Vitamins Use in a Male Physicians and Subsequent CVD – (07-18-02)



Vitamins Use in a Male Physicians and Subsequent CVD

This article found no protective effect for multivitamins or vitamins C or E on cardiovascular disease. Before you run to the cabinet and throw away your Centrum multis (on second thought…if you are taking Centrum….) consider a few things. These articles rarely look into the type of multivitamin that the participant is taking. Multi quality varies incredibly, and my biased opinion would be that the researchers would have a hard time identifying characteristics of a high quality multivitamin. Just because a multi has 100% of the RDA does not mean it will be absorbed. Many nurses in the past have referred to Centrums as “bedpan bullets.” And ask any radiologist if they have identified intact vitamins on Xray.  My guess would be that a good, high quality multivitamin WILL lower risk of many diseases, CVD included.
