| Plain
English Summary: |
This
research study examined the effect of an oral multivitamin
supplement on psychological wellbeing and functioning.
Male participants who were free of chronic medical
problems were given either a multivitamin or a placebo
during the course of 28 days. Participants were not
aware of which supplement they were taking, whether
it was the placebo or the multivitamin. At the conclusion
of the study, those participants who had taken the
multivitamin had reported a significant reduction
in anxiety and stress levels. They also reported improved
concentration and less fatigue. Those patients who
were taking the placebo continued to report body pains,
such as nausea and headaches, associated with anxiety
more often than those taking the multivitamin. |
