Although at least a third of all U.S adults take a daily multivitamin supplement, there has been some question as to whether there are any benefits for healthy people who are not vitamin deficient. A study presented on The Journal of the American Medical Association's website now indicates that daily use of a multivitamin could modestly reduce the occurrence of total cancer.
Beginning in 1997 and lasting through June 1, 2011,the study followed 14,641 male physicians (initially aged 50 and over) who participated in the randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial. The results showed a significant though modest reduction in total cancer for middle aged and older men taking a daily multivitamin supplement.
