People might joke about having "senior moments," but behind the nervous laughter is the worry that something might be "disconnecting" up top! A nutritional supplement might boost your brain power."What we're trying to do is to test to see if the Cerefolin NAC, which is a combination of high dose B vitamins and an antioxidant, will help to replace some of the antioxidant capabilities that the body is losing," said Geriatrician Dr. Raj Shah.
As we age, antioxidant production drops and may allow damaging proteins to build-up in the brain. Researchers say taking a multi-vitamin plus the supplement Cerefolin NAC might boost brain power.
"It'll be interesting to see if the combination of those two agents together seem to bring a little bit more benefit than just the B vitamins by themselves," said Dr. Shah.
Whether the supplement actually helps is still up in the air. More than five million people in the united states are living with Alzheimer's.
