    there's not a single 'miracle' vitamin out there for any health condition HOWEVER it does come back to the proper overall nutrition of the body.  What you eat and drink is very important along with exercise.  Supplements should only be used (as opposed to a toxic pharmaceutical drug) as a crutch to give the body the nutrition it needs until the person can muster up enough courage to change their eating and drinking habits, which has 'caused' the problem in most cases.  ANYTHING that goes into the body effects the body, that includes food, drinks, smoke, pollution and 'yes', even chemical based drugs.  You've heard the expression 'you are what you eat'?  It goes further than that - you are what you eat, what you assimulate and what you do not eliminate (referring to cleaning out the colon and it's stored up waste).  Think about it.

    Exercise not only helps prevent heart disease, it makes you feel good and helps prevent a whole host of other maladies, including dementia and some types of cancer.  That would be my top recommendation.
