A daily multivitamin and mineral supplement with added herbal ingredients may boost alertness and feelings of ‘general day-to-day well-being’. Multivitamins The new study follows hot on the heels of a report in Psychopharmacology (doi: 10.1007/s00213-011-2481-3) from the same researchers, which indicated that a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement with added herbal ingredients may boost memory in older women, but no effects were seen for other mental processes. Multivitamin and mineral supplements are the most frequently used supplements in industrialised countries, where there is a common belief that they ensure an adequate nutrient intake, and boost overall health. Most multivitamins contain a wide spectrum of nutrients, including antioxidant vitamins, B vitamins, and minerals such as magnesium and selenium – all of which have been inversely related to heart disease by previous research. The supplement used in the Australian study contained vitamins, mineral, antioxidants, and plant extracts. Pipingas and his co-workers recruited 50 men aged between 50 and 69 and randomly assigned them to receive the multivitamin supplement or placebo for eight weeks. The effect of the supplement on mood and stress was assessed using a range of questionnaires, and results showed improvements in the multivitamin group according to the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS), but no benefits were recorded using the Perceived Stress Scale and Profile of Mood States. Significant improvements in alertness were also reported by the researchers. Explanations? Commenting on the potential mechanism, the researchers said that a number of different nutrients contained in the supplement have previously been linked to mood. These included vitamins C and D, and the herbal ingredients ginseng, ginkgo biloba and gotu kol. “In the present study, the participants were instructed to maintain their usual diet but no record of habitual intake was taken,” explained the researchers. “We cannot rule out the possibility that these effects may have been more pronounced in individuals who routinely consume a diet low in vitamins and minerals (or indeed less evident in those with higher intakes). “Furthermore, the sample was relatively small; a larger study is required to confirm and possibly strengthen the present findings.” Source: Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental Published online ahead of print, doi: 10.1002/hup.124 “The effect of multivitamin supplementation on mood and stress in healthy older men” Authors: E.

Regular consumption of a vitamin D-fortified yoghurt drink may improve cholesterol levels and markers of blood vessel functioning in diabetic people. D deficiency The researchers noted that low vitamin D status is known to affect the inner lining of blood vessels (endothelial cells),eventually leading to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. In addition they noted that people with diabetes are known to have an increased risk of heart disease. The researchers suggested that endothelial function “may therefore be the focus of preventive efforts against both diabetes and its fatal complications.” They noted that by improving vitamin D status in diabetic people, it may be possible to improve endothelial biomarkers, possibly reducing the risk of heart disease.

Probiotic bacteria strains tailored to express produce conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) may be able to modify fat tissues, and could play a role in the prevention and treatment of obesity, according to new research in mice.

Differences in the production of bacterial strains may change the potentially probiotic properties of resulting food, says a new study from Finland that ‘sets important prerequisites for quality control in probiotics’.
