Look I make apple, lemon, banana, cinammon, peach, cabbage, spinach and fiber (soluble) smoothies with carrots too every day. More vegetables than most people get in a month. I have always done smoothies but this was my first month on a serious health smoothie PACKED with various known nutrients, anti-inflammatory food, clotting foods etc. I had oral surgery, am not feeling great but within days as swollen as I was I was barely bruised compared to most patients. The surgeon commented that I was "healing on the table". They were shocked I was awake, alert and eating after 5 hours of general anaesthesia and surgery on my jaw. I was also mobile and I am NOT 25 years old, I am on the wrong side of 35 in fact. Like Fawnie said, diet is a HUGE part, excercise (I had 99-100% pulse ox ON MY OWN--this is a very good saturation of oxygen in the blood) just hours after surgery, a rarity even among the young. I whine about the swelling but in reality nobody BUT me really notices and I only have three noticeable bruises.
I have used all these anti-aging products what I believe--SUPPLEMENTS DO WORK, BUT YOU DO NOT NEED EVERY SUPPLEMENT UNDER THE SUN. Diet, excercise, attitide, outlook, and various topicals talilored to trial and error on a per person (and damn expensive) basis all work too. You need to decide what is worth it and how far you want to go. EVERY day a study will tell you to throw out your supplements, then buy them back, throw out your creams, then buy them back, etc. They do not know, we are all guinea pigs, what works for you may well be placebo, but if it works, let it work.
