A new study found that older adults who take a daily multivitamin may see improvements in memory and a slowing of cognitive decline.
Taking a daily multivitamin supplement may improve memory and slow cognitive decline in aging adults, according to a new study.
The results could have major implications for the millions of Americans who are suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
The study, published Thursday, is the third in a series conducted under the COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS), a large, nationwide clinical trial testing cocoa extract and multivitamin supplements to see if they can improve cognition and decrease the risk of Alzheimer's.
In two prior studies, the group found daily multivitamins did have a positive effect on cognition. The current study combines a study of more than 500 participants with meta-analysis of data from more than 5,000 participants.
