Researchers from Memorial University (Newfoundland) found that a dietary supplement containing 18 vitamins, minerals, and trace elements helped healthy men and women age 65 and over to improve their short-term memory, problem-solving ability, abstract thinking, and attention span.  The supplement also improved immunity, reducing the rate of infection-related illness by more than 50% (as compared to those who did not take it).  This study demonstrates that people who take a daily multivitamin, multimineral supplement enhance their ability to live independently and without major disability.  The researchers also calculated that for every $1 US spent on the supplement, $28 US could be saved in healthcare costs by preventing or delaying illness and functional decline.
