Introduction

No evidence that vitamin supplementation prolongs life.[1]

Supplementation for most vitamins & minerals associated with lower all-cause mortality, but after adjustment for education & lifestyle factors, associations for all but lycopene disappeared[11]

Antioxidant vitamins do NOT prolong life[2]

No evidence to support the use of vitamin supplements or antioxidant supplements to prevent cardiovascular disease[7,10] or cancer[10]

US Preventive Services Task Force (2003) concluded:

Multivitamin supplementation reduced infection in:

  • healthy subjects < 65 years of age (RR* 0.6)[4]
  • diabetics (RR* 0.2)[4]
  • reduced number of days of infection (17 days yearly)[5]
  • non-significant decrease in incidence of infection[5]
  • no effect on odds of having at least one infection yearly[5]

* relative risk
