ZMA and multi vits.

[Andre01]

Just to let you fellows know a real cheap way of getting ZMA with out actually buying it. I am one of those people that have to see their doctors more than I really want to. So I get on script Zinc 50mg, B6 50mg, nut I have to buy Magnesium at full price cause its not funded. So for me at the moment the supps are free expect the mag. But otherwise I pay $10 for the other two for three months supply. BTW I also get my multi vits at the same time, as they are only basic mutlis I take two a day again free at the moment or $5 for three months. If your a heavy lifter or pushing yourself then you might even be able to get three a day. Much cheaper than forking out for those expensive ones.

that just sounds like abusing the system imo.. what kind of doc does that without regular blood tests? mine is reluctant to even provide me with iron tabs without blood test even though it genuinely gets low every few months

I have areally good GP, and as I use them for sleep she has no issues giving them to me. I am a high user anyway so I pay for my fair share of meds, as for blood tests I have them regular over the years so we know what is going on and hey wats the system is for. YOU pay enough through your taxes and health care is meant to be free..... Ha right!!!

i don't know your story, you may well have tested deficiencies and need those but the way you suggested it it sounded like anyone can just go in to their GP and get free ZMA/Multis. maybe it was a bad assumption on my part.

sure did alarm me, by abuse of the system just meant don't stuff like ZMA and multi vits fall more in to the luxury/hobby/recreational side of drugs, especially if said person is requesting them without proof of deficiency?

 

anyway thanks for the tip, inb4 new laws put in place because bunch of lifters start claiming free supps lol

A good GP will perscribe them to you as they are a supplement. My new GP is all about the supps. I'm rather healthy apart from a few health cooncerns like depression and ADHD. A lot of people also get perscribed paracetmol and ibrufen in large doses so its cheaper for them. I know I always about about 300 of each in the cupboard. They normally last about 3-6 months, as for my supp I took my information into my GP and said that I am trying them for sleep and she said sure why not give it ago. As for the multi they are only basic and I told her that I take them as a just in case. No problems, and yes anyone should be able to get them on script, its just a mater of asking.
