I take these every day because I suffer from 'the long-term effects of malnutrition' from Anorexia as a teenager. It's VERY important for people like me to flood our systems with high-potency, high-quality nutrients because anorexia hampers the body's ability to absorb these just from our food. I'm 72 now & people (esp women) regularly tell me I look like I'm under 50!
