Neurological damage linked to Alzheimer’s may be repaired with dietary supplementation

( Natural News ) Is it really possible to mitigate and even reverse the damaging effects of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia through simple dietary supplementation? According to new research out of Denmark , it certainly is. Professor Vilhelm Bohr and an international team of scientists hailing from the Center for Healthy Aging at the University of Copenhagen and the American National Institute of Health found that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, also known as NAD+, helps to clear up congestion of tau proteins in nerve cells and minimize DNA damage, among other benefits. Using a mouse model that mimicked the features of Alzheimer’s disease in humans, Prof. Bohr and his colleagues added a substance to the rodents’ drinking water that stimulated increased production of NAD+ in their cells. Those mice that received the supplement, resulting in increased NAD+ levels inside their bodies, experienced improvements in various markers associated with brain health. These included improvements in the activity and reorganization of the mice’s brain cells, as well as increased production of new nerve cells from stem cells. The supplement also resulted in less damage to and fewer dead nerve cells. “Our study shows that the brains of the mice during the three-month period where they received the compound showed fewer of the characteristics associated with Alzheimer’s disease,” Prof. Bohr reported about his team’s findings, noting that the supplement both prevented and removed existing damage to DNA in the hippocampus regions of the mice’s brains.
