Multivitamins do not help in
People takes multivitamins for the comfort of knowing they are filling potential nutrient
gaps. Others take them with the belief that they are boosting their immune
system, improving their brain function or skin tone, or enhancing hair health
or health in general or to fight against pollution.
People who benefit from
taking an appropriate multivitamin include:
- Those who are eating
or absorbing fewer calories (dieters, for example)
- Some older individuals
- People who have
undergone bariatric surgery
- Gym users
- For weight management
etc.
Some multivitamins
claim to support heart health, but results from the Physicians’
Health Study II and Women’s Health Study suggest that long-term use of
multivitamins does not reduce risk of stroke, heart attack, or cardiovascular
mortality. Additionally, a recent meta-analysis that included 18 studies,
2,099,262 participants, and 18,363,326 person years, reported that
multivitamins did not lower the incidence of stroke or mortality from stroke,
cardiovascular or coronary heart disease.
