If their products are really new, then yeh its great. Most just use a
different mix of the same things and call it new. That is not
justifiable in my book and looks only like a money making scheme. I
would prefer a practitioner to say to me take 1000 mg of Vitamin C and
15 mg of Zinc and give me a list of quality brands, and not say take my
new Vitamin C and Zinc complex.
