New findings about vitamin drink

The first research was done with the participation of the heart attack patients. The researchers gave people this nebulizer to treat the disease and they have to find the differences. The second study shows the brain function of older men vitamin pill for 12 years as bad than those not taking the drug.

Both studies were published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine the same warnings to patients not to waste money on vitamins. "Most of the supplements do not prevent chronic disease or reduce the risk of death, long-term use of vitamin is ineffective and wasteful".

The study was conducted on more than 1700 people over the age of 50 have suffered a heart attack six weeks ago that has a history of taking high doses of vitamins and minerals. Half the patients were given daily pill comprised of 28 different components aggregate. The remainder is a kind of placebo.

The researchers recorded deaths, myocardial infarction, stroke or a second hospitalization for chest pain or surgery. After four and a half years, there is no difference between the two groups.

"While oral regimen of vitamins and minerals do not cause harm, but it does not seem to reduce cardiovascular events in these patients," the researchers were funded by the national institutes of Health said.

In a 12-year study, Harvard Medical School researchers asked nearly 6000 male patients aged at least 65 each using one or more of the daily tonic contains vitamins A, B, C, E and beta carotene or a placebo.

Studies have tested the idea that these supplements can prevent cognitive decline-a decline in age-related brain functions such as memory. After a preliminary evaluation, the man was tested at the time of the 2, 6 and 10 years after taking the drug. The researchers found no difference in cognitive functioning between the two groups. They concluded that the use of daily vitamins has no adverse effects to brain function.

Dr Carrie Ruxton, the center of information on medical services, said the addition of vitamins is the only health maintenance rather than treatment effects exists from before. She said all people entering in the heart test had poor cardiovascular health, health problems such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, angina, diabetes, congestive heart failure and heart valve disease.

More than half of which were on medication, most medications for cardiovascular disease and many people have used many vitamins or herbal products. She added: "almost half of the participants in the experimental group taking vitamins and placebo had quit the study. This may seem not very surprise because every day they have to drink up to six large vitamin tablet which has no effect whatsoever. "

"With this fact, the multi vitamin supplements with proper dosage in order to contribute to the maintenance of health is more effective than regular drinking and long."=
