According to Centrum, the COSMOS trial results suggest that taking Centrum Silver multivitamins daily may help support cognitive function, memory. Is this backed by ALZ?
Hi ndoner, Thanks for your question. We are not medical experts and cannot provide medical advice, but I was curious about this study and looked into it a bit. According to this abstract that is posted on the Alzheimer's Association's website (https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/alz.1276), the cocoa extract that was a part of the COSMOS trial did not significantly improve cognition for the trial's participants but that, as you suggest, taking a multi-vitamin mineral can potentially help support cognitive function.

I would say, whatever OTC vitamins should be checked with your LO’s doctor. They should be doing blood tests at checkups. My mom’s B12 ended up being high, so I quit giving it to her. Blessings, Kathy M team member.
