Abstract
Vitamin supplements are commonly consumed by elderly patients. This article reviews the evidence behind vitamin supplementation in preventing disease states common in older age, with an emphasis on randomized controlled trials. In addition to vitamins, some commonly used supplements, such as ginkgo, DHEA, and omega-3 fatty acids, are also discussed.
