cognitiveAt the end of a three-year trial, people who had taken a commercially available multivitamin-mineral supplement had a cognitive age that was 1.8 years younger than those who took a placebo.Advertisement
But these studies weren’t randomised, placebo-controlled trials – the best kind of medical evidence – and when such trials were done, they foundfor most healthy people. It seemed the earlier results arose because vitamin tablets are more popular with people who look after their health in many other ways.
They were then randomly chosen to take either a flavanol supplement, the combined multivitamin and mineral tablet or a placebo once daily for three years. Similar cognitive tests were repeated every year over the three years.All the groups did somewhat better, on average, after one and two years, while at three years, their scores roughly plateaued. This was probably because over the first two years people were becoming more familiar with how to do the tests, says Baker.
