Vege multi too, 1000 IU fish oil, 400 IU E, Glucosamine (still not sure if it's voodoo but I play a lot of sports so I figure it might be good for my knees), and 80 mg aspirin (something just about everyone should take).

Do the vegetarian multi pills contain the necessary amino acids that are lacking with a vegetarian diet? Or am I thinking of the Vegan diets? Dunno...
The 81 mg aspirin per day is a good idea. It's well-established for benefit for males, but the jury is out for females. But anyway one looks at it, aspirin is the closest thing to a "wonder" drug there is.
There have been some intimations about glucosamines having an effect on triglyceride levels. My levels (family proclivity) are higher than usual, so I pay particular attention to anything that raises that.

They will really drive the triglyceride numbers through the roof. Minimum 12-hour fasting...including chewing gum.

A day or so of constipation aligns one's outlook...
