Supplements Found to be Ineffective
Do not use beta-carotene or vitamin E supplements as the primary way to prevent cardiovascular disease or cancer.
That’s according to new recommendations from the United States Preventive Services Task Force.
The group says beta-carotene may actually increase the risk for lung cancer among those who are at risk for the disease.
The task force also found that vitamin E is not effective in preventing heart disease or cancer.Â
