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 GNC Ultra Mega® Green Women's Active:
This vitamin it wonderful.Usually when I take a vitamin I expect to feel some sort of up and then a down. This supplies me with long lasting, consistent energy throughout the day. I take one in the morning and one in the afternoon with lunch. They are not hard on my stomach and don't smell bad, making them easy to swallow. Great nutritional addition!

This will not upset your stomach. Ok to take on a 100% empty stomach with no issues. Will not hurt like other brands.
Comments about GNC Ultra Mega® Green Women's Active:
I am a vegetarian who desperately needs additional vitamins that my diet doesn't provide. However, every vitamin I've ever taken (from store-bought, to vegan, to liquid) has left me instantly sick to my stomach. Taking with food and taking before bed never helped either.
From the first day of taking these, I have had NO nausea, and have felt so much more energized! These things are GREAT! Finally my search for a vitamin is over...still in search of a calcium supplement that doesn't make me sick though :/Pros

Comments about GNC Ultra Mega® Green Women's Active:
I use GNC's vitamins for energy, and balance health.
I would like to see more capsule options as they enter blood stream faster. The thing that isn't great about your caplets is the sucralose used in the coating. I would like to see that completely eliminated.- My Beauty Routine Takes:

Comments about GNC Ultra Mega® Green Women's Active:
I started using this product on August 1st. It has been 2 weeks and I felt a difference 30 minutes after taking it. I have 2 teenage daughters and a four year old that is special needs. After my son's second surgery, I felt like an energy vampire came and sucked all the energy out of me. All my mother heard out of my mouth was "I am tired" because I was. I went into a GNC store before my 2nd trip around the mall feeling exhausted. I got these and I ended up walking around 3 different malls that day, making dinner and cleaning the entire house. It wasn't an energy you get from diet pills that make you jittery. It is a natural energy like I had when I was younger. I feel like I am eighteen again. I was on the slim quick diet and gained weight. Just taking these I have lost 12 lbs, I am in a better mood, and I feel great. I take 2 as soon as I get up in the morning and it has become my ritual. Supplements never worked for me in the past. These work. They have everything we need in our diet. IF you can't afford a 500 blender this is the product to get. It has cured my chronic fatigue syndrome. Thank you gnc!!!!
