jebbypalso I know lurid and I talked once about all the good antioxidants but how hard it was to make oneself eat that many fruits and such..
Saw this at gnc when I was getting my dairy digestant pills: Maximum Fruits Complete. It is apparently corn free (yay -- at least, nothing on the label and I had about a half serving this morning w/out any problem) and proclaims to give you More Antioxidant Capacity than 7 Standard Servings of Fresh Fruits**....no actual vitamins are listed though since it is mostly powdered extracts of fruit, but it's something especially since I know how bad I am at fruit in the winter. It actually doesn't taste yucky...not quite like fruit punch, but it's tolerable to drink in cold water.
They do have a Maximum Greens formula that does contain vitamins in it (and not at the outrageous superdoses that normal vitamin pills give you which I'd appreciate since a lot of studies are starting to show that too much of most vitamins is a bad thing too)....sadly, that one has maltodextrin in it. *pouts* Oh well, can't have everything.
Anyways, thought this might be of interest to some of ya. I can't claim that it makes me feel any different yet, but given I would like to do what I can to stave off the possibility of alzheimers from my grandmother...it can't hurt.
Oh, and lurid, I found the thing I said I'd heard about on the TV w/ regards to blueberry extract: vitaberry
