New Study of Centrum Silver from COSMOS-Mind
Demonstrates Significant Improvements in Participants' Cognitive
Function.
WARREN,
N.J., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- New study
results released today on the large-scale, clinical trial
COSMOS-Mind, suggests that those who took Centrum
Silver demonstrated significant improvement in cognitive
function in comparison to placebo. These new findings provide
additional evidence on the benefits of multivitamin supplementation
in older adults.
Centrum, a leader in multivitamins for nearly 50 years, has a
long history of supporting research to advance the science on
benefits of vitamin/mineral supplementation. It is the most
clinically studied multivitamin brand in the world. In continuing
with this strong heritage, Centrum Silver product, placebo, and
packaging was provided in support of the Cocoa Supplement and
Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS) trial.
Cognitive health, defined as the ability to think, learn and
remember, is an essential component of our overall well-being as we
age.1 Finding a way to support cognitive function
in older adults is an important public health issue, as roughly two
out of every three Americans experience some level of cognitive
impairment around the age of 70.2 Additionally,
according to a 2019 AARP Brain Health and Dietary
Supplements survey, more than a quarter of Americans ages 50
and older regularly take supplements for their brain health,
pointing to the growing concern older adults have around cognitive
decline.
"We know that multivitamins are a practical and effective way to
complement nutrition and support general health," shared
Natalie Halpern, Brand Director,
Centrum US. "The most recent data revealed by the COSMOS-Mind Study
is an exciting and promising point on the role Centrum Silver
multivitamins can play in supporting healthy aging, especially
cognitive function."
Centrum Silver was specifically selected for the COSMOS-Mind
trial which investigated the effects of multivitamin and cocoa
flavonoid consumption on cognitive functioning in 2,262 women and
men, 65 years and older, over the course of three years. The
COSMOS-Mind team tested each participant's cognitive function via
annual cognitive assessments.3
The results of the COSMO-Mind Study show that an intervention as
simple as taking Centrum Silver could help support cognitive
function, memory, and executive function in older
adults.4* Participants who took Centrum Silver showed
significant improvement in their episodic memory – the memory that
is tied to specific events or experiences, as well as their
executive function, which includes cognitive skills needed to carry
out everyday activities as compared to placebo.5

Alzheimer & Dementia Journal can be found here.
