Taking supplements has been proven to lower your risk of breast cancer
Taking supplements has been found to reduce the risk of breast cancer, according to new findings.
The large population-based study, reported in the journal BMC Cancer, strengthened the case for supplementation of antioxidants in preventative health.
The results demonstrate a clear association between long-term consumption of antioxidants and reduced breast cancer risk.
The research, from Canada, links supplementation of zinc in premonopausal emen, and supplementation of multiple vitamin, beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc in postmenopausal women for 10 or more years with a lower risk of developing cancer.
Those who had supplemented zinc for 10 or more years were found to have less than half the risk of premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer, compared to the participants who did not take any supplements.
The promising results have been welcomed by Advanced Nutrition Programme, a leading supplier of nutritional supplements in the professional health and beauty sector in the UK and Ireland, which offers a high quality source of the most important nutrients which were associated with preventative effects.
