Multis Boost Brain Function in Kids

March 2009

Daily supplements of multivitamins and minerals may support healthy brain function in children, according to a new study from British and Australian researchers. Researchers from Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK, in collaboration with scientists from Swinburne University in Australia, recruited 81 children (average age 11) to participate in the randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel groups investigation. Participants were randomly assigned to daily multivitamin and mineral supplements or placebo for 12 weeks. Cognitive performance was measured using a battery of laboratory assessments. Measures were taken before the study, after one and three hours after the first dose and after 12 weeks. Researchers noted support for healthy brain function in the children taking supplements after only three hours after the first dose on the first day.
