Yes, you said that before, that is why I pointed out that Dr. Z’s protocol is only 5 to 7 days. When I am only using for health maintenance I use a good one a day multi vitamin and mineral morning and evening which gives some zinc along with coppeer, also 2 cal/mag/zinc tablets a day, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D3 5000 IU with low sun, or less when lots of sun and I am outdoors. I also use a number of other supplements and have for many years. When I have a body problem I do a Google search of the problem and “nutrition and supplement problems to help.” Three years ago I hurt my knee while crawling out a small window to put a new roof on my porch. MSM, condroiton complex, and various colagin and sea creature supplements may have helped solve my knee issue. Two years ago I realized that I was having a cataract problem, but did not want surgery. I started taking 20 mg. Lutien and 4 mg. Astaxanthine morning and evening, and the cataract is less than 1/4th the severity it was before. I am now 82 and still spry and active.
I personally have not had any noticeable result with lutein, but will look into astaxanthin for its use in various aspects of tissue repair. Thanks.

Oh, I have already been taking it, a variation spelled as “zeaxanthin”.
