Taking vitamin B12 and folic acid for two years can improve short-term and long-term memory in the elderly, according to a new study from Australian National University Dr yanie Volcker, who is in charge of the new study, said vitamins play an important role in improving aging and mental health, helping older people maintain good cognitive ability The researchers found that the more depression the elderly had, the greater the risk of cognitive impairment in the future After 12 months of the study, there was little difference between the vitamin group and the placebo group in intelligence tests such as memory, attention and speed But two years later, older people in the vitamin group performed better on memory tests For example, when it comes to remembering a number that someone just told you, "vitamin group" obviously remembers faster and longer than "placebo group".
