Multivitamin beneficial

Posted by copyman @copyman, Mar 8 8:11am

I found this older study interesting and it was looked at again last year by researchers. Hopefully helpful.

Multivitamin Use May Lower Risk of Prostate Cancer Recurrence.

An association was found between the use of multivitamins and a reduction in the risk of prostate cancer recurrence, according to a recently published study.*
Participants included 1,396 men enrolled in the Cancer of the Prostate Strategic Urologic Research Endeavor (CaPSURE) between 1999 and 2018. The men received treatment with radiation or removal of the prostate for nonmetastatic prostate cancer. Responses to health questionnaires completed after diagnosis provided information concerning the use of multivitamins.
Prostate cancer recurred in 119 men during a median follow-up of 4.7 years. Men who reported supplementing with multivitamins had a 49% lower risk of disease recurrence compared with men who had never used multivitamins. Among multivitamin users whose prostate cancer was of medium grade or higher, the risk of recurrence was 73% lower than among those who never used them.
Editor’s Note: The authors stated that
oxidative stress is a risk factor for the onset and progression of prostate cancer. This suggests that multivitamins’ antioxidant
properties may be responsible for the protective effect observed in this study.

@readandlearn

Ha ha, yes and word "natural" on many products *eyeroll

Arsenic is natural as well as cyanide. I also hate, hate products that claim that they are sugar free and than when you read the label it contains alcohol sugars (xylitol, erythritol, sorbitol, and maltitol etc.). Yes, they have low glycemic index but they can effect sugar levels (particularly maltilol) and not to mention have bad effects on digestion and gut flora in general. IMHO those claims should be forbidden !

Than how about "natural colors" or "natural flavors" - give me a break : / !!! They require heavy processing with solvents to be in a form that can be used for manufacturing - anybody in a mood for some solvent infused vitamin ? Spoiler alert - allllll brands contain fillers, colors, preservatives and gummy type of course bunch of other trash.

Honestly, it is a miracle that we all do not have 10 cancers by the age of 30 when we take into account of what is in our food, water, air, fabrics , etc. !

PS: If anybody knows of multivitamin with no fillers like "modified corn starch" and similar and no "color No. #" and no added "flavor" - please let me know ; ) Since all of those are in minuscule amount in one pill they really have no potential to do ANY harm - it is just that they are absolutely unnecessary and not healthy additions and than for that reason "whyyyyy" ????

@surftohealth88 Check out Life Extension multi (no fillers) plus their other products. This is where I buy all my supplements. You can also order blood tests for a fee and have blood draw at a local facility. Results sent directly to you not doctor. Of course if you have your own doctor order tests insurance covers it.
