Researchers often study the effects that different vitamins and supplements have on the body. However, there has not been much research done regarding multivitamins that contain a mixture of supplements. However, that is soon changing.
In various studies led by Dr. David O. Kennedy the role that multivitamins play within the human body was considered. Across these studies both men and women were observed over a period of 8-12 weeks, as well as children between 8-14 years of age. All subjects benefited from the multivitamin supplementation, but in different ways. Men generally showed improvement on cognitive tasks while women gained increased accuracy and speed on multitasking efforts. Most children showed increased accuracy in attention-based tasks.
In the study, multivitamins were proven to boost brain functions in all participants. By the completion of the study, researchers were able to link the usage of multivitamins’ with increased cognitive performance after only a few weeks of supplementation.
“A vitamin deficiency predisposes you to diseases related to having too little of that vitamin…there are people out there deficient in each vitamin group. But since most people don’t know which vitamins they’re missing you should take multivitamins to bridge the gap and patch up whatever you’re deficient in.”
These findings add to the evidence that multivitamins offer significant benefits to individuals and are important in bridging the gap between vitamin deficiencies and sufficient amounts of the fore mentioned. Individuals should take multivitamins in order to “patch up what [they are] deficient in.”
