Multivitamins May Protect Men Against Cancer
Multivitamins May Protect Men Against Cancer
Men taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overallMany Westerners are concerned that they may not be getting all the nutrients they need everyday for optimal health, which has made multivitamins a popular choice for many people. Study results on multivitamins often conflict, with some showing benefits, and others finding either no benefit or even potential harm. Now, much-anticipated results from a large, randomized, controlled trial of multivitamins have been released, and this one falls on the side of benefit, showing a modest but significant decrease in cancer occurrence for men who take a basic, daily multivitamin.The ideal study population
Researchers randomly selected 14,641 male physicians to receive a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement or placebo for approximately 11 years. The physicians were 50 years or older, and 9% had a previous history of cancer. Other factors, including age, height and weight, tobacco and alcohol use, diet, other medications, and family history of cancer were similar in the supplement and placebo groups.
The multivitamin provided around 100% of the daily value for most essential vitamins and minerals, with a few exceptions. It contained no iron, and for vitamins E and B12, the multivitamin provided significantly more than 100% of the daily value. For vitamin K, biotin, calcium, magnesium, and chromium, it provided significantly less than 100%. The supplement contained some additional nutrients, including lutein and lycopene.
Moderate multivitamin, less total cancer
Men taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overall than men in the placebo group.
There were no significant differences between the supplement and placebo groups in terms of specific cancer types, such as prostate and colorectal cancers. There were no significant differences in the risk of death due to cancer between the two groups.
Finding balance
The study multivitamin was similar to "common," moderate-dose products available in any supermarket or pharmacy. Given that past studies have suggested multivitamins may increase cancer risk, these findings are reassuring. However, according to lead study author Dr. J. Michael Gaziano, "It would be a big mistake for people to go out and take a multivitamin instead of quitting smoking or doing other things that we have a higher suspicion play a bigger role, like eating a good diet and getting exercise."
Keep this in mind as you consider our tips on creating your own cancer risk reduction plan:
- Be modest. Steer clear of mega-doses, and follow the American Cancer Society's advice: eat a balanced diet, and if you take a supplement, choose a balanced multivitamin that contains no more than 100% of the daily value of most nutrients.
- Seek the experts. A person's diet may get out of balance for a variety of reasons, such as illness, nutrient depletion or malabsorption caused by a drug, medical condition, food intolerance, or allergy. If this describes you, discuss your diet with your doctor or dietitian to identify specific nutrients that may be missing.
- Consider context. The study population was healthy, older males, most of whom don't smoke, and many of whom eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. If you smoke, are obese, or have additional risk factors for cancer, heart disease, or other chronic disease, these findings may not apply to you.
- Get bang for your buck. Regardless of whether you take a multivitamin, you can never go wrong by adopting basic cancer prevention strategies: avoid tobacco, drink alcohol modestly or not at all, move regularly, eat plenty of vegetables and fruit, use sunscreen consistently, and maintain a healthy body weight.

Comments about HEALTH VALLEY NAT. FOODS 1011001 GNC Mega Men® Energy & Metabolism:
I'm always satisfied with the quality of GNC multivitamins, but I often feel the prices are way too high. I stocked up on this product during the holiday sales. It is easy to swallow, doesn't make me feel nauseated like some vitamins do, and I can definitely tell my energy level is much better. Sometimes the day after a really tough workout, I am prone to occasional cramps. This product seems to have taken care of those for me. I highly recommend, but I would wait until they are on sale again, for sure.

Comments about HEALTH VALLEY NAT. FOODS 1011001 GNC Mega Men® Energy & Metabolism:
Since I started taking these multivitamins daily I have noticed an marked increase in my enrgy levels. During the day I have more energy without that mid-afternoon slowdown. I would recommend this product to anyone.
Comments about HEALTH VALLEY NAT. FOODS 1011001 GNC Mega Men® Energy & Metabolism:
I normally take the Mega Men standard vitamin but decided to switch to the Energy and Metabolism but the E&M has too much caffeine for me. I drink 2 cups of coffee every morning and the E&M has 100mg of additional caffeine per serving. It was making my heart race so i've switched back to the regular mega men

Comments about HEALTH VALLEY NAT. FOODS 1011001 GNC Mega Men® Energy & Metabolism:
Take first thing in the morning with a granola bar...does hot hurt stomach at all. I work outside all day and workout at night helps keep me going..
Comments about HEALTH VALLEY NAT. FOODS 1011001 GNC Mega Men® Energy & Metabolism:
I was very carefully at first, tried to read every comments to buy this product. I used about 45 tablets from mid-Feb to beginning of April, this year, one per day with breakfast. At first, it showed effectiveness to reduce my sluggishness and help alerted in morning. I felt active during that time. However, I began to felt unbalancing and strangle feeling. The most terrible part was I have seizures in my shoulder and upper arm which were never happen to me. I went to Mayo Clinic, doctor said based on the amount fo caffein, it should not cause that seizure.
Since I don't have clear evidence if GNC Men Multivitamin Energy and Metabolism is the culprit or not. So I only write a review to let you guy know to be cautious when using this product.
In addition, when I talked with GNC store staff, they repeated that "GNC products are all natural and mineral", but I speculate that they have to use solvent and industrial process to extract those component making claim of "natural products" is inaccurate. By-product and uncompleted purifying process could lead to other side effects that original products (such as brewing tea or coffee) may not have.Displaying reviews 1-10
