Since my late youth, when I left the farm, I have included



supplements in my diet. Now I take "therapeutic" blends of

vitamins, helped by mineral tablets that are high in often

neglected components, such as calcium and trace elements.

I do NOT take "mega doses"; some vitamins are toxic at

high levels.

But exercise caution. Supplement marketers have some of the

most profitable markups short of prescription medicines.

Read what you can learn on the internet searches, including

reputable experts, such as http://mayoclinic.com.

Herbal foods and supplements are a totally unregulated part

of the economy. Some pretty outlandish claims have been

made. Some "miracle herbals" can actually be toxic.

From time to time, I might suggest makers of supplements

that I think are worth visiting on the internet. Read what

you can find, and make informed choices.

I welcome comments from people who have good or bad

experience from various supplement sources.
