Study Shows Calcium and Vitamins Reduce Breast Cancer Risk

Breast Cancer Risk was found to be reduced by 30-40% in individuals taking vitamins and calcium supplements.  This was the conclusion of a study reported at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research in April of 2010.

Participants in the study who took vitamins were shown to have a 30% lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who did not take vitamins.  And those who took calcium were shown to have a 40% lower risk compared to those who did not supplement.

This is not an immediate result, but rather the results of taking supplements over long periods of time.  You can read the full study here:  AARC Breast Cancer Study.

My recommendation is always to look for high quality, pharmaceutical grade supplements if you are considering a change to your health maintenance.  These types of supplements will absorb better in your body (compared to store bought vitamins and popular multi-vitamins) and are generally manufactured using superior ingredients.
