CRN Issues New Report On Nutritional Supplements
Consistent use of multivitamins and other key supplements can promote good health and help prevent disease, according to a new report released by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), Washington, D.C. The report found that ongoing use of multivitamins (preferably with minerals) and other single nutrient supplements (like folic acid or calcium) demonstrated quantifiable positive impact in areas ranging from strengthening the immune system of highly vulnerable elderly patients to drastically reducing the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida. This 100 page report, titled The Benefits Of Nutritional Supplements, reviewed more than a decade’s worth of the most scientifically significant studies measuring the health benefits of multivitamins and other nutritional supplements, including antioxidants (vitamins C and E), calcium, long chain omega 3 fatty acids (fish oils), vitamin D, vitamins B6 and B12 and folic acid.
