Antioxidant supplements to prevent mortality

Goran Bjelakovic et al. JAMA. .

Abstract

Clinical question: Are antioxidant supplements associated with higher or lower all-cause mortality?

Bottom line: Antioxidant supplements are not associated with lower all-cause mortality. Beta carotene, vitamin E, and higher doses of vitamin A may be associated with higher all-cause mortality.
