Healthy Aging News and Research ⇒ New Study: 29% Improvement In Alzheimer’s Disease?!

[jocko6889]

A new human trial shows a 29% improvement in the cognitive abilities of Alzheimer's Disease patients when they were given a combination of 4 supplements, however the findings hint that this combination may have cognitive benefits for those without Alzheimer's as well.

The 4 supplements used in the trial were:

• L-Serine, 12 grams
• Nicotinamide Riboside, 1 gram
• N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), 2.5 grams
• L-carnitine, 3.5 grams

The standard approach for treating Alzheimer's has been to attempt to lower the buildup of amyloid proteins in the brain, but this approach has failed to show any cognitive benefits in human trials.

The new approach uses what are known as "combined metabolic activators". This combination could be helpful in a new theory of Alzheimer's disease, namely that Alzheimer's is closely linked to metabolic disorders, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress, all of which can lead to neurodegeneration.

The new treatment can target multiple pathways at the same time. Previous research has identified reduced glutathione levels in Alzheimer's patients and glutathione is a powerful antioxidant.

Nicotinamide Riboside or NMN increase NAD+ levels and NAD+ is central to our metabolism. Finally, L-carnitine helps with fatty acid metabolism. Combining these 4 supplements supports our metabolism at multiple different levels.

That's a very cool study. Thanks Jocko. I will print this one and bring it to my office.

Very promising research. I think they will also be useful for people who don't have the disease. Thank you for the information

Very interesting results, more than a few standard deviations.

Besides this and i assume liver benefits? what is the big deal with NAC?

Very promising research. I think they will also be useful for people who don't have the disease. Thank you for the information

Hey there mate, yes and keep shrooming its good stuff!

That is a lot of L-Serine. 12 grams. But i think that one has to get radical to combat brain impairment.
