A study involving over 3,500 older adults has found that daily multivitamin supplementation can slow down age-related memory decline. The effect was particularly strong among those with cardiovascular conditions. The research emphasizes the importance of good nutrition for brain health in aging, although supplements should not replace a balanced diet and medical advice should be sought before starting a regimen.
Taking a daily multivitamin may help slow age-related memory decline, a study has found.
Over 3,500 adults aged 60 and above participated in the study, taking either a daily multivitamin or a placebo for three years. The results showed that those on multivitamins experienced memory improvement equivalent to about three years of age-related memory decline.
