Study Suggests Various Health Benefits For Obese Chinese Women Taking Multivitamin and Mineral Supplementation
https://www.nature.com/articles/ijo201014 ( Published: 09 February 2010 )
Percentage of difference between treatment and placebo groups in obesity and energy metabolism measures, blood pressure, plasma glucose, insulin and lipid profiles at 26 weeks adjusting for baseline values, age, alcohol consumption, smoking history, physical activity and menopause status. MMS, multivitamin and mineral supplementation; BW, body weight; BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; FM, fat mass; FFM, fat-free mass; REE, resting energy expenditure; RQ, respiratory quotient; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; INS, insulin; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Compared with the placebo group: *P<0.05, **P<0.01, †P=0.071 and ‡P=0.053.
Although I am not obese, my systolic blood pressure is reduced by 8% - 15% 6 months after taking daily multivitamin/mineral supplements ( a tablet a day) .
Starting in 2014, "multivitamin and mineral" supplementation came under attack in the US. Suggesting that Americans are wasting their money. That is 5 US cents a day for an individual. On average, an American spends $USD40 per day on healthcare ( maybe multivitamin and mineral supplements will reduce that ! )
