Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Except for conditions (osteoporosis, pernicious anemia, iron deficiency anemia, and myelin degeneration) that result from a confirmed deficiency in vitamins or minerals, oral and parenteral supplements are not usually recommended. Specific conditions such as pregnancy and athletic performance increase the demand for some of these elements and benefit from diet supplements. In addition, there is mounting evidence that adult vitamin supplements may be beneficial in preventing cancer (prostate, vitamin E), minimizing the toxicities of chemotherapy (vitamins A, E, C), and bone demineralization (elderly, vitamin D).
