Multivitamins aren't a miracle cure, but they can act as a "dietary insurance plan" to help you fill in the gaps with your eating habits. Especially if you have certain food allergies, dietary restrictions or medical conditions that impact how and what you eat.

The study, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, looked at data collected from over 3,500 older adults, ages 60 and older. The researchers randomly assigned participants with either a daily multivitamin supplement (they used Centrum Silver) or a placebo.  

At the end of the one-year mark, those taking the multivitamin had significantly better scores on a test evaluating immediate recall than the placebo group. This was also shown across the three-year follow-up mark. But interestingly, there were also improvements seen in individuals with heart disease.

At the start of the study, participants with a history of heart disease scored lower on memory tests compared to those without heart disease. But after just one year of taking a daily multi, individuals with a history of heart disease saw significant memory improvements compared to those without the disease.
