Good questions. Vitamins can be interesting but the "FDA" doesn't approve of them. I sometimes hate the FDA it feels like they are lying to us, hence our whole united states government is so stupid. Still love my country though.

hold up if the doc say's the other vitamins has no factors in treating one way or the other....what about Fish Oil? I've heard TOO MANY trials saying to take fish oil capsules daily. Heck even the White House on May 27th 2003 urged the Nation to consume more Omega 3. I took Fish Oil and it raised my HDL like 8 points but kept my LDL the same. I have no cholesterol problems but want my HDL to be as high as possible and right now the Fish Oil capsules are working as well as exercise and Red Wine.
