Vitamin E & B can significantly slow Alzheimer\'s progression

(2014-01-16 08:47:57) 下一個
Yesterday, I told you how vitamin E can significantly slow Alzheimer's progression.

But that's not the only vitamin that can help beat back AD.

Previously, Oxford researchers showed that B vitamins can slow down the shrinkage of your brain volume. They believe the key is homocysteine, the harmful amino acid that B controls.

In a recent trial, the Oxford team gave B vitamins to subjects with mild cognitive impairment and elevated homocysteine.

The results? Positively stunning.

The authors write... "B-vitamin treatment reduces, by as much as seven fold, the cerebral atrophy in those gray matter regions specifically vulnerable to the AD process."

And here's all it took to achieve this remarkable effect...

* Vitamin B6 -- 20 mg per day
* Folic acid -- 800 mcg per day
* Vitamin B12 -- 500 mcg per day

As we age, our homocysteine level tends to rise. So if a good B complex isn't part of your daily regimen, add it today.

To Your Good Health,

Jenny Thompson
