Do multivitamins make you healthier?

Multivitamin supplements are big business. Pharmacy and supermarket shelves groan under the weight of choice available to us. So, if you’re serious about your health, should you be taking one of these even if it is just as an insurance policy for a less-than-perfect diet? While multivitamins won't boost your health as much as what people believe, they do have the potential to be useful for certain groups of people. In my latest podcast, I investigate the evidence for any health benefits of multivitamins and then tell you for which people they could prove useful and for whom they really are just a waste of money. Links referred to in the podcast Review of multivitamin supplementation and cardiovascular disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29991644 Review of multivitamin supplementation and chronic disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24941429 Nutrient Reference Values for Australia and New Zealand https://www.nrv.gov.auEpisode transcriptTo access the full episode transcript, go to the following link and select the individual podcast episode and then click on the ‘Transcript’ tab https://thinkingnutrition.buzzsprout.comConnect with meInstagram: doctimcroweFacebook: Thinking NutritionTwitter: CroweTim
