Study in journal American College of Cardiology included healthy participants that were randomized in a 1:1 fashion out of which 12,927 were assigned to vitamin D3 (at a dose of 2000 IU per day) and 12,944 to placebo or n–3 fatty acids brought oCardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke, for vitamin D3 vs. placebo, was 3.1% vs. 3.2% and 3.0% vs. 3.2%.
The VITAL trial showed that supplementation with either n–3 fatty acid at a dose of 1 g/day or vitamin D3 at a dose of 2000 IU/day was not effective for primary prevention of Cardiovascular or cancer events among healthy middle-aged men and women over 5 years of follow-up.
