Vitamin supplementation
in disease prevention
— Vitamins
• vitamins (with the exception of vitamin D) cannot be synthesized by humans, they need to be ingested in the diet to prevent disorders of metabolism
• Pregnancy and alcohol consumption may increase requirements for some vitamins.
Testing
• — Measurement of serum levels of several vitamins is widely available
• Inadequate intake or low serum levels of some vitamins can be associated with biochemical abnormalities.
• As examples, the serum concentration of homocysteine rises with diets low in folic acid, methylmalonic acid rises with low intake of vitamin B12, and parathyroid hormone rises with low intake of vitamin D
• improve with increasing intake
FOLIC ACID • Folate is the natural form of the vitamin found
in food and is present in green, leafy vegetables, fruits, cereals, grains, nuts, and meats.
• Folic acid is the synthetic form of the vitamin that is included in supplements and food fortification, has many of the same biologic effects as folate, but is more bioavailable and therefore more effective dose for dose
• Overall, the only well-established benefit of folic acid supplementation is the prevention of neural tube defects because folate is required for normal cell division
Flate in Cancer• Biologic and observational evidence suggest that sufficient folate intake
might prevent cancers in certain populations at risk as Folate deficiency may contribute to aberrant DNA synthesis and carcinogenesis
• In a 2013 meta-analysis of randomized trials of folic acid in patients with colorectal adenoma (3 trials; n = 2652) or for prevention of cardiovascular disease (10 trials; n = 46,969), during an average of 5.2 years of treatment, there was no significant difference in overall cancer incidence for patients assigned to folic acid or placebo (7.7 versus 7.3 percent; RR 1.06, 95% CI 0.99-1.13)
• One limitation of the included trials is that the average duration of intervention (five years) is short and may not be sufficient to characterize long-term benefits or harm of folic acid supplementation. In addition, the trials do not address underlying nutrition status and other preventive measures.
Since the evidence is inconclusive, we recommend not taking folic acid supplementation for the sole purpose of reducing cancer risk.
Folic acid in Cardiovascular disease • High levels of homocysteine are associated with
an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.• Supplementation with folic acid, vitamin B6, and
vitamin B12 can lower homocysteine levels.• However, meta-analyses of randomized trials of
supplementation for secondary prevention do not support the hypothesis that these vitamins prevent cardiovascular disease
Folic aci & risk of hypertension
• High folate intake may reduce the risk of hypertension.
• Still There is insufficient evidence to recommend folic acid supplementation to reduce the risk of hypertension
Folic aci & hearing loss .• There is conflicting observational evidence
about whether increased serum folate levels are associated with a decreased risk of age-related hearing loss
• Calcium/vitamin D
•first step in the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis is ensuring adequate nutrition, particularly maintaining an adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D
•Vitamin D enhances intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate. Low concentrations of vitamin D are associated with impaired calcium absorption, a negative calcium balance, and a compensatory rise in parathyroid hormone, which results in excessive bone resorption.
•calcium and vitamin D alone are insufficient to prevent bone loss
OPTIMAL INTAKE
postmenopausal women •1200 mg of calcium (total of diet and supplement) and 800 int. units of vitamin D daily with osteoporosis
premenopausal women or in men with osteoporosis •1000 mg of calcium (total of diet and supplement) and 600 int. units of vitamin D
We recommend not administering yearly high-dose (eg, 500,000 units) vitamin D.
total intake of calcium (diet plus supplements) should not routinely exceed 2000 mg/day
•Optimal intake can be achieved with a combination of diet plus supplements
•prefer that as much as possible (at least half) of the calcium come from dietary sources.
•supplements are not less effective than calcium found naturally in dairy products. However, supplements may have more adverse effects, particularly kidney stones.
