Why multivitamins?
Your body needs these nutrients for reproduction,

nutrients can vary.

Heart disease
Several observational studies indicate that people
who take multivitamins have a lower risk of heart
disease. However, several others have found no
connection. Overall, the evidence is mixed.
Cancer
Some studies link multivitamin use to a reduced risk
of cancer, while others find no benefit. Long-term,
daily multivitamin use reduced the risk of cancer in
men with no cancer history. Still, it had no effect on
the risk of death.
