The Study
The research tends to go back and forth on the necessity
of taking a multivitamin. In this interesting study, over 900 participants from
Harvard’s COSMOS randomized trial took a multivitamin (Centrum Silver) for 2
years and had measures of biological aging (DNA methylation) taken at the start
and end of follow-up.
By the end of the study, there was a small but significant difference in biological aging for subjects taking the multivitamin.

While this is
preliminary research, it is pretty exciting to see evidence that taking a
multivitamin every day can slow down the effects of aging on our bodies. Stay
tuned for more definitive research on this subject.