Calcium •cheapest and therefore often a good first choice•absorption is better when taken with meals•poorly absorbed in patients taking proton pump inhibitors or H2 blockers•calcium carbonate is 40 percent elemental calcium, so that 1250 mg of calcium carbonate contains 500 mg of elemental calcium
Calcium carbonate
•, calcium citrate is well absorbed in the fasting state, and equally absorbed compared with calcium carbonate taken with a meal•patients taking PPI or H2 blockers, calcium citrate is a first line calciumcalcium
citratesupplementation in excess of 500 mg/day should be given in divided doses
labeling reports the amount per “serving” instead of the amount per tablet, it is important to verify that the patient is taking the correct number of tablets per serving
Nephrolithiasis
• Ingested calcium is absorbed in the intestines and later excreted in the urine
• Although this suggests that a diet high in calcium might promote stone disease, the opposite effect is seen as the risk of stone formation appears to be reduced in both men and women.
• In contrast, calcium supplements may slightly increase the propensity to form stones, at least in older women
• In the Nurses' Health Study, a higher dietary calcium intake was associated with a lower incidence of stone disease (multivariate relative risk 0.65 for highest versus lowest quintile of calcium intake) while calcium supplements were associated with a small increase in risk (relative risk 1.2 in supplement users compared with nonusers)
Cardiovascular disease • risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is controversial • There may be benefits of calcium supplementation on risk factors, such as a
reduction in weight, blood pressure, and in serum cholesterol concentrations (of about 5 percent) in patients with mild to moderate hypercholesterolemia.
• in one study After seven years, calcium plus vitamin D supplementation had no significant effect on the incidence of myocardial infarction
• However, the findings of two meta-analyses evaluating calcium or calcium with or without vitamin D supplementation (eight and nine trials, respectively) raised some concern about an increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients randomly assigned to calcium versus placebo (
• In contrast to the findings with calcium supplements, prospective cohort studies showed either no relationship or an inverse relationship between dietary calcium intake and risk of heart disease death or MI
Vit D
• Thus, all adults who do not have regular effective sun exposure year round should consume at least 600 to 800 international units (units) of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) daily
slightly higher dose of vitamin D supplementation (at least 1000 and 800 to 1000 int. units daily, respectively) to older adults (≥65 years) to reduce the risk of fractures and falls
DEFINING VITAMIN D SUFFICIENCY
• UpToDate editors, favor maintaining the serum 25(OH)D concentration between 20 and 40 ng/mL (50 to 100 nmol/L), whereas other experts, including other UpToDate editors and the author of this topic, favor maintaining 25(OH)D levels between 30 and 50 ng/mL
• Experts agree that levels lower than 20 ng/mL are suboptimal for skeletal health
• minimum level of 30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L) is necessary in older adults to minimize the risk of falls and fracture
concerns were based upon the increase in fracture in patients treated with high dose vitamin D and conflicting studies describing a potential increased risk for some cancers (eg, pancreatic, prostate) and mortality with levels above 30 to 48 ng/mL

• In pregnant women with vitamin D deficiency, the safety of 50,000 int. units of vitamin D weekly for six to eight weeks has not been adequately studied,
• so some UpToDate editors treat vitamin D deficient and insufficient pregnant women more slowly by giving a total of 600 to 800 int. units of vitamin D3 daily. For pregnant women with vitamin D deficiency, other UpToDate editors agree with ACOG and the Endocrine Society that 1000 to 2000 int
The role of Vit D 3
•Physiologic doses of vitamin D attenuate bone loss and may decrease fracture rate. Osteoporosis
•randomized trials showing a reduction in risk of falls (relative risk reduction as high as 20 percent) following vitamin D supplementation, particularly when the baseline vitamin D status is poor Falls
•biologic reasons why vitamin D may protect against cancer, evidence for this effect in humans is mixed and expert groups have not recommended vitamin D supplements for the specific purpose of preventing cancer• Cancer
All-cause mortality
• Thus, although some data suggest an association between vitamin D deficiency and cancer, the direction of the association may depend upon the serum 25OHD concentration.
• The current evidence is insufficient to support large dose vitamin D supplementation for cancer prevention or treatment.
