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.

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.
