Proof of the effects of vitamin supplements on health?

Hey everyone, I’ve been wondering a long time if vitamin supplements (esp. the One-A-Day multivitamin type or product) has been proven effective (esp. in a double-blind study).
Why, what’s in a vitamin pill that’s not in, say, a can of Coke?

The sad answer is that there really isn’t any proof. Many studies have failed to show any great benefits of multivitamins. There are even several studies that show that vitamins may be harmful in large quantities. No studies show that multivitamins protect against heart disease, or cancer, or anything else.

The best evidence is for calcium/vitamin D to prevent osteoporosis, and for pregnant women taking folate to prevent birth defects. After that, evidence for benefit declines significantly.

Much of the effect that people think they get from vitamins is from the placebo effect. Especially those that insist that vitamins will make your cold shorter or less severe. No significant effect from the vitamins, although a placebo effect was shown.

Check out the article below… They cite many research articles and examine the evidence for the benefits of vitamins as well as the risks of taking vitamins and the placebo effect.

Do Vitamin supplements work?

Getting The Combination
At one time you would have had to buy the nutrients I recommend individually. However buying the nutrients separately is expensive, and tiresome, so a combination brand can be a better buy.

Combination Brands
There are two manufacturers offering a formula that I think qualifies as comprehensive: the Uni-Vite NutriShield brand and Solgar Advanced Formula.

The Solgar Advanced Formula is among the best of the retail brands. NutriShield is more advanced as it incorporates all the nutrients that I think are important, including betaine, glucosamine, lycopene, Q10 and Omega 3 fish oil – which Solgar omits.

You can find NutriShield on www.nutrishield.com

Solgar Advanced Formula is available at specialist health food shops.

Codex Alimentarius and Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010 (S. 3002

June 2, 2010 by  
Filed under Dietary Supplements

McCain bill threatens access to vitamins and supplements.

These latest food Bills do NOT have our safety in mind. This is a move to obtain tyrannical control of the food supply. Codex Alimentarius does not get near enough attention. Codex Alimentarius represents the single largest threat to our health and freedom. We are talking about control of our food supply and the banning of vitamins herbal supplements.

Organic seeds will be considered contaminants and you will be fed the GMO crap that has no nutrients. If the food supply becomes this controlled, it will matter more than money. THE ISSUE OF CODEX ALIMENTARIUS HAS IMPLICATIONS FAR OUTREACHING 9/11 TRUTH, FEMA CAMPS, OR THE DOLLAR COLLAPSE. AS IT IS ALREADY, AND BY GOVERNMENT ADMITTED FIGURES, MORE THAN 100,000 PEOPLE DIE EACH YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES DUE TO PROPERLY PRESCRIBED DRUGS. IMAGINE THESE SAME CORPORATIONS CONTROLLING ALL YOUR FOOD, ALL YOUR MEDICINES, AND BANNING ALL NATURAL HEALTH MEANS. THESE ARE THEIR GOALS! A speech by Ian R. Freeman I transcribed the main points of the video: The profitability of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies exceeded the profitablity of the other 490 companies in Fortune 500. These companies have teams of people working on strategies to maximize the opportunity brought about by the implementation of Codex Alimentarius. Codex serves the interest of Big Pharma. And what is really a concern is the World Trade Organization will implement Codex using Napoleon Law. Common Law means unless something is considered specifically bad it is ok. Napoleonic Law is completely opposite. Unless something is specifically mentioned, it is banned. What the pharmaceutical companies and the food companies are trying to do with the Codex Committee is to make the testing process so outrageously expensive that the only people who can get things on the approved list are the Monsantos and the Pharmaceutical companies. Nobody else will be able to afford to go through the rigorous tests that you have to go through to get a product unto the approved list. This has already been tried before in the United States in 1994. It was defeated because of the public outcry, but still a lot of people never heard about it because of a lack of international and national mainstream media coverage. But it is back in the form of: Food Safety and Tracking Improvement Act S424 and Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 HR875. I have read both these Bills and they serve the globalist agenda. There are vague definitions in the bills to give wide reaching scope and I saw where there was a fine of $100, 000 a day per offense. These draconian bills HAVE to be stopped!
