Your Multivitamin Could Save Your Life!
It’s commonly recommended that all men, whether we exercise or not, should take a daily multivitamin. And now for good reason! Statistics show that anywhere between 70-89% of sudden heart attacks transpire with males. Half of the men who die due to heart attacks had zero symptoms prior to the episode. If you are a male, you’re already fighting the odds of heart disease as it’s the leading cause of death among men in the United States. On average, every 1 in 4 males will die due to heart disease.
So what can you do to prevent or minimize the chances of becoming a statistic? As odd as it may seem, consuming a daily multivitamin has now been found to protect men from having a stroke or heart attack when consumed long-term.

There’s actually a lot of good that comes from taking a multivitamin daily when you factor in American’s poor diets and missing crucial micronutrients due to not eating enough variety of foods each day.

A recent Harvard study revealed that when men used a daily multivitamin for at least 20 years, they had a 44% lower chance of heart attacks and stroke (cardiovascular disease) when compared to those who did not use a daily multivitamin for the same timeframe. The study didn’t have many subjects so researchers are hoping to do more studies in the future to get a clearer picture with a larger sample of the population. However, for now, long-term use of multivitamins is looking very positive.
One researcher from The Journal of Nutrition stated, “Although our results suggest that continuous multivitamin use over a longer duration may be significantly associated with a lower risk of major CVD, the low number of cases supporting these results indicates that they should be interpreted with caution.” Another researcher was quoted saying, “there was a relatively weak association for multivitamin use over 13 years and major cardiovascular events, a suggestion, but this was not clear-cut. This was encouraging but I wouldn’t make any strong statements about it. But for long-term use over a 20-year time period, we saw a 44% reduction. That’s an interesting result but we did not have many men who were taking multivitamins for that long. It paints a complicated picture but there does seem to be something going on for long-term use and major CVD events.”
