A member asked:
Can you please explain why some vitamins have such high doses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Therapy: Used by physicians that understand the body chemistry involved. We should not need to do this if our food was grown in an old fashioned way so that the normal vitamin content is present. Chronic vitamin deficiency causes damage to the enzymes for which they are needed and the high doses are to try to revive the affected enzyme(s).
