Vitamin routine linked to preserved independence in older adults

In a 3-year analysis of more than 16,000 adults aged 60 and older, those taking a daily multivitamin reported significantly better functional health than placebo, suggesting vitamins may help maintain daily independence by supporting heart health, circulation, and endurance; cocoa extract did not improve scores overall but helped participants with congestive heart failure; researchers caution that supplements are not a substitute for a balanced diet or exercise, and findings are preliminary until peer-reviewed.

Daily Multivitamin Linked to Slower Biological Aging in Seniors

A two-year, randomized analysis of 958 older adults found that daily multivitamin use slowed biological aging by about four months across five epigenetic clocks, with greater benefit for those who were biologically older at baseline. The study, part of the COSMOS trial and funded in part by Mars Edge and Haleon, does not prove a longer lifespan and experts caution that more research is needed. Diet quality and a balanced diet may be more impactful in general, and multivitamins can be costly or give a false sense of security. FDA regulation concerns and potential nutrient overdosage were noted, with a recommendation to prioritize real food for most people.

Regular Multivitamin Use May Slow Biological Aging, COSMOS Study Finds

A two-year daily multivitamin in the COSMOS study slowed aging markers on two epigenetic clocks in about 1,000 older adults, while cocoa flavanol supplementation showed no effect. The multivitamin also correlated with improvements in inflammation and cognitive function, but researchers caution that larger trials are needed to confirm clinical benefits and longevity impact.

Daily multivitamin slows ageing markers in older adults, study suggests

A two-year, randomized COSMOS trial found that taking a daily multivitamin slowed certain epigenetic clocks of ageing in people around 70, reducing biological age by about four months versus non-users; the effect was more pronounced in individuals with accelerated ageing and was observed in two of five DNA methylation clocks linked to mortality risk. While promising, the authors emphasize the effects are small and do not yet imply improved clinical outcomes.

Multivitamin use slows aging clock in seniors, study suggests

In a two-year randomized trial of 958 healthy older adults, daily multivitamins slowed biological aging by about four months (aging 20 months biologically over 24 months) as measured by epigenetic clocks, with greater benefit for those who started with accelerated aging. Cocoa extract had no effect. The researchers caution the findings don’t imply lifespan extension and results may not generalize beyond a mostly white, healthy population.
