Darn. I would not take any unregulated, non standardized supplement
because time after time, it has been shown that taking one substance
out of the food matrix often causes more harm than good (like beta
carotene and vitamin E). Campbell points this out in the China
Study. I believe he calls it reductionism.

While reductionism has it problems, it also has some merits
provided it isn't the only approach.
I'll also point out the bulk of beta carotene on the market
is all trans beta carotene which rather unlike much
of the mixture of trans and cis beta carotene found in
veggies. And large share of vitamin E is a synthetic
mixture of chemical in which only one molecule in 8
is in one of the natural forms. Still there are
better carotenoid supplement on the market
as are there the better types of vitamin E supplements
such a rrr-alpha tocopheryl succinate and high gamma
mixed tocopherols. There is evidence is you take
extra E, a person should make greater efforts to
eat more vitamin K or take a vitamin K supplement.
As I weigh the evidence, I have made the judgement
that aforementioned vitamin E forms have merits
and I take them along with several forms of vitamin K.
On the other hand, I depend on food for my carotenoids
though I do take smaller dose of preformed vitamin A that
averages around 2000 to 3000 IU per day. And
this year I am taking 5000 IU of cholecalciferol for
the fall and winter

I'll point out food fortification programs are as a practical
manner are even less regulated. You likely have
a high school drop out adding the vitamin additive
to the given food product only when he isn't too
stoned or the boss is looking or he maybe adding
too much because the floor supervisior is too busy playing
cards to do employee training.

Trust me, when I tell most everthing you eat isn't
all that regulated as a practical matter. You can
be sure you've eaten banned pesticides at times.
