The role of multivitamin and mineral supplements in supporting health and well-being: a retrospective cross-sectional study in Taiwan
This study provides real-world evidence that MVM supplements are widely perceived to support youthful vitality, immunity, general health, and QoL. These user-reported outcomes complement existing clinical research by highlighting benefits experienced in everyday settings, especially among daily users and those aged 50 and above. The high satisfaction and trust levels observed further reinforce the relevance of MVM supplements as a self-care strategy. By bridging the gap between controlled trials and consumer experience, this study adds valuable context to the science and recommendation of micronutrient supplementation.
