Fracture risk reduction with multivitamin and mineral supplementation only seen in males
J Bone Miner Metab. 2015 May;33(3):294-302A total of 3,318 participants were randomized to take a daily supplementation tablet with 26 vitamins and minerals, or a placebo pill for six years. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of multivitamin and mineral supplementation on fracture incidence.
