supplement or that supplement preventing or helping treat affliction x,y, or z people immediately think that said person is high or something.

What we are discussing here is SUGAR BASED IMMUNOSTIMULATION. This goes beyond minerals, vitamins, herbs, essential fats, amino acids and the like.

The glyconutrient blends that are out there are capable of helping the liver produce its own natural antioxidant that it protects itself with, Glutathione.

I suggest you read up on N-Acetylcysteine, Glutathione, My Defense (tm), and just glyconutrients in general.

The real deal is, that as we age, and as we are put on this medicine or that medicine to prevent this or that imbalance, we become more susceptible to (for example) Coenzyme Q10, vital for a good cholesterol profile, heart function, and liver function. Statin drugs greatly diminish the liver's ability to produce Coenzyme Q10. Sad think is, Merck had a patent to add C0Q10 to statin drugs 20 or so years ago and never acted on it. Shame on them. In fact, several of our key biochemical molecules may fall off upon aging... I suggest reading up on hormonal issues at www.lef.org

Here is an example of what I mean about the statins, regardless of the fact that they do have proven anti-inflammatory properties. I'll get my anti-inflammatory properties from momma nature.
