This seemed so damned odd to me that I just had to post it. On the Internet I found that folic acid and B-12 might help produce nitric oxide and be helpful in treating E.D. so off to the Walmart pharmacy I go. Nothing there. I cannot find the products, so I asked the pharmacist. Immediately she wants to know why I want to take them. What am I using them for. I found it strange. I simply told her that I research things a bit before I buy them, and I never buy according to the label saying "good for heart health", etc. That was my way of telling her to mind her own business. Next she claims I will only find folic acid listed as a "folate." It is never sold as folic acid any longer. Does that mean they are going to recall all of those Internet images? I did find the B-12 and then left.

Next I go to Walgreens and there it is -- folic acid. It is also not listed as a "folate." I buy that one and I leave happily going to combine them and try my experiment that I read about.

This whole thing reminds me of a few years ago at Dollar General when I was looking for a good men's every day vitamin. All that was left was the women's daily vitamin so I mentioned that to the checkout. She looked at me seriously and said that if the vitamins were for me she could not sell them because they are women's vitamins. WTF is all this nonsense anyway?
