You already know that certain vitamins and minerals — notably the B-group and magnesium — help to support brain health and mood.
Now a study by researchers from Northumbria University in England, published in Human Psychopharmacology, has found that taking a multivitamin supplement is also of specific benefit to the mental performance of women who multitask (and isn’t that every woman?).
In the experiment, women aged 25-50 years were given a nine-week course of either multivitamins or placebo (dummy) pills before being given a test which entailed working on several unrelated tasks at the same time.
Those women who had taken the multivitamins were less tired and irritable, and were able to perform the multitasking test quicker and with greater accuracy.
