The report, available this month in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, increases questions about recommendation regularly given to females to take a multi-vitamin. Though, the research is not an arbitrary clinical trial, it’s not clear if multi-vitamin use add to a female’s breast density. It may be that the type of female who takes multi-vitamins is more probable to have other risks factors connected to dense breasts.

Breast density describes the relative amount of different tissues present in the breast. A dense breast has less fat than glandular and connective tissue. On a mammogram, a dense breast looks mostly white, whereas a fatty breast looks dark gray.

The findings don’t mean that females using multi-vitamins should discontinue taking them, chiefly if their doctors have prescribed the supplements. Though, females with dense breasts should be alert of it and seek customary mammograms and perhaps additional ultrasound scans. A current study showed that using ultrasound (USG) with mammography helped doctors spot appreciably more breast cancers in high risk females with dense breasts but also consequence in 4 times as many fake alarms.
