Antioxidant vitamins in the news You may be aware of some stories that appeared in the national TV and newspapers this morning (Wednesday 16th April 2008) regarding research into the safety of consuming the antioxidant vitamins A, C, E and beta-carotene. Just Vitamins would like to assure you that you should still feel confident in consuming your antioxidant supplements, as this 'analysis' has been shown to be seriously flawed. The meta-research carried out focused on one broad category of study, but then evaluated just 67 of the 748 studies that could be included in the review. Therefore, the paper’s conclusions are drawn on less than nine per cent of available evidence. In no way can this review be considered comprehensive. Your safety comes first I would like to assure you that your safety is at the forefront of our thoughts, when designing, manufacturing and distributing our supplements. Our Ph.D led development team consistently reviews all published research, and would act swiftly to reformulate our supplements if there is shown to be any real danger to your health. We have always taken a highly responsible attitude towards supplementation, which includes promoting safe levels of nutrients within our formulations, and the belief that supplementation is most beneficial as part of a healthy living lifestyle. Supplementation is not a 'magic-bullet' that can undo years of unhealthy living, and we have never claimed it to be. If you would like to discuss this further with one of our experts, then please call the Just Vitamins FREE Nutrition Advice line on 024 7669 5115. Thank-you for taking the time to read this Simon Petros Managing Director Just Vitamins Ltd
