Could a simple multivitamin sharpen your mind and lift your mood?
NCT ID NCT07740135
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking a daily Centrum Silver multivitamin for 12 weeks can improve mood and overall well-being in adults aged 40 to 60. Participants will take one pill each day and undergo EEG brain scans to measure relaxation, confusion, and arousal levels before and after cognitive tasks. The goal is to see if the multivitamin helps the brain handle mental load better and supports a calmer, clearer state of mind.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could suggest that a daily multivitamin supports emotional well-being and mental clarity in middle-aged adults.
