Choi YH, Miller JM, Tucker KL, Hu H, Park SK
Published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Key Findings
Combined high intake of beta-carotene or vitamin C with high magnesium was associated with better high-frequency pure-tone averages.
Conclusions
Antioxidant plus magnesium intake may act synergistically to protect hearing, on cross-sectional evidence.
Supplements Studied
High intakes of beta-carotene or vitamin C combined with high magnesium compared with low intakes of both nutrients were significantly associated with lower (better) PTAs at high frequencies.
