A race-based vitaminWhile in most European countries, there are no such things as races because the law says so…

The GenSpec brand of dietary supplements, proclaimed to be the “first genetically specific product line,” aims distinct products at blacks, whites and Hispanics, and at men and women within each group.

GenSpec’s multivitamins for African American and Hispanic males and females, for instance, contain higher amounts of vitamin D because, the Florida-based maker of the products says, the skin of darker-toned people doesn’t make as much vitamin D from the sun as that of lighter-skinned people.
