Calcium and Multivitamins: Misconceptions About Bone Health Despite common beliefs, calcium supplements do not necessarily strengthen bones and may even deposit calcium in blood vessels. Adequate bioavailable calcium can be obtained from foods like dark leafy greens, animal protein, fish with small bones (e.g., sardines), which are linked to longevity. Similarly, multivitamins were developed based on outdated minimal daily requirements that don't reflect optimal health needs; for instance, the recommended vitamin D intake is far below levels shown to prevent cancer or support brain function.
Vitamin C Timing Matters While Ketone Drinks Are Overpriced Humans need continuous dietary vitamin C due to a genetic inability to produce it internally—timed-release tablets or frequent doses ensure sustained benefits better than single daily pills. Meanwhile, ketone drinks are expensive and unnecessary when MCT oil offers an affordable alternative for producing ketones naturally.

Commonly sold forms of vitamin E often cancel out each other's effects while iron supplementation poses aging risks through oxidative stress unless medically necessary after diagnosing underlying causes like abnormal blood loss.
