No, but if he doesn't take them he will grow tits. Once again I'm astonished by the ignorance on this forum. Learn to science people!

Whoa casualConfused

Yes spiderpig you'll grow a willy. And maybe even develop man flu! Shock

pugsake · 22/09/2016 17:36

I think op was joking casual

Bad day I take it? Grin

123beanie · 22/09/2016 17:39

Yikes, OP is quite clearly joking...GrinConfused

Errrr I think that causal got that the op is a joke. And that she doesn't actually think that spiderpig's dh needs to take vit c in order to stave off mammary development.

AGruffaloCrumble · 22/09/2016 17:44

I read it as casual saying that as an add on to the joke Confused

No, but they probably won't help with your feeling run down! It's iron you need I imagine, but they don't put much of that in manly vits what with men not being depleted by the monthly blood loss :p

acasualobserver · 22/09/2016 17:56

I can confirm I was joking.

Spiderpigspiderpig · 22/09/2016 17:58

casual I am equally astonished by
people's lack of sense of humour on here.

I was asking as I was looking at the back of the pack and, although I don't have a wellwoman to compare. I'm wondering what would be different. Or is it like when they sell Hedex as a headache specific tab, when infact it's just a normal painkiller.

Yes eatsleep that makes sense about the iron. I've started taking floradex too.

Probably iron. Maybe Vit B12 and folate?

But as a transwoman, what should I take.......

Runs and hides

Spiderpigspiderpig · 22/09/2016 18:01

A willy I could cope with wasdat (could be fun for a bit!) but man flu, noooo! It's life threatening in our house.

ego don't worry they'll bring out a welltrans soon enough I'm sure

Sorry casual I misread Grin

I blame the Wine

pugsake · 22/09/2016 18:05

Spider I take iron(prescribed) an asda cheapy multivitamin and magnesium.

I feel loads better for it.

Probably worth getting your iron,B12 and thyroid checked.

Ego147 · 22/09/2016 18:07

A quick search shows more iron and more oils which are linked to the female endocrine system -
Starflower Oil
Evening Primrose Oil
Citrus Bioflavonoids

But then there's Wellwoman for 50 plus, wellwoman for sports people, wellteen.

Ego147 · 22/09/2016 18:10

Wellman has

P.A.B.A. 20 mg
Siberian Ginseng 20 mg
Bioflavonoids 10 mg
Co-enzyme Q10 2 mg
L-Carnitine 30 mg

They're not going to 'alter' anything too much as you also find those in WellWoman sports.

Spiderpigspiderpig · 22/09/2016 18:25

Oh yes ego it must be that women are naturally sedentary & men are naturally active. Which is why there's an active wellwoman Hmm
Off to check if there's an active wellman
