About 50% of the Danish population take a daily multivitamin-mineral (MVM) supplement despite the demonstration that the dietary intake of vitamins and minerals is sufficient to cover the needs of most healthy Danes. This systematic review, which includes prospective studies of the significance of MVM in disease risk as well as in other somatic and mental functions in humans, does not find evidence of a beneficial effect of vitamin and mineral supplementation in the healthy Danish population.
