"Multivitamins: Should you Buy this Insurance?" reads the headline in a Harvard Medical School publication. You'd think, at first, this was another article throwing vitamins under the bus. But it wasn't. It pointed to trials published in the New England Journal of Medicine and to opinions formulated by the National Institutes of Health, all of which found insufficient evidence to recommend either for or against the use of vitamin supplements to prevent chronic disease. This is good, because nutritional supplements were never designed to prevent chronic disease or illness. A consensus, by the way, the FDA agrees with.
Rainbow Light multivitamins are 100 percent natural and hypoallergenic. They contain high levels of the vitamins and minerals and an herbal complement of dong quai for women and saw palmetto for men.
Do Rainbow Light multivitamins and others actually benefit health? Chair of Harvard's nutrition department, Dr. Walter Willett, says a daily multivitamin regimen is good policy, despite the recent spate of negative publicity.
