The USPSTF reviewed 4 RCTs and 1 cohort study evaluating the health outcomes of multivitamin supplementation (1-3). There was no effect on all-cause mortality or cardiovascular disease in these trials. However, 2 trials assessed cancer outcomes and found a small reduction in cancers and cataracts associated with multivitamin use (3).
Why a Vital Multivitamin is Essential for Optimal Health and Well-Being
One trial of the combination of zinc, magnesium and vitamin D was unable to show a benefit in preventing heart disease in men but did suggest a reduction in strokes (4). A small reduction in breast cancer was reported (5), but the evidence is not strong enough to recommend these supplements for the primary prevention of breast cancer or other cancers.
Many people take supplements for a variety of reasons, including to avoid nutritional deficiencies caused by poor diet or chronic disease, or to boost their intake of certain nutrients. Taking too much of any nutrient or consuming vitamins and minerals in excess may lead to negative health effects, including bone loss, high cholesterol levels, and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
