Multivitamins have no effect on colon cancer

According to a recent study taking of multivitamins has no effect on the colon cancer. Scientists in their study randomly chose two groups affected by the disease.

To the first group, they gave multivitamins to during their chemotherapy, and to the second group they gave the multivitamins some months after the chemotherapy session.


They noticed that in both groups there was no improvement. We are not saying that you could be harmed by taking the vitamins, nor was seen any benefit for the related issue.

“This study adds to a growing body of research that questions the purported benefit of multivitamin use, and it underscores the need to investigate the use of individual vitamins, such as vitamin D, which may, in fact, provide real benefit,” study senior author Dr. Charles Fuchs, director of gastrointestinal oncology at Dana-Farber, said in a news release from the institute.
