Summary

This study looked at whether taking a daily multivitamin and omega-3 supplement (Kids Plus Multi & Omega) can improve thinking skills in children ages 4 to 17. Over 49 days, 120 kids took either the supplement or a placebo gummy and completed cognitive tests. The goal was to see if the supplement group showed greater improvements in memory, attention, and other brain functions compared to the placebo group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: multivitamin and omega-3 supplement (Kids Plus Multi & Omega)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could suggest that a daily multivitamin with omega-3s may help support children's thinking and memory skills.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed trial with only 120 children, and the results may not apply to all kids. Dietary supplements often show little to no benefit over placebo in well-designed studies.
