Like you, Larry, I'd make the perfect absent-minded prof type. One of my sons says I make the perfect Professor Frink (from the TV Simpsons). So I tend to take my supplements somewhat haphazardly like you except for magnesium, B vitains & C. The amount of D I take works out to 2000-3000 IU daily (as I don't need to take it every day as it's not water soluble). All I know is one of the benefits, beyond healthy bone formation, is increased immunity. I haven't had a cold in many, many years & the last time I had the flu was over 28 years ago. I did develop pneumonia twice but each time was during periods of *severe* emotional stress & I was barely eating, let alone taking any supplements then.
