Researchers at Brigham and women's hospitals in the Boston Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, found that vitamins C and E cannot protect men from heart attacks. The study, published in The Journal of the American Medical Association also found that vitamin E even increases the risk of stroke due to bleeding, which can be deadly.
A study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute also found that vitamin D and calcium are consumed every day cannot protect against malignant breast cancer.
Here is a list of vitamins that are always consumed by some experts every day:
Dr. Andrew Weil: 66-year-old, director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine.
He consumes:
1. Multivitamin / multimineral daily
2. Vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, heart disease, sclerosis, also some other diseases. Studies show that most people are deficient in vitamin D. Weil recommends you to see the label, make sure you get vitamin D3 instead of vitamin D2.
3. Magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can cause irritation, muscle weakness, and abnormal heartbeat.
4. Juvenon (Omega). This component is believed to improve the health and function of cells. This supplement contains two nutrients, acetyl-L-carnitine and alpha lipoic acid. Juvenon can increase energy, sharpen the brain, and make sleep more soundly.
5. Co-Q-10, which adds to supplement coenzyme Q10, which is produced by the human body and essential for basic cell functions. Studies in animals show that coenzyme Q10 helps boost immunity and makes the body more resistant to attack infections and cancer.
