Many of us take supplements, but we’re not always doing it right. According to a US study, people with high cholesterol, for example, were much likely to take vitamin E than those without the disease. Yet this nutrient hasn’t been proved to reduce cholesterol ; it may even interfere with other treatment.
On the other hand, women how suffer a fracture due to osteoporosis aren’t any more likely to take calcium supplements than healthy women, even though much research shows calcium helps.
Vitamin information seems to change weekly, so talk to your doctor before taking supplements.
