Response from Dr. Fisher
 The HIV protease inhibitors are specific for HIV only and cannot be in any multivitamin. The term protease refers to enzymes that cleave protein molecules. What specific protease enzyme in the multivitamin in anyone's guess! Doubt that there is any problem in taking this. AF |
