Hey guys,

I'm doing a project. Im putting together a patient informational (one of those trifolds you can do on MS word). I chose to do this because my knowledge on vitamins sucks. Class was horrible, and now I'm doing the research and finding out why vitamins are so hard to find! There is hardly no published info on it, and if there is on one particular vitamin, the article might be 450 pages... ya.. no thanks. So this poll is just to see how comfortable you are with your knoweldge base on vitamins.
 
There needs to be an option for "You weigh 290 lbs and enjoy the typical American diet, I'm sure you get all of the nutrients, minerals, and vitamins you need."
 
Spent 100 hours in the OTC aisle last year , so.. got it down pat.

Funniest thing i saw? Someone who had been using orajel on their genital warts for "years".

Interesting thing I learned from a database , immodium is safe in children even though the box says otherwise.

One customer asked for "brain pills"., then clarified that they were the things that helped you feel better. Had to refer on that one.
