I really don't know either. I think eating right would be the best plan, but I don't.

I try to rem to take a general multi vit and also like vit C and E. With E, I also put it in bath water when anyone has skin irritations. It seems very healing used that way. Break the capsule open (-: which should go without saying I guess but ya never know.

I did take one sup that messed up my uhm system. I'll just keep that vague - female thing. Doc said it had testosterone in there. OK for some. Too much for my system.

So - be careful when playing with naturals and herbals.
