Summary

Micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, are required to sustain fundamental physiological processes in individuals. As individuals age, the risk of having suboptimal levels of micronutrients increases due to several age-related changes affecting their digestion and assimilation processes. Suboptimal levels of micronutrients have been associated with increased risk of chronic diseases and accelerated ageing. Three years intake of a multivitamin and mineral supplement (MVM) improved global cognition, episodic memory and executive function in older adults. Furthermore, suboptimal micronutrient levels have been associated with a higher biological age, and diet and lifestyle interventions might lower the biological age measured by methylation clocks. Therefore, further evaluation is warranted to determine if MVM supplementation could improve the biological age and clinical outcomes in individuals with a higher biological age.

Conditions

  • Relatively Healthy Volunteers

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Multivitamin/Mineral supplements

Each participant will be given 180 MVM tablets in bottles at baseline visit, and another 180 tablets at 6-month visit. Participants will be advised to take 1 tablet orally daily, in the morning before food. Participants will be asked to return the remainder of dispensed MVM tablets, along with the bottle when they come for visit 2 and visit 3. This is done for investigational product accounting and checking for adherence to the assigned treatment arm.

OTHER

Placebo

Each participant will be given 180 placebo tablets in bottles at baseline visit, and another 180 tablets at 6-month visit. Participants will be advised to take 1 tablet orally, daily, in the morning before food. Participants will be asked to return the remainder of dispensed placebo tablets, along with the bottle when they come for visit 2 and visit 3. This is done for investigational product accounting and checking for adherence to the assigned treatment arm. The placebo pills and bottles will be identical in appearance as MVM to ensure effective blinding.