Other unproven effect of vit D3• n a review of four interventional randomized trials and a meta-analysis of six
trials, however, there was no effect of supplementation on cardiovascular outcomes, including myocardial infarction and stroke [ 66,72 ]. The meta-analysis also did not show a significant effect of vitamin D supplementation on cardiovascular risk factors (lipids, glucose, blood pressure)
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES AND HYPERTENSION
• In a meta-analysis of eight trials evaluating the effect of vitamin D supplementation on glycemia, there was no effect of supplementation on glycemia or incident diabetes [ 66 ]. However, a subsequent trial in severely vitamin D deficient Asians living in New Zealand revealed a modest improvement of their insulin sensitivity after six months of vitamin D supplementation
DIABETES AND METABOLIC SYNDROME
•In one trial, 243 patients with depression and low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (mean 19 ng/mL [47 nmol/L]) were randomly assigned to vitamin D supplementation (40,000 int. units weekly) or placebo [ 95 ]. After six months, there were no differences in depressive symptom scores
NEUROPSYCHIATRIC
FUNCTION
• Vitamin D– Reducing fracture risk in Osteoporosis
• In postmenopausal women: vitamin D 800 IU + calcium 1200 mg daily
• In premenopausal women and men: vitamin D 400 to 600 IU + calcium 1000 mg daily
– Falls• Vitamin D supplementation (700 to 1000 Units/day)
reduces the risk of falls in elderly
– Cancer: Not recommended– Infectious diseases: Not recommended– Autoimmune diseases: Not recommended– Cardiovascular diseases: Not recommended

ANTIOXIDANT
VITAMINS
vitamin A,
Vitamin c
Vitamin E
systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials of antioxidant supplements for the prevention of
gastrointestinal cancers found no decreased risk with supplementation
vitamin A consists of
• mostly found in animal sources of food• the form supplied by most supplements• Source: liver, kidney, egg yolk, and butter• absorption and storage of preformed vitamin A
(eg, in animal liver or dietary supplements) is efficient, and toxicity can occur if excessive quantities are ingested.
preformed vitamin A (retinol)
• found in plants• There are many forms of provitamin A, but beta-
carotene is only one that is metabolized by mammals into vitamin A.
• Source: in green leafy vegetables, sweet potato and carrots
• metabolism of provitamin A (beta-carotene) into active vitamin A is a highly regulated step, so excessive intake of vitamin A from plant sources is very unlikely to cause toxicity
provitamin A carotenoids
(beta-carotene and
others)
DEFICIENCY • it is still the third most common nutritional deficiency in the
world
• night blindness, complete blindness, and advanced stages of xerophthalmia occur in many malnourished children and adults
• ) • xerophthalmia can also be seen in resource-rich countries in
patients with disorders associated with fat malabsorption, such as cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, cholestatic liver disease such as primary biliary cholangitis, small bowel Crohn disease, and pancreatic insufficiency

Clinical manifestations
Xerophthalmia
Poor bone growth
Impairment of the humoral and cell mediated immune
system via direct and indirect effects on the phagocytes
and T cells
Periodic supplementation is recommended for populations endemic for vitamin A deficiency, at the
following doses (where 1 microgram retinol = 3.3 international units)
supplements should be provided as frequent small doses not exceeding 10,000 international units daily or 25,000 international units, given weekly for a
minimum of 12 weeks during pregnancy until delivery
chronic ingestion of large amounts of synthetic (or "preformed") vitamin A (about 10 times higher than the
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), or about 50,000 international units )
metabolism of provitamin A (beta-carotene, from plant sources) is highly regulated, so excessive ingestion of this
form of vitamin A is very unlikely to cause toxicity.
As an example, individuals who ingest large amounts of provitamin A (from plant sources) may develop yellow-tinged skin (carotenemia) without developing vitamin A
toxicity
Treatment of vitamin A toxicity consists of stopping vitamin A supplements and restricting vitamin A-rich foods (especially sources of pre-formed vitamin A, such as liver, kidney and egg
yolk).
Benefit of vit A
Cancer
Diets rich in beta carotene appear to be associated with lower risks of cancer. However, clinical trials of beta carotene supplementation have not confirmed a beneficial effect, and some suggest that beta carotene supplements may modestly increase the risk for lung cancer, but not other cancers.
Another study showed an increase in both prostate cancer incidence and mortality (23 and 15 percent, respectively) among subjects randomized to β-carotene [41]. The excess risk appeared to resolve over time once supplements were stopped
There is currently no strong evidence that vitamin A and
carotenoid supplements reduce the risk of cancer.
