Study Suggests Daily Multivitamins May Slightly Slow Biological Aging Process
Summary
A study suggests that taking daily multivitamins for two years may slightly slow the biological aging process, though the effect is small and a healthy lifestyle remains essential.
Key Points
- Taking daily multivitamins for two years may slightly slow biological aging by about four months.
- The study involved 958 healthy elderly participants with an average age of 70 years.
- Biological age was measured through DNA methylation using epigenetic clocks.
- Researchers emphasize that multivitamins have a small effect and do not replace a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
