Sure, multivitamin tablets project the image of being healthy for nearly everyone. Supposedly, they are safe for you, even if you eat right and get vitamins from food. And of course, television commercials, glossy magazine advertisements, and “green” packaging logos are all designed to give this impression of safety. But multivitamins contain these hidden hazards... Most contain nutrients such as retinol and iron. Although essential, these nutrients have very narrow U-shaped curves...which means... The body’s stores of iron and vitamin A have low turnover rates, and exceeding their RDAs can lead to bioaccumulation. There are some even issues surrounding supplementing niacin and folic acid, two water-soluble B-vitamins that are always in multivitamins. Although these vitamins never build up within the body, taking them in high amounts every day can lead to problems. The excipients and pigments they contain can also be an issue. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are always added for color… But after these ingredients are absorbed they cannot be metabolized by the body. So, in addition to being a possible waste of money for those consuming adequate amounts of nutrients from food, multivitamins can actually be dangerous for some people – perhaps all people. Nobody can say outright that some people don’t benefit from multivitamins… But the epidemiological evidence implies that they are, on average, essentially worthless: [12-15-IMG-2] can't see this image? Click on "load images" or "always allow images for this sender" In 2013, these researchers analyzed data from 21 published articles that covered 91,074 subjects in total (with 8,794 deaths). After they compiled the data, it became clear that all associations were non-existent – making it impossible to generally state whether or not multivitamins are actually “good.” [12-15-IMG-3] can't see this image? Click on "load images" or "always allow images for this sender" They noted the same thing when they analyzed cardiovascular disease and cancer outcomes separately. So what could account for these strange results? Perhaps it’s reasonable to assume that multivitamins may be beneficial for certain people who would otherwise be deficient, yet pose a risk for those already consuming plenty of nutrients from food. This also could mean that a specific brand could be beneficial for one population, in one country, yet harmful to another. Besides being sampled across regions, these studies also varied across time. The composition of multivitamins has not been consistent since they were first marketed. Here are some of the things that reduce year-to-year and brand-to-brand consistency: - Changes in the pills’ formulation arising from more efficient chemical synthesis techniques - Trace toxins coming from different sources - Revisions in the official recommended daily allowance (RDA) - The use of new nanoscale pigments For these reasons, it might be better to analyze the sub-studies individually. Although this would necessarily include fewer people total, focusing on just one population and time period could provide other and more useful information. “Conclusion: Multivitamin-multimineral treatment has no effect on mortality risk.” But even then, the exact brands that people take are never reported. And there are some sociological confounders in all of these studies – and they can be used to explain certain results and sets of data. Remember, these are points of argument that can be used to skew conclusions. They are not known facts: - “Sick people” tend to buy more multivitamins - “Responsible people” tend to buy more multivitamins So it’s possible that the best approach is to analyze the problematic components individually, and then infer whether or not a multivitamin would be beneficial for a specific person. We’ll use Centrum Silver®  here as a typical multivitamin: Alpha-tocopherol Alpha-tocopherol is found in Centrum Silver at 60 IU (international units). This represents a convenient figure of 200% RDA. While alpha-tocopherol can certainly protect cell membranes against oxygen-based free radicals – one of its classic functions – it has also been shown to displace gamma-tocopherol. This is the only subtype that protects against reactive nitrogen species. Gamma-tocopherol consistently and very significantly protects against cancer (in both in vitro and in vivo studies). And high amounts of alpha-tocopherol have been shown to be capable of inhibiting its transport. What is needed is a balance between all vitamin E subtypes (or mixed tocopherols), yet Centrum Silver contains only alpha-tocopherol. Alpha-tocopherol was given priority among vitamin E subtypes merely because it was found to be slightly more potent in rat fetal absorption assays conducted in the 1940s. Although perhaps slightly more efficient in maintaining fertility than the other subtypes, Centrum Silver for Men has exclusively alpha-tocopherol. Gamma-tocopherol adducts with reactive nitrogen species (highly associated with cancer) and safely removes them from the body. Alpha-tocopherol displaces gamma-tocopherol. And maybe that is the reason why it’s the