This study was undertaken with the objective of assessing whether the ingestion of a Multivitamin
Complex with Calcium and Magnesium would be efficacious in reducing stress. Tlrree hundred
subjects who were suffering from stress were selected in Gauteng and Kwa-Zulu Natal, South
Africa. The selection was based on a stress questionnaire. The subjects took a battery of tests
and questionnaires to assess the level ofthe stress they were experiencing. A 30 day supply of
effeiVescent tablets was given to all subjects - half placebos and half the vitamin supplement.
These were randomly allocated. At the end of30 days a further battery oftests were
administered. The results were statistically analysed. It was found that both the placebo and the
vitamin supplement proved beneficial but the Multivitamin Complex with Calcium and Magnesium
had a greater effect in reducing and helping to manage stress. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
