NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – High doses of vitamin D could help improve memory, but would result in a slow reaction, according to a new study by scientists at Rutgers University.
The new study involved women aged 50 to 70, divided into three groups. Women in the first group received 600 IU of vitamin D daily for one year.
In the second group, women took 2000 IU of vitamin A per day and the third group, 4000 IU per day.
The researchers found that taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D a day improved the cognitive abilities of the study participants, as the results of memory tests, concentration and attention were improved.
At the same time, the researchers noted a slow reaction. Women who took 4,000 IU of vitamin A had a slower reaction.
"This slowness in the middle and the elderly is a serious problem, affecting the body's necessary responses to a simple job, including walking and the ability to grasp anything that is thrown at them," say the researchers. .
