CHPA Statement Regarding Multivitamins

Share page:

The BMJ Open recently published an article regarding results of a cross-sectional study assessing self-reported health outcomes of Americans who use multivitamin and multimineral (MVM) supplements. Following is a statement from John Troup, PhD, CHPA’s Vice President of Scientific Affairs and Dietary Supplements:

“The recent BMJ Open article recognizes nutrition gaps in the American diet but it fails to note the real benefits of vitamin and mineral supplementation to fill these gaps to help consumers maintain a healthy balance. There is growing evidence of the benefits of dietary supplements for certain health needs and general wellness.” Learn more from the CHPA Educational Foundation