only antioxidant shown to actually increase cancer incidence… The other one is beta-carotene, which does so on account of becoming vitamin A. Vitamin A Vitamin A is often classified as a vitamin-hormone. Retinoic acid, the fully-active form, works on cell nucleus receptors to transcribe DNA. Dermatologists know that retinoids can double the skin turnover rate. And osteologists know that too much can thin the bones. Vitamin A is a possible explanation for higher levels of osteoporosis in the Nordic countries, an area where excessive vitamin A fortification was once common. Vitamin A is stored in the liver, and sometimes to a pathological extent. Autopsy liver concentrations vary substantially, ranging from undetectable levels to toxic amounts. Despite highly variably liver stores, plasma levels remain within a strikingly narrow range – and that would make anybody question whether there is any benefit at all to taking it. Since vitamin A or its precursors are found in nearly all natural foods, it makes little sense to store it in your liver unless you are heading off on a long expedition. Other than populations in some developing nations, essentially everyone gets enough vitamin A. Even homeless people in America are probably getting sufficient vitamin A. Iron Iron is also stored in the liver, often to a pathological extent. In addition to heme iron being historically associated with colon cancer, the total body burden of iron is also correlated. This is also a very consistent finding, and subclinical iron overload should be actively prevented. The chemical mechanism underlying iron’s carcinogenicity is its ability to catalyze the production of oxygen free radicals and also hydrogen peroxide. This catalytic effect increases lipid peroxidation. And the free radicals that are produced increase the amount of antioxidants needed. While it’s true that Centrum Silver contains plenty of antioxidants, the fact that alpha-tocopherol is not balanced with gamma-tocopherol should preclude its routine use. Folic acid Folic acid is added to Centrum Silver at 300 micrograms per pill. They use this unnatural molecule because it’s easier to synthesize than the natural folates, and it will partially convert to them within the body. Scientists and nutritionists initially believed that folic acid is exclusively converted into natural folates after consumption, but this has since been proven false. Unnatural folates inhibit the brain uptake of natural folates and also the enzymes that require them. Besides being a biomarker for other artificial folates, unmetabolized folic acid will also compete with natural folates. Unmetabolized folic acid has been correlated with reduced IQ – a surprising finding because, theoretically, folates should increase IQ. This finding makes sense after you realize that folic acid and many of its metabolites are actually folate inhibitors – or veritable antifolate drugs. Niacin Niacin is technically not even a vitamin since it is routinely made in the body from tryptophan. For this reason, consuming niacin effectively spares tryptophan and thus increases serotonin – tryptophan’s other main product. While this could make a person happy, there are reasons to limit this. Niacin also adducts with labile methyl groups within the body, forming N1-methylnicotinamide and lowering the body’s methyl pool. This decreases methionine while increasing plasma homocysteine, a dangerous molecule on account of its reactivity. Homocysteine can form a stable free radical that is also lipid-soluble. And maybe that is why it’s been so highly correlated with cerebrospinal fluid lipid peroxidation. This homocysteine-raising effect of niacin is a classic finding. Niacin has also been shown to reduce other methylated metabolites such as adrenaline and metanephrine. Titanium dioxide Titanium dioxide is a pigment added to Centrum Silver pills to give them a whiter color. So it’s not even pretending to be a nutrient. Due to its reflective nature, titanium dioxide becomes a better pigment the smaller the particles are made. Food grade titanium dioxide particles are sold on the nanoscale and have been shown to be absorbed in laboratory animals. Titanium dioxide has been detected in the liver, kidneys, and brain after oral consumption, and this is a difficult pigment to metabolize. Other vitamins All other vitamins in a multivitamin should be beneficial, but the formulation can certainly be improved upon. Not only are some of them dangerous, but many others are also only conditionally helpful. Since a one-size-fits-all approach has epidemiologically been shown to be worthless on average, a better strategy might be to buy individual supplements to complement your particular diet. Due to the presence of the titanium dioxide nanoparticles, multivitamins were obviously not designed with the consumer in mind. The suspiciously rounded off doses give the impression they were chosen nonchalantly. And the presence of some of the ingredients is justified only by antiquated science. -----Important Message----- “What happened to you?” she said, “I want you inside me NOW” [12-15-IMG-4]( can't see this image?
