I'm slightly anal, I think the proper technical term for it is OCD, hehehe. I like to have multiples of everything so that as we run out, I just grab another from the cabinet. Considering there are three of us on this regimine now, we go through some of these bottles pretty fast. For instance, the zinc picolinate which is 60 22mg capsules per bottle. The kids use 5 a day between them and I use 6 a day! I am opening a new bottle every couple of days! The biotin too, we go through those really fast, but at least I can get 120 count bottles of that.
Within this organization, there is even more organization, the lazy susan is the kid's daily supplements, the step organizer to the left is full of my daily supplements, plus I use the kid's stuff, our Bach Flower Essences are in the middle, with some things that we all use behind them. The second shelf has our illness supplements to the left and all of our unopened back-up bottles on the rest of the shelf. The third shelf is all things that are used much less frequently, but always manage to come back to for some reason.
If you could see the inside of the doors, you would see pages and pages of notes, lol. I type up lists of what supplements we use and where we buy them, lists of what to use for what and when.
I stocked up on three back-up bottles of Lugol's iodine recently, because of the risk of not being able to get it, due to the radiation exposure in the US from Fukushima. People are scrambling to get their hands on it to help prevent radiation damage. The problem is that prevention is the key, you can't erase radiation damage and considering radioactive iodine - 131 has already been found in the drinking water in PA among many other states and in foods in CA, it's probably a bit too late to be trying to prevent. Perhaps it will help with all of the domino effects though, like how the rain water will feed the plants, how the grasses will feed the animals, and the half life of radioactive iodine in humans is 100 days, whereas it's half-life outside of a person is 8 days.
Sorry to get off track, I have a habit of doing that!
