Centrum study finds its supplements benefit memory in older adults

New study results from the COSMOS trial offer additional evidence regarding the benefit of Centrum Silver multivitamins on cognitive health in older adults. 

The third independent cognition trial to measure cognitive function and memory in older adults echoed previous findings of COSMOS-Mind and COSMOS-Web which all indicate that daily use of Centrum Silver versus placebo resulted in significant improvements in performance on tests measuring memory, the company said.

In addition to this new evidence, the researchers also looked at the combined data across all three of their cognition studies (over 5,000 non-overlapping participants), each of which measured cognitive function and memory among older adults in slightly different ways. The findings demonstrate the consistent benefit daily use of Centrum Silver has on age-related cognitive function and memory, the company noted. 

Backed by more than 40 years of nutritional science, Centrum continues to deliver on this legacy by providing its Silver product, placebo and packaging for the COSMOS trials.

"Daily multivitamins provide older adults with an easy and accessible way to maintain their health and cognitive functioning," said Natalie Halpern, brand director at Centrum U.S. "We are thrilled with the recent findings from COSMOS-Clinic, which showcase the true positive impact that Centrum Silver has on memory and we plan to continue to support more research to advance the science in this space."
