Do Supplements Work?
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), until 2002, had never been a big proponent of regular vitamin supplementation. Finally, the data could no longer be ignored. After an extensive review of the scientific research in support of vitamin supplementation, researchers Robert H. Fletcher, MD, MSc and Kathleen M. Fairfield, MD, DrPH concluded in a landmark study published in JAMA entitled: Vitamins for Chronic Disease Prevention in Adults that ”most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.” (Journal of the American Medical Association. 2002; 287: 3127-3129)
Because most people do not regularly obtain optimal nutrition from diet alone and because of the overwhelming evidence of regular daily vitamin and mineral supplementation to maintain health and reduce the risks of many chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, neural tube defects, colon cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis and many more, we at Natural Health Mix are in the process of developing a high-quality, multi-vitamin, multi-mineral nutritional supplement to complement our current product offerings. Of course, we will let you know as soon as it is available. So, to answer the question: “Do supplements work?” The answer is a most definite “Yes, supplements do work!” For more information about vitamin supplementation, visit our Natural Remedies resource library and click on Vitamins for Chronic Disease Prevention in Adults. Until next time, thanks for checking in with us, and here’s wishing you a naturally healthy day!