Cardiovascular disease
Randomized trials of vitamin A and β-carotene have shown no benefit for primary or secondary prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD)
Immunity
Vitamin A improves immunity in children living in developing countries where dietary intake is inadequate and life-threatening infectious diseases are common
Fractures
Women in the highest quintile of total vitamin A intake had a relative risk for hip fracture of 1.48 compared with women in the lowest quintile.
Thus, patients should be cautioned against diets high in retinol (preformed vitamin A), especially if they have other risk factors for osteopenia, and should avoid vitamin A supplements, including multivitamins containing preformed vitamin A, if their dietary intake is high.
Vitamin C
• found in citric fruits and many types of vegetables. • Vitamin C may have a minor role in preventing the
common cold, specifically for persons involved in high-intensity physical activity in extreme cold climates.
common cold,
• Large randomized trials have found no reduction in cancer in patients given vitamin C supplementation cancer
• Randomized trials have shown no benefit of vitamin C for primary or secondary prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD)
Cardiovascular disease
Kidney stones
Vitamin C increases urinary oxalate excretion and may increase the risk of kidney stones.
Vitamin E
SOURCES
alpha-tocopherol
•abundant in olive and sunflower oils, and is the predominant form in the European diet•The primary bioactive form of vitamin E•Alpha-tocopherol has eight isomers, but only four of these (RRR-, RSR-, RRS-, and RSS-are efficiently maintained in human plasma
Gamma-tocopherol
•is abundant in soybean and corn oil, and is common in the American diet.
RRR-isomer (formerly and incorrectly called D-alpha-tocopherol) is the only form found in foods; it is sometimes known as "natural source"
vitamin E.
Many synthetic vitamin E supplements or fortified foods contain all the eight isomers of alpha-tocopherol; these are known as "all racemic" or "DL" alpha tocopherol, and have
approximately half of the activity of "natural source" vitamin E
Synthetic vitamin E contains seven other isomers (termed "all-racemic vitamin E" or
DL-alpha-tocopherol), and has lower activity and possibly more toxic potential
than the RRR-isomer. ).
1 mg RRR-alpha tocopherol = 1.47 international units "natural source" vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) = 2.2 international units "all
racemic" vitamin E (DL-alpha-tocopherol).
ACTIONS of Vitamin E as alpha-tocopherol)
works as a free radical scavenger,
vitamin E are independent of the antioxidant/radical scavenging activity, including inhibition of cell proliferation, platelet aggregation, and monocyte adhesion
Deficiency of vitamin E has been connected to cardiovascular events
, trials of vitamin E supplementation (which typically use "all-racemic" vitamin E) have generally shown no effect in prevention of
heart disease
Like other fat-soluble vitamins, bioavailability of alpha-tocopherol depends upon physiologic mechanisms for fat digestion and absorption.
This process requires lipolytic function of pancreatic enzymes
REQUIREMENTS
daily allowance (RDA) for vitamin E is 15 mg of dietary alpha-tocopherol per day for adolescents and adult men and women
This is the equivalent of 22 international units of RRR-alpha-tocopherol (the form that is supplied by some
supplements and is marketed as "natural-source" vitamin E), or 33 international units of all-rac-alpha-
tocopherol (the synthetic form used for the majority of supplements)
The recommended UL is 1000 mg of alpha-tocopherol daily (approximately 1,500 international units of natural source or 2,200 international units of synthetic vitamin E) for adults without fat malabsorption or other cause of vitamin E malabsorption.
We do not recommend supplementation near this level except when necessary to correct a deficiency state.
Most studies suggest that pharmacological doses of vitamin E supplementation in doses of 100 to 400 international units (67 to 272 mg RRR-alpha tocopherol) per day are safe for most patients
). Vitamin E supplementation with a dose ≥400 IU/day was associated
with a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality
The benefit of vitamin E supplementation in pharmacologic doses on cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, dementia, and liver disease (such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) continue to be evaluated.
Effective serum vitamin E level = Alpha-tocopherol / (cholesterol + triglycerides)
A normal ratio is >0.8 mg alpha-tocopherol/gram total lipids.
