  • 1 out of 3 adult Americans take a daily multivitamin. On this episode of GameChangers, we discuss a recent study which examined whether daily multivitamin use extends life or prevents common causes of death.

    The GameChanger
    The study found no evidence that daily multivitamin use reduced death from common conditions such as heart disease or cancer.
