Study in Nature Medicine Finds Taking Centrum Silver Daily May Slow Biological Aging
WARREN, N.J.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--A new ancillary study published in Nature Medicine shows that Centrum Silver may slow biological aging markers.
The findings come from an analysis of data from a randomized clinical trial, the COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS), designed to evaluate how daily multivitamin use may influence biological aging over time. Biological aging refers to how well the body is functioning at a cellular level and may add important information about health span than chronological age alone. Led by researchers at Mass General Brigham and Augusta University, this study looked at five DNA-based epigenetic clocks to see how a daily multivitamin might influence healthy aging in healthy older adults.
COSMOS represents the first and only reported, large-scale randomized controlled trial that examined the effect of a daily multivitamin and cocoa extract supplementation on biological aging using epigenetic clocks, which assess tiny changes in DNA that shift naturally as people age and can be used to estimate aging and age‑related risk patterns.
