Summary

This placebo-controlled double-blind study carried out by the Harvard Medical School investigated whether long-term multivitamin supplementation decreases the risk of cancer among men. 14,641 men aged 50 years or older, including 1312 men with a history of cancer, were included. In the study of 14 years, participants were given daily doses of a multivitamin supplement or a placebo. Daily multivitamin use was found to significantly reduce the occurrence of cancer. It was therefore concluded that daily multivitamin supplementation reduces cancer risk. For more details, please see the study.
