Vitamin supplementation in disease prevention
SUMMARY-Vitamins are chemically unrelated organic compounds or families of organic compounds that are essential for normal metabolism in humans. As vitamins cannot be synthesized by a human body, they have to be taken in small amounts in the diet to prevent metabolic disorders. ~tamins should be distinguished from other `food supplements' minerals and h.erbs, which are also taken in small amounts as alternatives or supplements to drugs. Mild deficiencies in several vitamins, at levels below those causing classic vitamin deficiency syndromes (e.g., scurvy or pellagra) are risk factors for chronic degenerative diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, and osteoporosis. Data on vitamin supplementation to prevent chronic diseases are reviewed.
