Daily multivitamin supplements improve memory and slow cognitive aging in older adults.
The COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS) directed by researchers at Mass General Brigham recently reported the results of a third study of cognition which focused on participants who underwent in-person assessments together with the results of a combined analysis from the three separate studies
The results of the third study confirm consistent and statistically significant benefits of a daily multivitamin versus placebo for both memory and global cognition.
According to The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition:
“The meta-analysis of three separate cognition studies provides strong and consistent evidence that taking a daily multivitamin, containing more than 20 essential micronutrients, helps prevent memory loss and slow down cognitive aging.”
It’s now important to understand the mechanisms by which the daily multivitamin provides such benefits by exploring the nutritional status and age-related factors of study participants.
