Vitamins and minerals improve intelligence

The intelligence of 47 6-year-old childen was measured before and after taking either a vitamins and minerals supplement, such as Pharmaton® Kiddi®, or a placebo for 8 weeks. The intelligence scores of the two groups of children did not differ significantly before they began to take the tablets. The vitamins and minerals supplement was associated with a significant intelligence score increase in children taking vitamin and mineral tablets. This graph illustrates the positive impact of taking a product such as Pharmaton® Kiddi® for a sustained period of time on the children intelligence.
