A daily multivitamin supplement exerts beneficial effects on stress, anxiety and fatigue.
The most commonly used supplement in the developed world, multivitamins are formulated with a composition that mimics a diverse assortment of healthy fruit and vegetable compounds. David Camfield, from Swinburne University (Australia), and colleagues studied 138 healthy adults, ages 20 to 50 years, to whom a multivitamin was administered for 16 weeks. Via at-home mobile-phone assessments, subjects reported “significantly reduced stress, physical fatigue and anxiety” after taking the multivitamin.
