A study by the Alzheimer’s Association has revealed that a daily intake of multivitamins may slow cognitive aging for older adults. Although the results are encouraging, the Association is still not recommending the idea as studies are independent studies are yet to be conducted on larger and more diverse populations.
Results have found that taking a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement resulted in a statistically significant cognitive benefit.

Chicago/USA – Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association has published the first positive, large-scale, long-term study to show that multivitamin-mineral supplementation for older adults may slow cognitive aging.
Results from the Cosmos-Mind study of more than 2,200 older adults found that taking a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement resulted in a statistically significant cognitive benefit. Cocoa extract had no effect on cognition in the study population.
While these results are encouraging, at this time the Alzheimer’s Association is not recommending widespread use of a multivitamin supplement to reduce risk of cognitive decline in older adults. Before any recommendation, independent confirmatory studies are needed in larger, more diverse study populations. It is critical that future treatments and preventions are effective in all populations.
With confirmation, these promising findings have the potential to significantly impact public health — improving brain health, lowering health care costs, and reducing caregiver burden — especially among older adults. People should talk with their health care provider(s) about the benefits and risks of all dietary supplements, including multivitamins.
