Taking a daily multivitamin may slow brain aging by about two years. This has been demonstrated by the published COSMOS study. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN).
The trial involved more than five thousand people over the age of 60 who took a nutritional supplement containing cocoa extract, a 30-ingredient multivitamin, or a placebo. A separate study in a group of 573 people found that taking a daily multivitamin was associated with improved thinking and episodic memory (the ability to remember events in one’s own life and their details (place, time, people involved, etc.). Cognitive ages were an average of two years higher than those taking a placebo. He was years younger.
The authors noted that they did not investigate whether a healthy lifestyle would have the same effect. In all cases, older people are advised to have a varied diet, social and physical activities, and solve mentally challenging problems. If a person feels like they’re not getting the nutrients they need from their diet, a multivitamin may be helpful.
