Multivitamins no good for you?

A recent study in the Archive of Internal Medicine found the use of multivitamins may not be much better than not using them at all. The 8 year study, conducted on post menopausal women, found that at the end of the trial, multivitamins had little to no effect on the prevention of certain cancers, heart attacks, or strokes.

In the United States, about 42 percent of women use multivitamins. This study may affect their hope of getting an advantage on taking these pills. However, it is important to know what the benefits of multivitamin use are as well.
It seems as though every now and then the natural medicine industry gets a blow by a study done. There are many critics of the study. This pharmacist criticizes the study by stating the faults it had.

Being a person that use to work for a vitamin store, I can say that this study may have a negative effect on the perspective of those who are not knowledgeable on the benefits of taking vitamins. When asked questions on multivitamins, I use to state "Multivitamins are SUPPLEMENTS and are not meant to cure diseases and should not be taken with that expectation, however, taking it in moderation along with a healthy diet, can help meet certain needs." In other words, it helps fill nutritional gaps of our diet.

Taking multivitamins by no means implies that you will be disease free. Our bodies can be seen almost like a machine. Let's take a car for example. You can change the oil, always keep the tank full, change the brakes, etc... This can help the car be stronger and more reliable in certain aspects. Nonetheless, ultimately you won't have a perfect car without problems. Our bodies are on the run and using up fuel all day, everyday. Imagine this with a car and the effects it can have. Our bodies were made to handle this, but it needs healthy fuel along the way.

  2. Hello Kaitlyn,
    Thanks for your comment. Each vitamin and mineral has it's own benefit. The best bet would be to get these nutrients from fruits and vegetables. Living in the United States, we all know that we do not get good amounts of vitamins and minerals in our diet. This is where multivitamins come. Even though it is not the same as fruits and vegatables, at least it will be better than being deficient.

I asked questions about the Herbal cure's on official HIV/Herpes websites and I was banned for doing so by moderators who told me that I was parroting Hiv/Herpes propaganda.
