Multivitamin study: no cure, just knowledge for healthy adults
NCT ID NCT07145658
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a daily multivitamin called Vitals+ improves health, mood, and thinking skills in healthy adults. Thirty-seven volunteers took either the multivitamin or a placebo for 3 months. Researchers measured blood vitamin levels, cognitive function, and gut health before and after. The goal was to see if the supplement offers any extra benefit for people who are already healthy.
