Multivitamins could help slow down normal memory loss that comes with ageing

People taking multivitamins scored better on memory tests than others

18-Jan-2024

Key points from article :

Over 5,000 people, including in-person testing, examined the effects of daily multivitamins on memory and thinking.

People taking multivitamins showed better memory and overall thinking skills compared to those on placebo.

This suggests multivitamins might help slow down age-related memory loss and thinking decline.

This is the third major study showing similar benefits, making the evidence stronger.

Taking a daily multivitamin could be an easy and affordable way to support brain health as we age.

While encouraging, further studies are needed to confirm these findings and understand the specific mechanisms at play.

The research was carried out by Mass General Brigham and the results were published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
