    More and more people are resorting to taking multivitamins as a catch-all way to get their daily dose of micronutrients.

    This has become all the more common as lifestyle-oriented disease and infections continue to rise around us. But are they actually helpful in bettering our health?

    According to a 2020 BMJ Open study, people who consumed over-the-counter medicines containing all or most recommended vitamins reported overall better well-being than non-users. However, the same study did not find any clinically measurable benefits of vitamin popping.

    Several other research papers, publishing in the journal JAMA in 2018 and Annals of Internal Medicine in 2013, categorically discovered no significant benefits from these dietary supplements. It was found that they didn’t reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer or cognitive decline.

    What’s worse, a more recently published 2021 study revealed that most of these dietary supplements do not go through safety or effectiveness trials to assess their many claims.

    All in all, medical experts say that over-the-counter supplements may only be helpful in certain situations but most of the time you’re much better off getting your micros from a well-balanced diet.

    The smart thing is to consult an expert before you pop another do-it-all vitamin pill!