Overview of dietary trace minerals
•minerals that are required by adults in amounts greater than 100 mg/day or make up less than 1 percent of total body weight
Macrominerals
•defined as minerals that are required in amounts between 1 to 100 mg/day by adults or make up less than 0.01 percent of total body weight

Ultra-trace minerals
CHROMIUM
• — In 1957, a compound extracted from pork kidney was termed "glucose tolerance factor" because it corrected hyperglycemia in rats
• Glucose tolerance factor was ultimately found to be chromium (Cr).
. Cr supplementation in DM patients improved glucose tolerance and respiratory quotient, which indicates a
preference for fat metabolism and reduced utilization of carbohydrates as an energy source

dietary reference intake
— The adequate intake of Cr for adults is 20 to 35 mcg per day
There is little evidence to support Cr
supplementation in individuals without Cr
deficiency.
COPPER
• The variability in the copper content of food reflects the variability in the copper content of soil.
• The acidic environment in the stomach facilitates solubilization of copper by dissociating it from copper containing dietary macromolecules
Risk factors for Copper deficiency
Foregut surgery, including gastrectomy or gastric bypass
Premature infants receiving milk formulas without adequate copper supplementation
Chronic diarrhea or other malabsorptive conditions including celiac disease
Chronic peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis
Excessive zinc ingestion
The RDA for copper is 340 mcg daily for young children and rises to 900 mcg daily for adults [
The UL is 1 mg daily in young children and 10 mg daily for adults
IODINE
• dietary importance of iodine lies in the metabolism and homeostasis of the thyroid gland
• Iodine deficiency is associated with goiter, hypothyroidism, mental retardation, and increased neonatal and infant mortality.
The RDA for iodine is 90 mcg daily for children 1 to 8 years old, 120 mcg for children 9 to 13 years,
and rises to 150 mcg daily for older adolescents and adults.
During pregnancy and lactation, the RDA is 220 and 290 mcg daily, respectively
IRON
• Body contains3.5 gr iron ( 2.5 gr founfd in Hgb)• Mostly stored as ferritin or hemosiderin in liver , spleen ,BM,
hepatocyte• Despite RBC turnovering , Iron stores are well preserved as
iron is recovered• Only 0.5-1 mg / day is lost and more during mense &
pregnancy • 10% of Iron from diet is absorbed so we need 10 – 12 mg
iron /day• GI absorption is increased to 3- 5 fold during Iron deficiency • Animal sources( hem iron ) absorbed better than nonhem
Choice of preparation• Ferrous fumarate – 33 % Fe• Ferrous sulfate 20 %• ●Ferrous gluconate – 11%
There is no evidence that one of the above iron preparations is more effective than another for this purpose.
A large number of other oral iron-containing preparations and nutritional supplements are available, including the heme iron polypeptide Proferrin. They are generally more expensive than those described above and may not have been subjected to randomized clinical trials in patients with iron
deficiency. Some (eg, enteric coated, sustained release preparations) may be both
more expensive and poorly absorbed.
Accordingly, we do not recommend their use.
MANGANESE
• Meat, fish, poultry, dried fruit, and nuts are good sources of manganese, but absorption is very variable
Dietary sources —
•high dietary intakes of calcium, phosphate, and fiber
Absorption is decreased
•in the setting of iron deficiency
Absorption is icreased
Deficiency leads to poor growth, decreased fertility, ataxia, skeletal deformities, and abnormal fat and carbohydrate metabolism
• Manganese deficiency in humans is very unusual, but has been reported in individuals on a highly restricted diet.
