In the omega-AD trial, they showed that supplementing with omega-3s didn't result in any benefit if people had elevated homocysteine.

So that's just one example.

And you can imagine, like you kind of said, there are probably lots of these.

And if we're not going into a study actually looking like, well, what nutrients does this person need?

And then supplementing with them, you're not going to find any effect.

You shouldn't be surprised when the study doesn't show anything.

Potentially the one recent example of kind of

just giving a broad based kind of set of nutrients with a multivitamin that seemed to work fairly well was the COSMOS study people may have heard of.

It was thousands of people, of older adults, and they were given either a multivitamin or a flavonoid supplement.

Yeah, it was Centrum Silver, like the most basic multivitamin, just 100% of the recommended daily allowance, no massive doses of anything.

And in that study, those who got the multivitamins saw changes in cognitive function that suggested some improvements.

But that was literally just covering the bases, right?

No massive doses, the most basic multivitamins.

So in the kind of general population...

I think you could say that something like that is probably a reasonable strategy.

But what they also showed was that supplementing with this antioxidant cocoflavanol was only beneficial in those who tended to have a poor quality diet to start with, right?

So they just weren't getting many of these kind of compounds for their diet.

If you're drinking a lot of coffee, eating a lot of berries, seeing a lot of fruits and vegetables, you probably don't need it because you're already getting it.

This is really interesting to me because there's two different parts to it, potentially, although they may end up being the same thing.

So one is...
