A 1998 ''[[British Medical Journal]]'' article examined some of Rath's and Health Now's claims in support of Rath's multivitamin supplement blend.<ref name="bmj">{{cite journal |vauthors=Tröger U, Meyer F | title = Validity of advertising claims for multivitamin preparation Vitacor 20/90 on the internet | journal = BMJ | volume = 317 | issue = 7165 | pages = 1069–71 | year = 1998 | pmid = 9774300 | pmc = 1114069 | doi=10.1136/bmj.317.7165.1069}} – article also [http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/317/7165/1069 available online] in its entirety.</ref> The authors found that Rath listed 40 citations to support his product but that only eight of them were of actual clinical trials. After examining these clinical trials, the authors concluded that despite Rath's claims to the contrary, "no general clinical benefit of vitamins C and E and carotene can be proved from the works cited by Health Now."<ref name="bmj"/>
