Daily multivitamin could slow biological aging in older adults, study suggests
Quick Insights
The Bottom Line
Study suggests daily multivitamin may slow biological aging in adults over 60.
AI Summary
A new study found that daily multivitamin use may slow biological aging in adults over 60, according to research highlighted by Alpa Shah, senior director for medical and scientific affairs at Haleon. Biological aging refers to how quickly a person's cells and tissues deteriorate at the molecular level, which can differ from chronological age. If confirmed, slowing biological aging could translate to improved health outcomes and potentially extend healthspan—the period of life spent in good health—rather than just lifespan. The finding adds to growing research suggesting nutritional interventions may influence the aging process at a cellular level. Haleon, which produces Centrum Silver multivitamins, funded or sponsored the study.
