Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Vitamin B12 may help people lower their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Orlando, Florida (CaymanMama.com) — In the never-ending search for an end to the mentally disabling Alzheimer’s disease, a new study has been released that indicates that large doses of ordinary vitamins may eliminate the inevitable memory problems, as per a research study on mice with the rodent equivalent of the disease.
To date, there is still no cure for Alzheimer’s and there is no known conclusion as to whether or not the treatment will effect humans the same as it did on the mice.
According to HealthDay News, researchers are starting to analyze Alzheimer’s patients to participate new study, though scientists are not prepared recommend that Alzheimer’s patients try the vitamin on their own outside of standard doses.
Kim Green, a researcher at the University of California at Irvine, said “it’s definitely promising, and if we combine this with other things already out there, we’d probably see a large effect.”
At present, there is no known cure for the neurodegenerative condition. Medications on the market for the disease only provide limited benefits.
Green and colleagues evaluated nicotinamide, a form of Vitamin B3 normally found in pork, peanuts, turkey, chicken, veal, fish, salmon, swordfish, tuna and sunflower seeds.
Dr. Ralph Nixon, vice chair of the Alzheimer’s Association Medical & Scientific Advisory Council said that “previous research has suggested that vitamins such as Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Vitamin B12 may help people lower their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.”
