Coming Up
According to the National Institute of Health website, the NIH will hold a “State-of-the-Science” conference from May 15-17 to examine the effects of multi-vitamin/mineral (MVM) supplementation on chronic disease prevention.
Awesome! I look forward to the results of this conference.
The panel experts will likely be looking at studies such as these conducted by my favorite supplement company to prove the efficacy of their MVM:
Effects of Calcium and Micronutrients on Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Bone Loss. J Am Med Assoc 1980;244:1915 (abstract).
Multivitamin-mineral Supplementation: Effects on Blood Chemistries of College-Age Women. Spiller, Pattison, Jensen, Wong, Whittam, Scala. Acta Vitaminol Enzymol 1985;7:217-22.
Calcium Nutrition and Skeletal and Alveolar Bone Health. Albanese, Lorenze, Edelson . Nutr Rep Int 1985;31:741-55.
