Multivitamin And Multimineral Combination May Lower The Risk Of Colds And Flu For Diabetic Individuals
In a recent placebo-controlled study it was found that daily consumption of a multivitamin/multimineral dietary supplement reduced the risk of infectious illness such as colds and influenza in people who have type 2 diabetes. The study also showed that there was a reduction in absenteeism related to the reduction in infectious illnesses among the diabetic group taking the supplements. The researchers wrote, “A larger clinical trial is needed to determine whether these findings can be replicated not only in diabetic persons but also in any population with a high rate of suboptimal nutrition or potential underlying disease impairment.” For more information go to the Annals of Internal Medicine, Volume 138, March 2003.
