A new study suggests that those who take multivitamins every day for 10 years, run a slightly lower risk of dying from heart disease.

People who consume supplements with vitamin E and C also have less risk of dying from any cause, while those who used vitamin C would be at less risk of dying from cancer, summed up the team of Dr. Gaia Pocobelli, Center for Cancer Research the Fred Hutchinson, in Washington.

Vitamins E and C are antioxidants that protect the body against cell damage, but scientists “have no clear evidence” that its use also protect from death.

While the new study results support those of previous works, many of which are reduced risks are small and would be more associated with other healthy habits common in people who take vitamins, quickly explained in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

The authors interviewed 77.719 men and women living in Washington state and who were between 50 and 76 years. 67, 47 and 48 percent of the participants had ever had consumed multivitamins, vitamin C and vitamin E, respectively.

Although the study took into account the lifestyle of the participants, the authors believe that the results “should be interpreted with caution because healthy behaviors, some of which would not have been registered,” tend to be more common among injecting supplements than among those who do not consume those products.”
