Most people think there’s nothing that can be done about memory and cognitive decline with age. Or they think that it has to be hard.

🔥 But a new study (COSMOS-Mind) proved that to be wrong 🔥

This just-published study showed that older adults who took a multivitamin for 3 years showed improved cognitive function.

Here’s how the study went:

👫 2262 adults with an average age of 73 participated in the study.

🎲 Participants were randomized to take a multivitamin, cocoa extract, or a placebo daily.

🧠 Tests of cognitive function were run at baseline and after 3 years.

🍫 Results showed no effect of cocoa extract on cognitive function.

💊 Taking a multivitamin improved global cognition (an overall measurement of brain function), episodic memory (memory of everyday events), and executive function (related to self-regulation and behavior).

WOW.

These results are incredible for a few reasons:

1️⃣ This was a well-designed study that included a large number of participants tracked over time.

2️⃣ Cognitive function typically declines with age, but it was seen to IMPROVE after consistently taking a multivitamin.

3️⃣ The multivitamin used in the study was Centrum Silver. Imagine what might be possible with a professional-grade supplement?

I’m never one to say that a pill can fix anything, but I hope this new study inspires you to realize that improving your health (even with age) does not necessarily have to be hard.
