A daily affordable multivitamin may help reduce memory loss in individuals aged 60 and older, according to research from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Columbia University.
The study, which was published on Wednesday in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, is the second multivitamin clinical study to reach the same conclusion as part of the COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS), a larger body of research examining the health effects of specific dietary supplements.
When compared to a group that took a placebo, those taking multivitamins demonstrated an estimated 3.1 fewer years of memory loss. In terms of memory function, the multivitamin group was, on average, 3.1 years “younger” than the placebo group.
Participants who were randomly assigned to multivitamin supplementation performed much better on immediate recall of words after one year compared to the placebo group, and they maintained this advantage for an additional two years of follow-up.
