The Claim
Daily supplementation with Centrum Silver multivitamin-mineral for three years improves episodic memory and executive function in adults aged 65 and older, with mean improvements of 0.06 standard deviations in both domains compared to placebo.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Adults aged 65 and older who take Centrum Silver multivitamin-mineral daily for three years have higher episodic memory and executive function scores than those who take a placebo, with an average improvement of 0.06 standard deviations in both areas.

Taking a daily multivitamin fills in missing vitamins and minerals that are too low in older adults, which helps brain cells make energy better, reduces harmful chemical buildup, and strengthens connections between brain cells, leading to better memory and clearer thinking.
