Multivitamin Tablets

The “one-a-day” multivitamin was introduced to consumers more than 60 years ago and since then has become a staple for tens of millions of adults and children each day. Most multivitamins on the market contain 10 vitamins and 10 minerals to supplement your regular diet, which is about a full day’s worth of the recommended amount, aside from calcium, which is too bulky to pack into a pill.

Multivitamins claim to help build your immune system and reduce the risk of some chronic diseases like colon cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Honestly, you’ll be amazed. Give it a try today from Holland and Barrett. You’ll be glad you did.

Regular doses of vitamin and mineral supplements could help to reduce the risk of colon cancer and protect against cancer-causing carcinogens, new research has indicated.

Scientists have discovered that rats given regular multivitamin and mineral supplements showed a significantly lower risk of developing colon cancer when they were exposed to carcinogens.

The researchers studied rats that were fed a high-fat diet (20% fat) over a 32-week period.

The rats were divided into six groups. The various groups were exposed to different combinations of supplements and carcinogens; the colon carcinogenesis induced in the study rats has characteristics that mimic human colon cancer.

Rats fed a high-fat, low-fibre diet and exposed to carcinogens developed pre-cancerous lesions. However, rats that underwent similar treatment but received daily multivitamin and mineral supplements, showed a significant (84%) reduction in the formation of pre-cancerous lesions and did not develop tumours.
