Do you need a supplement? No.
For Captopril, we offer no supplement. No nutritional supplementation has any serious justification to set against this treatment, and we prefer to say so rather than invent a need. Our range is limited to five classes of everyday medicines for which a targeted intake makes sense; beyond these, we sell nothing for the sake of selling, and that is what gives weight to our five references.
