Tonawanda Memory and Cognition Boost with Multivitamin Use
The wonder of a single multivitamin each day! Not everyone likes to take a lot of pills, but taking a multivitamin supplement makes a lot of sense. It is basic and beneficial, especially in terms of delivering B vitamins which are described to help with cognitive decline and memory in older folks. Nutrition is important. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation encourages our Tonawanda chiropractic patients to show us their daily multivitamin to be sure it has all the proper minerals and vitamins!
MULTIVITAMIN BENEFIT
Multivitamin supplementation may be quite simple as well as quite effective. A new systematic review of research literature on the effects of high-dose, B-complex multivitamin supplementation resulted in backing the advantage of such supplementation in healthy and at-risk participants in terms of mental (like sensed stress, concentration, general mental health, decreased anxiety), physical, and energy outcomes. (1) Daily multivitamin use compared with placebo increased older adults’ memory. At one-year follow-up, older multivitamin users demonstrated significantly superior immediate recall. The researchers estimated that this multivitamin use enhanced memory performance by the equivalent of 3.1 years of aged-related memory alteration. That’s an important change! Additionally, the researchers recorded that participants still used the multivitamins on a routine basis: 94.4% at 6 months and 91.8% at 1 year. Not bad! It’s important to take the multivitamin daily to get the best effect. Blood samples that were obtained from a subset of participants showed increases in folate, vitamin B12 and serum 25(OH) vitamin D. One of the study’s co-authors at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston commented that “multivitamin supplementation holds promise as a safe, accessible, and affordable approach to protecting cognitive health in older adults.” Outcomes for participants with a history of cardiovascular disease were higher than those who did not. (2) Another study reported similar outcomes that taking a multivitamin for 3 years increased episodic memory, global cognition, and executive function in older adults. Those with cardiovascular disease seemed to benefit more than those who didn’t have that. (3) This is encouraging of those with cardiovascular disease to make a daily routine of taking a multivitamin with B vitamins!

WHY B VITAMINS?
The body utilizes B vitamins to create new cells, particularly red blood cells. B9 is folate, the natural form of B9 (as opposed to the synthetic version known as folic acid) the body can use in circulation. Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) is a water-soluble type of natural B9 folate. Look for these. A good multivitamin with the B vitamins may be your friend! We can talk about yours.
