Common Supplement Linked to Better Health for Seniors in 3-Year Study
- Multivitamins combine several vitamins and minerals in one product, and understanding how formulas, doses, and quality standards differ can help you choose one that better fits your needs
- The three-year COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS) followed 16,159 adults age 60 and older and found that daily multivitamin use led to small improvements in symptoms and overall functional health
- A review of 19 studies found that memory showed the most consistent improvement, with B vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin E among the nutrients most often linked to healthier brain function
- A separate COSMOS analysis of 958 older adults found that multivitamins may slightly slow biological aging, with the greatest benefits appearing in people who were aging fastest at the start
- Whole foods should remain the main source of nutrients, but a well-made, third-party-tested multivitamin may help fill nutritional gaps when diet alone falls short
