swank taking 45 vitamins and supplements a day makes her obsessed with them. But I am not so sure about that. But then, taking the 45 vitamins and supplements is just part of the process, there is the study involved in deciding which vitamins and supplements to take. But then, Hilary Swank is rich and I feel sure that she has someone on her staff that tells her which pills to pop.
“I just took my most important ones, which are my Oz Garcia Longevity Pak. I shoved them in my mouth right before I met you, which I actually shouldn’t do, because I choked on my vitamins once before.” Hilary Swank said in W magazine. Well, that is a pretty cool quote. I have been guilty of just taking my most important pills and shoving them in my as well. And it is certainly possible to gag on a handful of pills. Better to slow down and take them a few at a time. Most of them are best taken after a meal, with a tall glass of water.
Hilary Swank says about some of her 45 vitamins and supplements: “This is my Aloe C, which I dissolve in water. Here’s my flax. This one’s for my immune system, and this one is my BrainWave — it’s great, like if I have a lot of lines to memorize.”
If Aloe C (one months worth about $20) and BrainWave (two month supple $65) help make Hilary Swank look like Hilary Swank, then I predict that they will start flying off the shelves pretty soon. I’ve been interested in that Longevity/Life Extension thing. We’ll have to make a note and see if she is still around in a hundred and fifty years.
So why not be like Hilary Swank and take 45 vitamins and supplements a day? Oh yeah, still need to win the lottery first.
