Supplement takers healthier overall, new study finds

1 mins to read
In the first major study of supplement versus non-supplement takers, American researchers say those who take multiple vitamins are in better overall health.


A study published in the Nutrition Journal last month has found that people who use multiple supplements for at least 20 years, shape up better on the health scales than those who do not take supplements.

The results "support the potential benefits of long-term use of dietary supplements", said Dr Gladys Block, Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health Nutrition at the University of California at Berkley's School of Public Health.

Involving 278 long-term multiple dietary supplement users, the study reported that the supplementing group had higher blood levels of key nutrients, lower risk of certain diseases, and better levels of key health biomarkers.

Dietary supplements consumed on a daily basis by more than half of the supplementing group included a multivitamin/mineral, B-complex, vitamin C, carotenoids, vitamin E, calcium with vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, flavonoids, lecithin, alfalfa, coenzyme Q10 with resveratrol, glucosamine, and a herbal immune supplement.
