Where would we be without Google? From cheating on pub quizzes to helping you win an argument with your other half, we rely on the mighty Google to provide the answers to life's mysteries.
And look, it's okay not to know everything about everything - that's literally what Google is for. But some Google searches are definitely funnier than others.
Put together by Nutri Within, a refreshingly new, no-nonsense vitamin brand, here are 5 hilarious vitamin searches that you wouldn't believe people have popped into Google (more often than you think!).

And if you've searched some of these yourself - we won't tell.
1. Vitamins That Improve Cervical Mucus
Okay, we've got to be honest, this one threw us a little. But with 500 searches a month, it's clearly something that people need the answer to! It's actually to do with fertility as improving a woman's cervical mucus helps the sperm get to where it needs to go,. While it's not the be all and end all of successfully making a baby, upping your zinc levels is one thing you can do to help contribute towards normal fertility and reproduction.
Our bodies don't naturally produce zinc so you could try a daily zinc supplement (as well as zinc-rich foods such as dairy and bread) which helps contribute to normal fertility.
2. Vitamins That Make You Curvy

If only getting that perfect bod was as easy as taking the right vitamins! While taking regular supplements can help you make sure you're getting the right amount of nutrients for a healthy body, sadly, there is no magic pill to give you the curves you want. For that you're going to need a well-balanced diet and regular exercise. So you're better off Googling personal trainers rather than quick fixes - sorry!
3. Vitamins That Make You Feel High
Look, the last 18 months have been rough so there's really no judgement from us on this one. But unfortunately, vitamins can't make you feel high. However, supplements like 5-HTP may increase how much serotonin you make (however there isn't currently enough research to back this up) - which is the chemical that makes you happy. So, you could start there! Additionally, medicinal herbs like Ashwagandha may help with relaxation, however there is little evidence yet to support this claim.

4. Does Ginseng Increase Libido
Ginseng is a herbal supplement used for centuries in Chinese medicine. And while some studies have found it may help to enhance sexual performance, there isn't much research to support this. Maybe try lighting some candles and chucking on a sexy Spotify playlist instead?
5. Vitamins For Penile Growth
You just knew this was going to be on the list didn't you? Since the dawn of the internet, lads have been Googling how to increase their manhood. Although maybe this search came from a dissatisfied partner - who knows! It probably goes without saying that a penis enlarging vitamin doesn't exist. If it did, we would DEFINITELY know about it. Proper blood circulation is key to good penile health and is dependent on dietary and lifestyle factors. But seriously, if you feel like your penis isn't working like it should, you should really go speak to your GP.
