Lisa Te Morenga: Professor at Massey University’s Centre for Public Health Research and Nutrition on research finding multivitamins may slow biological ageing

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

New research suggests daily multivitamins could slow biological ageing.  A clinical trial in the US found slower changes in the DNA based epigenetic clocks of older adults who take multivitamins.   It suggests that simple nutritional interventions could potentially influence the body’s ageing process.  Professor at Massey University’s Centre for Public Health Research and Nutrition, Lisa Te Morenga told Mike Hosking it’s not a magic pill.  She says the effects so far are quite tiny, and there’s no evidence yet that multivitamins actually help you live longer, it's just changing things they believe are associated with living longer.   LISTEN ABOVE   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
