QUESTION 1:
I am a student. I
have wrinkles around my eyes, which are increasing
speedily and lots of hair on upper lip & under chin.
Please advise best possible measures through food
supplement.
Answer:
Vitamins C and E together with the topical
application of the antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid might
be helpful. With
regard to the excess growth of body hair this might be
due to a hormonal imbalance or hereditary factors.
Your doctor might be able to help you with this.

chemistry and am doing research, which is attempting to

as I couldn’t find any link in the scientific
literature.
