Anti-Aging Research: Multiple Dietary Supplements Associated with Better Health

Individuals who consume a number of nutritional supplements were found to have better biomarkers of health than people who do not consume any supplements and people who only consumed a multivitamin/multimineral.

Scientists conducted a study involving 278 long-term users of multiple dietary supplements. At least half of the subjects in the multiple dietary supplements group consumed: a multivitamin/mineral, B-complex, vitamin C, carotenoids, vitamin E, calcium with vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, flavonoids, lecithin, alfalfa, coenzyme Q10 with resveratrol, glucosamine, and an herbal immune supplement.

After adjusting for a number of confounding factors, the researchers found that the users of multiple dietary supplements had better biomarkers of health, as compared to individuals who did not take nutritional supplements or who consumed only a multivitamin/multimineral.
