Key Points: When most people hear “creatine,” they think of bodybuilders and athletes looking to enhance their performance. This naturally occurring compound has been a staple in fitness communities for decades, primarily known for improving muscle strength and exercise capacity. But what if this same supplement could help power something even more important—our brain cells?… Continue reading Creatine Supplement Improves Memory in People with Alzheimer’s: New Pilot Study

New Study Finds Midlife May Be a Critical Window to Prevent Brain Aging
Key Points: A landmark study from Mujica-Parodi and colleagues of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, published in PNAS, suggests that brain aging follows a distinct, non-linear trajectory, beginning in people’s 40s. The researchers also unveiled a correlation between neuronal insulin resistance—where cells begin to lose the ability to use glucose—and the… Continue reading New Study Finds Midlife May Be a Critical Window to Prevent Brain Aging
Blocking NAD+ Breakdown Improves Brain Fitness and Cognition, New Study Shows
Key Points: Brain aging is intricately linked to immune system aging, whereby a compromised immune system disrupts brain function, leading to cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, about 30 years ago, making this link amongst neuroscientists and immunologists would have had you laughed out of the room. It wasn’t until 1998… Continue reading Blocking NAD+ Breakdown Improves Brain Fitness and Cognition, New Study Shows
Accessing Technology that Reduces Alzheimer’s Memory Loss by 52%
Key Points: The results of a Phase II clinical trial, published in Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy, reveal that 52 weeks of TMS treatment mitigates cognitive decline, independence loss, and behavioral disturbances in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. With no serious side effects associated with the treatment, this approach is more effective and safer than the drugs… Continue reading Accessing Technology that Reduces Alzheimer’s Memory Loss by 52%
Age-Reversal Tech Protects Against Neurodegeneration in Latest David Sinclair Study
Key Points: We age because our organs stop working, and our organs stop working because our cells stop working. Our cells stop working for many reasons, chief among them being chronic low-grade inflammation. Aging is characterized by inflammation accompanied by cell dysfunction, organ dysfunction, immune system decline, and age-related diseases. The term “inflammaging,” describing the… Continue reading Age-Reversal Tech Protects Against Neurodegeneration in Latest David Sinclair Study
Latest Study Finds Recommended Vitamin B12 Dose Is Wrong: How to Get Enough
Key Points: A total of 231 healthy older adults with “normal” blood B12 levels were enrolled in a new study published in the Annals of Neurology. In the study, researchers from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) found that normal B12 levels were associated with neurological deficits such as impaired processing speed. These findings… Continue reading Latest Study Finds Recommended Vitamin B12 Dose Is Wrong: How to Get Enough
Neurodegeneration Reversed with mTOR Inhibitor Drug in New Alzheimer’s Study
Key Points: Today there are nearly 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common form of dementia. AD is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S., suggesting that halting its progression could prolong the lifespan of millions. Rapamycin, usually prescribed to prevent kidney transplant rejection, is now being explored for… Continue reading Neurodegeneration Reversed with mTOR Inhibitor Drug in New Alzheimer’s Study
The Dementia Surge: New Study Projects Cases to Double by 2060
Key Points: As lifespans increase, so does the shadow of dementia, a condition that strips away memories and cognitive function, affecting millions worldwide. Once considered an inevitable consequence of aging, dementia is now recognized as a pressing public health challenge with far-reaching social and economic implications. In a new study published in Nature Medicine, researchers… Continue reading The Dementia Surge: New Study Projects Cases to Double by 2060
Scientists Reveal How to Slow Brain Aging with Senolytics
Key Points: Aging is an inevitable process, but its effects on cognitive health are not solely determined by the passage of time. Emerging research highlights the critical role of the immune system in maintaining brain health. As published in Neuron, Professor Michal Schwartz and her team suggest that rejuvenating the immune system may hold the key… Continue reading Scientists Reveal How to Slow Brain Aging with Senolytics
Ergothioneine Longevity Supplement Enhances Verbal Memory
Key Points: The quantity of people living with dementia globally is over 55 million, a number larger than the population of South Korea. An early sign of dementia is mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition characterized by impaired memory and thinking. Thus, preventing or reversing MCI can potentially prevent the occurrence of dementia. As published… Continue reading Ergothioneine Longevity Supplement Enhances Verbal Memory
