New -threads today (game #478) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #478, is …
- Flaxseed
- Probiotic
- CALCIUM
- ZINC
- Magnesium
- Spanggram: Supplements
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
This was a bit of a mixed bag with the selection of supplements that combine vitamins, live microorganisms and seeds for a group that could be felt ‘things that you get in foods you buy to make yourself more healthy’.
I generally do not take supplements, mostly because I seem to be unable to actually look after myself in health. I know calcium is important to bones and probiotics can help the gut, but I don’t quite know what magnesium, zinc and flax seeds are doing.
Still, I didn’t have to know that to solve today’s threads, which were pretty simple when I had found flax seeds in the upper left of the grid.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
