The Ugly Truth About Multivitamins

The Second Study

The other study conducted, a research review, analyzed the evidence from twenty-seven studies on vitamin and mineral supplements that included over 450,000 individuals. That study was conducted for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which found no evidence that supplements offer any benefit for heart disease or that they reduce the risk of fatalities from the disease. As with the first study, researchers discovered there was a minimal benefit for reducing cancer. Overall, the research conducted between these studies can conclude multivitamins do not benefit brain and heart health by reducing the risks stated on the bottle, though they do slightly reduce the risk of developing other diseases, such as cancer and cataracts. Rather than taking vitamin supplements, patients are recommended to start introducing more fresh vegetables and fruits, fiber and calcium into their diet if they feel their diet is lacking in these significant nutrients.
