What Does Research Say About Multivitamin Usage in Men?

By Arthur Kavanaugh


Hey men, what's your take on men's multivitamin supplements? Good, bad or worthless? Many males are examining their daily practice of supplementing with a men's multi-vitamin thanks to the study that appeared in "Journal of the North American Medical Association".

Called "Physicians' Health Study II", male volunteers were given either a multi-vitamin or placebo and monitored from 1997-2011. Analysts discovered that men that received multi-vitamins were as prone to heart problems as the group who took placebos.

The object of the trial study was to gather evidence on whether a men's multi-vitamin reduced the danger of "site-specific cancer incidence or mortality". The doctors who took part in the study 1) ate healthy diets 2) body mass indexes were low 3) exercised often 4) took baby aspirin daily.

Or, as Duffy MacKay VP Scientific and Regulatory Affairs, Council for Responsible Nutrition summed it up, "The irrefutable fact that the individuals were already engaging in these healthy behaviours would have made it extra difficult for a multivitamin to meaningfully contribute toward reducing any additional danger of heart disease. "

Nevertheless the researchers reported an 8% reduced risk on all cancer types for study participants who took a men's multi-vitamin. The study focused only on linking men's multivitamins with reducing risks of cancer. Though findings show vitamins don't "meaningfully" make a contribution to reducing risks of coronary disease, it didn't address the imperative reason for supplementing with multiple vitamins.

Essentially, vitamins take up the slack resulting from diet inadequacies. Are you aware that an insufficiency in one vitamin can endanger your total body?

It is possible you eat the "right" foods as an element of a well-balanced diet. If that's the case it's possible you get all the vitamins you need. Maybe but not probable, as most folks eat out regularly eat manufactured foods and snack on junk foods. Only a few people have the time or motivation to monitor every mouthful they eat!

What about Enriched Foods?

Do you actually know what enrichment of foods actually means? It implies nutrients are put into the foods that were removed through processing! But , not especially well. Take bleached flour as an example. Of 22 natural nutrient elements that were removed as a result of heat, storage, and so on. "enrichment" replaces them with vitamin D, 3 of the B vitamins, calcium and iron salts. You do the maths!

Any Tips for the Best Multivitamins for Men?

To avoid vitamin toxicity, don't supplement with over 100% of daily recommended requirements of any single vitamin. Your multi should not contain iron. Men only need about 8 mg iron and generally get sufficient from eating red meat.

If you work in an office, you may not get sufficient sunlight; ensure you get 1,000 IU vitamin D each day. For a healthy heart, men need 400 mcg (micrograms) of folate daily. For brain health, the advocated quantity of B12 is 2.4 mcg. For vision and to support your immune system, 3,000 IU of Vitamin A is suggested. Men need 90 mg of the anti-oxidizing agent Vitamin C daily.

These are bare bones of contents in the best multivitamins for men. The final word is: regardless of studies, most males will get advantages from a men's multivitamin.
