Popis: The primary objective of this exploratory study was to evaluate the effect of a multivitamin multimineral with phytonutrient supplement on heart health risk factors. One hundred twenty healthy adults (40-70 y) were recruited in this 8-week randomized double blind placebo control study. B-carotene, a-tocopherol, vitamin C, red blood cell (RBC) folate, B6, B12, Zn, Se content in blood were measured on Day 1, 28 and 56 and quercetin was measured on Day 1 and 56. Heart health risk factors such as homocysteine (Hcy), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), oxidized LDL (ox-LDL), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), uric acid and blood lipid profile were monitored on Day 1 and 56. Results showed that supplementation significantly improved quercetin (p=0.0047), vitamin C (p=0.0011), RBC folate (p=0.0027) and B6 (p=0.0012) status after 8 weeks of consumption. A greater decrease of Hcy (p=0.0314), GGT (p=0.0545) and uric acid (p=0.1683) was also observed. However, a lesser degree of increase of hs-CRP (p=0.2511...
