I'll stick with my original comment: "Maybe it's a combination of beneficial vitamins that are...uhh...beneficial."
I agree. Eat the right stuff, and it will help you. Maybe.
But don’t eat the wrong stuff. It could hurt you, probably.
I think you are right on this.
I have been taking 800 iu of vitamin E for over 20 years (raised it to 1400 several years ago) I am healthy thus far so I don't have any ill effects from it so I assume I have good effects from taking it. I do take it with 1000 mgs of Vitamin C so I believe they work together to do well.
I'll be 77 in November and I don't look it or act like it so I believe all the supplements I take have helped me over the years. Like I said, I don't have any problems so its difficult to tell what is helping me and if they are doing what they are advertised to do. I know I am not going to stop taking them.