— The recommended intake for manganese is expressed as an Adequate Intake (AI), because of the limited data available to
determine the population needs
The tolerable upper limit for manganese is 2 mg daily in toddlers, and up to 11 mg daily for adults
SELENIUM
•Seafood, kidney and liver, and meat are good sources of selenium source
•associated with skeletal muscle dysfunction and cardiomyopathy and may also cause mood disorders and impaired immune function , macrocytosis, and whitened nailbeds [
Deficiency
•(TPN) were historically not supplemented with selenium. Several cases of selenium deficiency in chronic TPN users have been reported with cardiomyopathy and skeletal muscle dysfunction
potential roles
• A number of studies have shown a linear relationship between selenium deficiency and a reduction in CD4 cell counts in HIV-infected patients
• Natural killer cell activity is enhanced when selenium is supplemented in the diet of selenium depleted individuals
Immune function
• studies support a possible relationship between Se and cancer mortality
• As a result, a number of studies have investigated the role of selenium supplementation for prevention of cancer
Cancer• In theory, the antioxidative effect protects lipid
membranes, inhibits oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein, and suppresses platelet aggregation
Cardiovascular disease
• — Animal models suggest that low doses of selenium may improve glucose metabolism,
• clinical studies in humans suggest that selenium supplementation does not confer benefit and may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes
Glucose metabolism
supplementation may be beneficial for individuals with low selenium intake, but could be detrimental to those with normal or high selenium intake
Selenium toxicity occurs with excess dietary intake, either through diets naturally high in selenium or "megadose" supplementation
The RDA for selenium is 20 mcg daily for young children,
rising to 55 mcg daily for adults
ZINC
• In 1961, a link was established between zinc deficiency, endemic hypogonadism, and dwarfism in rural Iran
• zinc deficiency may significantly increase the incidence of and morbidity and mortality from diarrhea and upper respiratory tract infections
• Meat and chicken, nuts and lentils are excellent sources
Along with iron, iodine, and vitamin A, zinc deficiency is one of the most important micronutrient deficiencies
globally
Deficiency
• Mild dietary zinc deficiency impairs growth velocity while severe depletion of zinc leads to growth retardation.
• Other clinical manifestations of zinc deficiency include delayed sexual maturation, impotence, hypogonadism, oligospermia, alopecia, dysgeusia (impaired taste), immune dysfunction, night blindness, impaired wound healing, and various skin lesions
• zinc deficiency, have been described in chronic diseases such as malnutrition, malabsorption syndromes (such as chronic inflammatory bowel disease), prolonged breastfeeding,pregnancy, elderly individuals with poor diet quality & gastric bypass for obesity and TPN
In these cases, the dietary zinc deficiency may have been exacerbated by medications that increase urinary losses of zinc,
including thiazides, loop diuretics, and angiotensin receptor blockers.
Zinc supplementation in diabetic patients may improve immune function, but also increases the HbA1c levels and leads to
worsening glucose intolerance
Zinc has also been used to treat the common cold, but probably has little
clinical value.
Zinc supplementation during pregnancy for women with mild zinc deficiency appears to promote fetal growth and reduce the risk of premature birth and
infant diarrhea
Mild zinc deficiency appears to be common, especially in developing countries. Individuals in developing countries are at risk of zinc deficiency because the diet is relatively low in zinc and contain significant amounts of phytates (which reduce zinc absorption
There is some evidence supporting the role of zinc supplementation to increase growth velocity in children, and several studies have suggested a benefit of zinc supplementation in children with acute diarrhea in developing countries
rising from 3 mg daily in early childhood to 8 mg daily for adult women, and 11 mg daily for adult men. Requirements are slightly higher during pregnancy and lactation
Nutrient-Nutrient Interaction In Multivitamin Supplements
do the nutrients in multivitamin/mineral supplements interact in any way that could damage (or maybe enhance) their
efficacy in the body?
• It sounds convenient to take one dose of a multivitamin a day and be done with it.
• However, doing so would actually work against your efforts to cover all your bases on vitamin and mineral needs. This is because several micronutrients impair the uptake of other micronutrients.
• You could say that they essentially cancel each other out. • But few supplement companies will actually educate you on this
fact. Instead, they prey on the consumer’s wish for convenience and create products based on convenience, not science.
• producing multivitamins that are devoid of critical micronutrients or in far too inadequate doses to be of any real benefit.
• Copper and zinc are chemically similar to iron. Since absorption is a process dictated entirely by chemistry (charge, molecular shape, etc.), copper, zinc, and iron all share similar absorption mechanisms.
• receptor has been shown to be involved in the absorption of not only iron, but also copper and zinc - although with different affinities for each mineral.
• Studies have shown that it has the highest affinity for iron. • So what does this mean on a nutritional level? If these nutrients
were to be taken at the same time, its likely that some nutrients will be left out unabsorbed and, effectively, useless to the body.
