Multivitamins benefits Aged in
Weight Loss
Tuesday, December 27, 2005
Weight loss is on the horizon for many of us and nutritional
supplements may help midlifers control the pounds. Middle-aged
people who are obese or just overweight might benefit
from taking chromium, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 or a multivitamin
according to scientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research
Center.
All four of the supplements had significant, consistent
relationships with weight control or weight loss. Chromium
came out best among the supplements and obese men who
took relatively high daily doses (more than 150 milligrams)
of the mineral lost an average of about 3 pounds. Obese
women gained only about 3 pounds. People who consistently
took any of the four supplements, either in high or
low doses, consistently over a long period of time gained
less than those who took none.
