Dear Rajiv,
It is in our culture, to keep the elderly persons at home and care for them till the end. This person needs nursing care also which your family members alone can not do.

These supplements are safe as long as they are given in prescribed doses for a specific duration for a specific deficiency. If there is a diagnosed deficiency of any nutrient, it has to be evaluated and then correction given. These are drugs and no one should use any drug for prolonged durations in unspecified doses.
