Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if a combination of 10 nutritional supplements provide health benefits that are consistent with protection against age-related disease. All supplements have been shown in previous studies to have health benefits when administered alone. The hypothesis is that 6 months of taking 10 nutritional supplements each day will provide beneficial changes in healthy related measures.
