22 claimsOlder adults who took daily multivitamin supplements for two years aged more slowly at a cellular level, with an effect roughly equal to reducing their biological age by about four months.
3 backing sources
A large randomised clinical trial measured the biological age of nearly 1,000 healthy adults aged around 70 using blood samples to analyse age-related DNA changes known as methylation.

Participants who took the multivitamin experienced slower ageing across all five DNA-based ageing measures compared with those taking a placebo.

Open Questions
5 questionsWhat specific dietary regimen slows brain ageing by more than two years, as mentioned in the GB News report?
What are the clinical outcomes (e.g., disease incidence, mortality) associated with the slowed biological ageing observed in the multivitamin study?
How long do the benefits of multivitamin supplementation on biological ageing persist after stopping the supplements?
What is the optimal dosage and formulation of multivitamins for slowing ageing, and does it vary by individual factors?
What are the mechanisms by which vitamin D influences tau protein levels in the brain to potentially protect against dementia?
