Gain The Regenerative Powers of Superman With...A Vitamin?
Superman may no longer need Earth's Yellow Sun to heal those accursed magical lightning bolt wounds. New studies show that vitamins can help correct genetic defects on the cellular level. Specifically certian vitamins like folate have been found to correct mutations to enzymes involved in DNA synthesis. These studies are being done under the general research umbrella of Nutrigenomics (the study of molecular relationships between nutrition and the response of genes). One possible benefit, other than Superman-like regenerative powers, is the creation of genetically tailored vitamin supplements.
Imagine getting unique vitamins tailored to your specific genome. Superman's vitamin would obviously have some sort of corrective meausure for his unfortunate weakness to magical lightning bolts (Cursed Kryptonian mutant DNA!).
Research is proceeding to human trials. Anybody want to earn a few extra bucks?
