“Multivitamins have been shown to have positive effects beyond addressing nutrient deficiencies, including supporting brain health and slowing aging,” Haleon’s Centrum brand said as it shared findings from decades of research.
Centrum, a multivitamin brand of global consumer health care company Haleon, said it has compiled research results over the past 35 years and will strengthen a Korea-tailored strategy that reflects Koreans’ eating habits and nutritional status.
Park Min-seok, head of the Medical · Academic Affairs Division at Haleon Korea, said at a “Centrum Day” event in Seoul’s Myeong-dong on the 14th that multivitamin research is moving beyond correcting deficiencies toward improving quality of life and extending healthy life expectancy. “Based on our global research capabilities, we will continue to expand optimal nutrition solutions for Koreans,” he said.
At the event, the company highlighted Centrum as one of the most-studied multivitamin brands, citing large-scale human studies and long-term follow-up data.
Centrum said its research dates back to 1985, when it began studying micronutrient deficiencies in China’s Linxian region. It also cited long-term tracking of cancer incidence among U.S. male physicians conducted with the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
Park said multivitamin research is expanding into broader social value, including improved energy levels, better quality of life and reduced social costs. He added that recent work is increasingly focused on “precision nutrition” and “healthy life expectancy,” incorporating indicators such as brain health, aging biomarkers and individual lifestyle factors.
The company also presented recent research findings. In an observational study of 614 Indian adults last year, energy levels improved by about 44% after taking multivitamins, and the frequency of sick days fell by about 50%, it said.
In a health economics model study of older adults in Taiwan, researchers suggested that if multivitamin use slows cognitive decline, dementia cases could fall over the next 10 years, with potential social cost savings of about 65 trillion won.
In a Singapore study released early this year, plasma analysis of 662 middle-aged women found that low folate levels were linked to higher perceived stress, while B vitamins and vitamin D levels were associated with metabolic regulation.
In South Korea, Centrum said it will continue developing region-specific products based on research reflecting local diets and nutrient intake standards. The company said that research has informed products such as “Centrum One Day Pack.”
A Centrum official said the company will keep expanding Korea-specific data and solutions based on its global research capabilities.
