If vitamins are used continuously, their effectiveness is at most two to three weeks, after which they should be stopped for two to three weeks to allow the body to produce needed substances itself.

维生素若持续使用,有效性最高为两至三周,之后应停用两至三周让身体自行产生所需物质。

This program treats the Seth Material as a source of hypotheses, not as doctrine to be validated. Lead dossiers are AI-compiled from the corpus with a book-and-session citation after every statement; literature reviews are AI web-search summaries whose references were all DOI-verified against Crossref; the agenda draft is an AI synthesis. None of it is Seth's original text, and none of it represents scientific consensus. English fields are machine-translated; the Chinese text is authoritative.

Adjudicating experiment
First test this universal claim with vitamin C: about 180 non-deficient adults randomized to continuous supplementation, three-week supplementation followed by three-week washout, or placebo; all diets meet basic requirements; follow for 18 weeks; compare plasma and cell concentrations, excretion, and preregistered functional endpoints, controlling for cumulative supplement dose. Additionally, use human hepatocytes with stable isotope tracing to test endogenous synthesis, with a synthesizing species as positive control. Project 12 months; cannot induce deficiency diseases chronically, and cannot generalize from one vitamin to all vitamins.

Continuous Versus Intermittent Vitamin C Supplementation: A Pre-registered Trial of Nutrient Kinetics and Functional Outcomes
What it would overturn
If it is confirmed that humans can synthesize sufficient vitamin C after stopping supplementation, this would overturn the established conclusion that 'humans cannot synthesize sufficient vitamin C de novo due to GULO pseudogene dysfunction.'

Specificity of Seth's formulation
Very high; explicitly proposes a two-to-three-week upper limit and two-to-three-week washout period, but ignores vitamin type, baseline nutritional status, dosage, and endpoint differences.
Note
Judged as contradicted based on the mechanistic error in human synthesis ability; not every supplement is effective, nor has existing research exhausted all intermittent regimens, so this conclusion should not be interpreted as everyone should continuously supplement.
