CLINICAL UPDATE: A simple multivitamin doesnt help cognitive function, says study In the large Physicians Health Study II, over 5900 male physicians were given either a daily multivitamin or placebo for twelve years and evaluated for cognition and memory. There was no difference in cognitive function between the multivitamin and placebo groups although the authors of the paper did explicitly state that limitations of the study included that fact that doses may have been too low or the population may be too well-nourished to benefit from a multivitamin. This study also supports the conclusion that targeted supplementation may have much more clinical relevance than broad low dose blind supplementation.
