Memory boost with multivitamins: Study reveals improved cognitive function in older adults CognitiveHealth Memory Supplementation OlderAdults Multivitamins Neuropsychology Cognition Aging EpisodicMemory ExecutiveFunction AJCNutrition
By Dr. Chinta SidharthanMay 29 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers investigate whether one year of supplementation with multivitamins could improve hippocampus-mediated cognition and memory in older adults.
The Cocoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study examined the impact of multivitamin and flavanol supplements on cancer and cardiovascular outcomes in older men and women as compared to placebo. An ancillary study called COSMOS-Mind examined the impact of multivitamin supplements on cognition and compared it with the impact of the placebo.
Women below the age of 65 years and men younger than 60 years were excluded from the study, as were individuals with a history of stroke or myocardial infarction, those with a recent cancer diagnosis or other serious illnesses, unwillingness to stop consuming cocoa products, multivitamins, or specific vitamins, sensitivity to caffeine, and an inability to speak English.
COSMOS-Web also contained a novel object recognition test that measured the reaction time required during recognition trials to reject lures, which was related to the function of the hippocampal dentate gyrus. A color or directional Flanker test was also included in these neuropsychological tests.
