VITAL study on effectiveness of vitamin D, omega-3
Nov 29^th, 2012 at 11:50pm

I just heard on the news that they are looking for Men 50 and older and woman 55 to do a VITAL study on vitamin D, omega-3 combined.
Who is running the VITAL study?
A. The study is funded by the National Institutes of Health and is being run by Brigham and Women’s Hospital, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, in Boston, MA. But you don’t have to travel to Boston to participate. All of the study materials—the study pills and the study forms—will be mailed directly to you and we are recruiting participants from every state in the country. Participation in the study does not require any clinic visits.
I'm too young (just missed the age limit Grin

), so I can't do it!! I am already taking these because of this website (1.2.3. pain free) This is day 5 and no ch in 6 days. I love counting pf days!

I wouldn't recommend this for anybody currently taking Batch's regimen - you'd have to drop your intake of vitamin D significantly.

Q. What is the VITAL study?
A. The VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL) is a research study in 20,000 men and women across the U.S. investigating whether taking daily dietary supplements of vitamin D (2000 IU) or omega-3 fatty acids (Omacor® fish oil, 1 gram) reduces the risk for developing cancer, heart disease, and stroke in people who do not have a prior history of these illnesses. The VITAL study began sending out study information in 2010 and will continue to do so throughout 2012.
