I love my fish, meat Fruits and Veggies. Always felt the hype about vitamins and antioxidants seemed a bit of a money-making scam. Apparently, it can also make you die a lot faster[bigwhistle][bigwhistle][bigwhistle]

Antioxidant supplements for prevention of mortality in healthy participants and patients with various diseases - PMC (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8407395/)
soThe 10-12% increased mortality rate for Antioxidents is hmmm One BIG company racking in Billions is in the poo apparently with "B6 toxicity in vitamins"
I'll stick to my fresh food over the options OVER SPRUIKED by some apparently informed types [bigrolf][bigrolf]

FYI The value of vitamin industry in the world might be over USD$ 170 billion so naming anyone might be the fast way to court [bigwhistle][bigwhistle][bigwhistle]

Interesting. Only one measured outcome though, i.e. mortality. No mention of morbidity. Mortality will be 100% in both arms of a trial if it goes for long enough.
Like you though, I'll just stick to food as a source of vitamins etc, rather than making my urine more expensive.
