The Linus Pauling Institute's Micronutrient Information Center on Oregon State's Website

is something I find very useful. Maybe you will too.

I was initially considering supplemental reservatrol.

I was thinking maybe a trial period is in order. But maybe not. It's funny how the Wikipedia article on reservatrol is largely a concatenation of negative assessments of this phenol. It's as though Meghan Trainor wrote the Wiki entry on reservatrol and should sing it:

"My benefit in preventing heart disease is....NO.

My anti-cancer benefit is....NO.

My metabolic benefits are...NO.

My lifespan enhancement is...NO."

Every time I add a supplement to my arsenal, I have to cross-reference all the known interactions and such and it gets annoying as the list of supplements grows. And then there is simply the unknown (always) and the complex matrix of the individual's makeup, immunology, CBC, susceptibilities of organs, allergies, etc. Are we improving our health with this latest gambit or possibly wrecking a lovely status quo?

But embark with guinea pig blitheness. Do embark. The best and most justifiable animal testing is on your one and only own and (somewhat) owned animal: you.
