Preliminary results of a randomized study with adult patients older than 65 years. The researchers found that over a 3-year period of treatment, patients who received multivitamins such as vitamin B12, folate, vitamin D, and other micronutrients reduced fared better than those who received placebo. Investigators estimated that multivitamins were slowing cognitive aging by 60% over the span of the study, reducing cognitive aging by 1.8 years.

The subgroup of patients with a history of underlying cardiovascular disease appeared to have a particularly strong benefit from multivitamins.

If the findings are confirmed, multivitamin supplementation may become a simple, safe, and accessible intervention to protect brain health in older adults.
