Consuming a multivitamin is a part of modern people to protect themselves from chronic diseases. In fact, some research indicates, capsules vitamins can prevent cancer or heart attack.
In a study of more than 18,000 people, the scientists found no difference in risk of death from cancer and heart disease in people who take vitamin supplements or not.
“People need to understand that eating certain multivitamins alone is not sufficient to prevent disease,” said Jennifer Hsiang-Ling Lin, assistant professor from Brigham and Woman Hospital, Boston.
Some studies also found no link between multivitamin and chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
In its website, the National Institutes of Health, United States, recommends that doctors prescribe a multivitamin only to patients who do need extra vitamins, eat less food containing vitamin, or can not get full benefits from the vitamins contained in food.
However, most people take vitamins every day with the aim of preventing the disease or increase stamina.
Lin said, taking a multivitamin is not harmful to the body, but can drain the bag. According to the data, Americans spent 3 dollars-16 dollars per month for vitamins.
