Vitamin Supplements May Slow Middle-Age Weight Gain

December 2004

Middle-age adults who take chromium, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12 and multivitamins may not gain weight as fast as people who don't supplement, according to a study by researchers in Seattle. Researchers reviewed questionnaire responses from about 15,000 people, average age 55, who provided information about their use of supplements over the previous 10 years. The study concluded that the people who had taken multivitamins, vitamins B-6 and B-12 and chromium had less weight gain over the previous 10 years than other respondents. That slowed weight gain was most evident among people who had been categorized as overweight at the start of the 10-year period.
