    Weird as that might seem, it wouldn’t be the first time. In the mid 2000s, the pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline began selling Lovaza, an extract from readily available fish oil, as an FDA-approved drug for high blood triglyceride levels. Sales of the drug hit $1.1 billion a year before generic versions of the compound came along. And of course doctors have long given out prescriptions of high doses of vitamins and minerals.

  • Разумеется, врачи давно выписывают рецепты на высокие дозировки витаминов и минеральных веществ.
