Could preventing air pollution?

well if you find out if it works id be glad to know that.

add zinc to the mix.

I know for a fact they work. I've used vitamin c and vitamin b12 for years and 2 years ago began using Doterra's essential oil blend breathe and I never used meds or asthma inhalers anymore.

I would think stricter clean air particulate laws, less gasoline burning autos, less coal burning industries, and more solar and wind power would help people like me breath easier -- vitamins not included.

So is the the republican answer to polluting emissions? Take a pill?

What an irresponsible headline. Thousands of Utahns will now buy vitamins thinking it will help combat air pollution.

What an irresponsible industry. (There is a lot of good and potential in dietary supplements, but give their marketers an inch and they'll take a mile and your wallet!)

Vitamin E was just in the headlines this week for raising the risk of prostate cancer in healthy men.
