For years, people have debated whether multivitamins actually do anything for your health.
New research suggests they might.
In a large randomized clinical trial published in Nature Medicine, researchers analyzed biological aging in nearly 1,000 older adults using epigenetic clocks. These tools measure how quickly the body is aging at the cellular level.
After 2 years, participants taking a daily multivitamin showed slower biological aging, equivalent to about 4 months less aging than in the placebo group.
The effect was strongest among participants whose biological age was higher than their chronological age at the start of the study.
Why does this matter?
Biological age reflects how quickly your body is aging internally and doesn’t always match the number of years you’ve lived. Faster biological aging is linked to a higher risk of chronic disease and earlier mortality.
While researchers say more studies are needed, the findings highlight an important idea in longevity science:
Small, consistent habits may influence how our bodies age.
At CoreViva, we measure aspects of biological aging through the CoreViva Score, a set of metrics derived from your whole-body MRI scan that evaluates how your body is aging internally.
Your CoreViva Score includes insights such as:
• Brain age and brain volume
• Musculoskeletal health, including joint age and muscle bulk
• Visceral fat surrounding your organs
These measurements provide a clearer picture of how your body is aging compared to your chronological age.
With repeat scans over time, patients can track changes in these scores and see how lifestyle habits, including nutrition, movement, sleep, and other interventions, may be influencing their biological aging.
Longevity isn’t built overnight. It’s built through understanding what’s happening inside your body and making informed choices to support long-term health.
Preventive imaging, lifestyle changes, and evidence-based interventions all play a role.
Because when it comes to your health, knowledge is power.
Know Your Body.
