💊Are supplements in the NL as safe as we think — and worth the high price?

In the NL (+the EU), we could assume supplements sold here are well-regulated and harmless — just a little extra “health” in a bottle. But as a public health nutritionist, I keep listening to people: • taking multivitamins “just in case” • buying green powders because influencers recommend them • stacking gym supplements like collagen, creatine, pre-workout… 🕵️The truth? Many of these are unnecessary — and some can even be harmful if overused. The market isn’t as tightly regulated as most people think, especially for high doses, herbal blends, or online imports. 🫠Common issues I’ve seen: • overdosing on fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E) • doubling up on the same ingredient in different products • assuming “natural” means “safe” • wasting money on things with no proven benefit 📲I made a short video about how to avoid spending money — how regulation actually works, which supplements are that risky, when and which one can actually help👇 🔗 I’ll post the link in the first comment ⬇️

Looking for couple of people to join me for sailing course (Competent Crew or Dayskipper)

Hi! This post is me taking a shot and hoping for the best! I want to find couple of people that want to learn sailing for the course that starts 24/06 and ends 29/06. The thing is that I want a specific instructor (and he is really the best one I had in my life judging by all sorts and kinds of high adrenaline activities) and if I find 2 more people the school will arrange this dates with him. You can either learn from scratch for competent crew or resume with day skipper if you are already have competent crew experience. The school is RYA certified, everything is official. The price for the week is 1400€, everything included, food as well. I am not in any way benefiting from money, only trying to find a team. We start at Medemblik marina. If you were always interested in sailing and waiting for a sign, here it is!

🇹🇷🇳🇱 Liever Turks dan Paaps (“Better the Turk than the Pope”) was a Dutch Protestant slogan during the Dutch revolt of the late 16th century. The slogan was used by Dutch mercenary naval forces in their fight against Catholic Spain.

In 1569, William of Orange sent a secret emissary to Nasi asking the Ottomans to support the Dutch Revolt against their common Spanish enemies. Orange had already sent ambassadors to the Ottoman Empire to ask for help in 1566, and it is speculated that it was in response to William's request that Selim II sent his fleet to attack the Spanish in Tunisia in 1574. The Dutch viewed the Ottoman successes against the Habsburgs with great interest, and saw the Ottoman campaigns in the Mediterranean as an indicator of relief on the Dutch front. According to a 1570 letter of encouragement to the "Lutheran group" (Luteran taifesi) in "Flanders and other Spanish provinces", which has been preserved in the archives of Feridun Ahmed Bey, the Ottoman sultan (at this point Selim II) promised the rebels in the Netherlands that he would send troops to them when they were ready to rise up against Philip II. The sultan stated that he felt close to them, "since they did not worship idols, they believed in one God and they fought against the Pope and the Emperor." In addition, various religious refugees, such as Huguenots, some Anglicans, Quakers, Anabaptists, and even Jesuits and Capuchins were able to find refuge in Constantinople and elsewhere in the Ottoman Empire, where they were granted rights of residence and worship. Furthermore, the Ottomans supported the Calvinists, not only in their territories of Transylvania and Hungary, but also in France.

HG Haarontstopper safe to use in an old house?

Hey guys is this safe to use for the shower drain in an old building? My shower takes forever to drain, I already removed all the reachable hair and I tried baking soda/vinegar/boiling water but it didn't help. It says it's safe for all pipes besides aliminium and zinc. I don't really want to call the rental agency as they charge a 55€ fee if the clog is caused by the tenant but I'm also scared this might cause damage to the pipes? Any positive or negative experiences with this product in an old house?