• The acidic environment in the stomach facilitates solubilization of copper by dissociating it from copper containing dietary macromolecules
• Deficiency neurologic manifestations include ataxia, neuropathy, and cognitive deficits that can mimic vitamin B12 deficiency
• Hematologic features of copper deficiency include anemia (usually microcytic) and neutropenia
• If iron supplements are given, these can worsen copper deficiency because excess iron competes with copper and decreases net copper absorption
Iron, Copper & Zinc
• It is suggested that supplemental iron (38-65 mg/day), but not dietary levels of iron, may decrease zinc absorption and substantially impact copper absorption.
• Similarly, competition studies have shown that high levels of zinc and copper may interfere with iron uptake.
• While some data suggests that zinc has no effect on copper absorption when given as a one-time mixture, clinical study has noted that taking large quantities of zinc (50 mg/day or more) for several weeks significantly impact copper bioavailability.
• It is thought that high zinc intake induces the production of a copper-binding protein, which “traps” the mineral and prevents its absorption
• Magnesium and manganese, two common minerals found in multivitamin supplements, also interact with iron.
• Magnesium may decrease non-heme iron absorption if the two nutrients are taken together.
• Calcium is suggested to decrease non-heme iron absorption when both are consumed at the same meal. This may only be a problem in those who are initially iron-deficient, suggests the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
• If you are iron-deficient or think you are at risk for deficiency, the NIH recommends to “minimize this interaction by separating your intake of calcium and iron.”
Iron, Calcium, Magnesium & Manganese
• Vitamin C, an antioxidant found in all of our tested multivitamins, is suggested to enhance non-heme iron absorption when both nutrients are eaten together, according to the CDC.
• Vitamin A – beta-carotene, specifically - also appears to enhance iron absorption, according to the National Institutes of Health. It is suggested to move iron from its storage site to red blood cells, where it is used to build hemoglobin. However, studies suggest that vitamin A is unlikely to enhance iron absorption in those who have adequate levels of vitamin A; it is more likely to improve iron status in those with low levels of vitamin A.
Iron & Vitamins C and A
• According to “An Evidence-Based Approach to Vitamins and Minerals,” vitamin A (in high doses) may reduce absorption of vitamin K.
• Nutrient interactions can vary in nature; that is, affecting absorption may not be the only way in which vitamins can influence the activity of other vitamins.
• As it turns out, vitamin E has a similar overall effect on vitamin K as does vitamin A, although not by inhibiting its absorption. Vitamin E achieves functional vitamin K deficiency by inhibiting the activity of vitamin-K dependent enzymes – effectively rendering vitamin K useless, even if it is absorbed
Vitamin A, E & K
• Zinc can inhibit amino acid uptake! • Since it’s important to take a multivitamin with a meal, such
as breakfast, a multivitamin that includes zinc could interfere with your body’s ability to take up the amino acids from the protein you consumed at breakfast. And that could interfere with muscle growth
• Zinc also interferes with copper uptake. Copper is something that you do want in your multivitamin.
• Zinc induces the intestinal synthesis of a copper-binding protein called metallothionein. Metallothionein traps copper within the cells in the intestines and prevents its absorption into the bloodstream
• iron interferes with zinc absorption,• you should skip the zinc until another time of day
Calcium is another big problem in multivitamin supplements
• Calcium interferes with zinc, iron and manganese absorption
• So these two minerals, calcium and magnesium, should also be completely absent from your multivitamin and be taken separately at another time of day.
Phosphorus is a fourth mineral that you do not
want in your multivitamin. The typical diet is already quite rich in phosphorus.
Having it in your multivitamin may raise
phosphorus levels too high
problematic because it can prevent the conversion of vitamin D to its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, in the kidneys.
Missing Multis
Another problem with most multis is that they completely skip out on some critical micronutrients altogether such as
vit K , iodine, chromium,copper
• . Recent research suggests that far more people are deficient in vitamin K than originally believed.
