Taking a daily multivitamin may slow down biological ageing, a study has suggested. Experts calculate that taking daily vitamins for two years cuts biological ageing by about four months on average.
Biological ageing refers to how old the body is in terms of health and function rather than the number of years a person has lived.
Previous studies on the use of multivitamins and health have given mixed results, with one large study in 2024 showing no benefit when it comes to preventing early death and others showing they may have some effect.
