Resveratrol, a compound found in red grapes, red wine and dark chocolate, may help treat Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study.
The study, published in the journal Neurology, was conducted with 119 participants, all with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's, ranging from age 50 to 90. The mean age for the resveratrol group was 70; the mean age for the placebo group was 73.
Researchers synthesized the resveratrol and, over a two-year study period, test group participants took two doses daily, equivalent to the amount found in about 1,000 bottles of red wine. The large dose was necessary because the compound rapidly metabolizes in the brain.
In addition to the difference in amyloid-beta40 levels, researchers also observed that, compared to the placebo group, the resveratrol-treated group had fewer cancers and lost weight.
The resveratrol-treated group lost more brain volume than the placebo-treated group, which researchers said was unexpected but mirrors findings from other Alzheimer's treatment studies.
Drink red wine.Woo hoo
the focus on Alzheimer’s misses the wider point
Large doses of D3 pretty much end respiratory congestion and problems.
the solution to the mystery of “will it help me” is simple.......
go to walmart and buy a 90 day supply of 5000 iu tablets and then analyze the actual results. the cost is negligible
shorter days and less daylight are coming and the presence of added D3 during those conditions will be more dramatic than if it were spring.
Very interesting. What do you suppose the losing brain volume is from? Could that possibly be a good thing?
