Multivitamins taken regularly over a long period of time may lower the risk of death from heart disease by 16 percent, according to a new study at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center at the University of Washington.
The study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, also tied daily supplements of vitamin E over a 10-year period to a 28 percent decrease in the risk of death from heart disease.
The new research goes against two older reports, including a much-debated 2004 study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine that said multivitamins — and vitamin E in particular — actually increased the risk of "all-cause mortality."The other previous study, published in 2007 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, said vitamin A, vitamin E, and beta-carotene could increase the risk of death by as much as 16 percent.
The new Washington study found that multivitamins did not decrease the risk of causes of death other than heart disease. It also showed that multivitamins and vitamin E were not linked to an increase in cancer deaths, and that vitamins E and C actually were associated with small decreases in the risk of overall mortality.
The researchers based their findings on questionnaires that more than 77,000 Washington State residents between the ages of 50 and 76 completed. The results were correlated with 10-year use of multivitamins and vitamins C and E, and with death from cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Roughly 35 percent of the U.S. adult population takes multivitamins regularly, according to a recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Are YOU wasting money on worthless vitamins? It's been reported that many inferior — cheaply compounded, poorly absorbed, low quality multivitamins are available in the marketplace. Are the nutrition vitamin supplements you're taking, high quality, and easily absorbed ? You want to make sure you're getting all of the vitamins and nutrients that are listed on the label, which brings me to another point.
Most manufacturers follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), and you should make sure they do before purchasing their products. The purpose of GMPs is to assure that what is on the label is in the product; that the product disintegrates and is bioavailable and unadulterated.
Don't fall for outrageous claims made by the manufacturer. "Some companies claim that their brand of 'vitamin Z' is superior because of the form, or because it is 'all natural,' or it is combined with 'synergistic nutrients' or herbs. Most of the time the additional dietary factors that are present are there in such small quantities that they have only a token presence - not enough to be therapeutic." [1]
TriVita makes no outrageous claims when it comes to their nutritional vitamin supplements. They do, however, ensure that you get the safest, freshest, and most effective products available on the market today. They also say that each product is made under the strictest quality controls in the nutritional supplement industry. All manufacturing and laboratory processes meet or exceed the most current Good Manufacturing Practices as published by the Food and Drug Administration in March 2003.
Taking ineffective vitamins costs you money — money you could put to use in other ways that contribute to better health for you and your family. And many of the common vitamins lining the shelves of stores come in multiple forms, some good, some bad, some totally worthless.
Before buying any nutritional vitamin supplements, do your due-diligence and find the best product at the best price. To learn more about TriVita and their nutritional products, click on this link: TriVita Products.
