Vitamin B may slow the progression of memory problems

A new study shows large doses of vitamin B may slow the progression of memory problems in older people.

Researchers found the vitamin helped the brains of people over 70 not shrink as quickly.

Experts say brain shrinkage is one of the factors that can lead to dementia.

Experts aren’t exactly sure why the vitamin has a positive effect, but they say it may be because it helps the body produce red blood cells.
