Taking a multivitamin every day for two years appears to slow some markers of biological ageing – albeit to a small degree, research suggests.
While chronological age is based on how long a person has lived, biological age reflects the state of the body. Estimates of the latter are often based on changes in patterns of DNA methylation – modifications to DNA that accumulate with age and affect how genes function.
One theory is that by slowing the rate of biological ageing, it may be possible to prevent or mitigate age-related illness, meaning people have more years of good health.
