My mother believed that when I was a kid with chapped lips in the 1960s. Force-fed me with all sorts of foul-tasting vitamin-supplement rubbish.

Don't believe a word of it. Use ordinary lip balm (not Vaseline) little and often. Wipe it off before you play or it'll clog your reeds. And don't lick your lips.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
