Daily multivitamins linked to slower cellular aging in seniors
TL;DR Summary
A two-year randomized trial of nearly 1,000 healthy older adults (average age ~70) found that daily multivitamin-mineral supplements slowed cellular aging by about four months, as measured by five epigenetic clock biomarkers. The effect was modest, and researchers caution that it’s not yet clear how this translates to real health outcomes; further studies are planned to assess clinical benefits.
