Long-term intake of multivitamins is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease in men, according to a study published in The Journal of Nutrition. In the study, the effects of multivitamin use on cardiovascular disease risk were investigated.
In conclusion, these findings indicate the taking multivitamins for at least 20 years may lower the risk of major cardiovascular disease events, such as heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular disease-related death.