• Research also shows that supplementing with vitamin K2 alleviates the symptoms of vitamin K deficiency and provides a host of health benefits, including protection against heart disease and cancer, enhanced brain function, skin health, boosting testosterone production and promoting the formation of bone
vit K
• Another missing or under-dosed micronutrient in many multis is iodine, which is critical for maintaining healthy thyroid function
• So if your multi is not proving you iodine at 100% of the DV or RDA, then it’s a problem
iodine
• usually absent or severely under dosed.• This is problematic because most diets are quite
low in chromium• You could take a separate chromium
supplement, but this is one of the minerals that is best to get in your multivitamin.
• That’s because chromium uptake is enhanced when it’s taken at the same time as vitamin C, which should be in your multi.
chromium
• another mineral often missing completely or present in an adequate amount.
• Since higher intakes of zinc can lead to copper deficiency, and you should be certain to get 30 mg of zinc daily (separate from your multivitamin),
• Evidence suggests that you should get copper and zinc at a 1:10 ratio for optimal health.
• Since you should be getting in 30 mg of zinc each day, your multivitamin should provide a full 3 mg dose of copper
Copper
Vitamin and Mineral Dusting
• Vitamin K, iodine, chromium, copper, selenium and the B vitamins are all typically under dosed, if included at all, in most multivitamins.
• Other minerals that are also usually under dosed include selenium, molybdenum and manganese.
• These minerals and vitamins should at the very least provide 100% of the Daily Value (DV) or RDA for them.
Wrong Form
Most multis also use cheap, ineffective, or even potentially dangerous forms of certain vitamins and minerals
• Vitamin A is often provided in multivitamins mainly as preformed vitamin A (retinol) in the form of retinyl palmitate or retinyl acetate.
• These forms are rapidly absorbed, but slowly cleared from the body, which can lead to toxicity and liver problems if too much is consumed.
• Beta-carotene, on the other hand, is a much safer form of vitamin A to take as it only becomes active vitamin A when needed in the body.
• To avoid possible vitamin A toxicity, your multivitamin should provide all of its vitamin A from beta-carotene.
vitamin A
• K1: comes from plants, specifically green leafy vegetables, such as lettuce and spinach, as well as broccoli. Although this form of vitamin K is fine, it is not that necessary in a multivitamin since few people are vitamin K1 deficient.
• K2(menaquinone): comes from fermented products, such as cheese & fermented soybeans.
Vitamin K
. While both vitamins K1 and K2 appear to be involved in blood clotting, K2 provides benefits that go far beyond that.
Research suggests that being deficient in vitamin K may lower testosterone levels
The body requires so little vitamin K1 that just about everyone gets enough from their diet. Vitamin K2, on the other hand is required at a
much higher dose and provides more benefits
dietary requirement vit K , expressed as adequate intake (AI) is 90 micrograms daily in
women and 120 micrograms daily in men
• another mineral that is typically given in a cheap, less-effective form, such as chromium chloride
• Chromium picolinate is a combination of chromium and picolinic acid. The addition of the picolinic acid enhances the uptake of chromium.
Chromium
• Many companies will try to tell you that methylcobalamin is the best form of B12 to use. While this is one of the active forms of B12, it just one of the active forms.
• There are two active of forms. The other active form of B12 is adenosylcobalamin, also known as dibencozide.
• While some multivitamins provide both of these, the problem is the stability of these active forms.
• There is evidence that they are not very stable and therefore, do not provide the actual dose of B12 listed on the label.
• The only way to consume a stable form of B12 that is readily converted to both methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin in the body is by taking the cyanocobalamin form of B12.
vitamin B12

REPORTED INTERACTIONS
Coenzyme Q10
Various degrees of myopathy, myalgia, and rhabdomyolysis have been reported in statin-treated patients, and it is possible that these conditions are related to decreased muscle coenzyme
Q content.

Lutein
• Lutein is called a carotenoid vitamin. It is related to beta-carotene and vitamin A. Foods rich in lutein include broccoli, spinach, kale, corn, orange pepper, kiwi fruit, grapes, orange juice, zucchini, and squash. Lutein is absorbed best when it is taken with a high-fat meal.
• Many people think of lutein as “the eye vitamin.” They use it to prevent eye diseases including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, and retinitis pigmentosa.
• Some people also use it for preventing colon cancer, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
• Many multivitamins contain lutein. They usually provide a relatively small amount of 0.25 mg per tablet.
