Unlikely: The supplement you are taking is not doing you any good other than lightening your wallet. You may stop it without any ill effects. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
