Solving the Mystery of the Multivitamin Part III
This article is the third in the series begun with “Solving
the Mystery of the Multivitamin” and continued with “The Special
Nutritional Needs of Women.” Here it is observed again

because men are more reluctant than women to seek medical
care, when they do so, their illnesses typically have advanced
to a more serious degree. It would seem that men, even more

preserve their health. However, men should not depend on
the supplements used by their wives or women friends. Some
preventative measures are strictly gender-specific. The following
suggestions are designed to help men take charge of their
health while the ball is still in their court.
