Natural combo restores brain cleanup and reduces Alzheimer’s proteins | A green tea extract and vitamin B3 combo may hold the key
A green tea extract and vitamin B3 combo may hold the key to reviving the brain’s natural cleanup crew, restoring energy, clearing toxic Alzheimer’s proteins, and giving aging neurons a second wind, according to new research.
A green tea extract and vitamin B3 combo may hold the key to reviving the brain’s natural cleanup crew, restoring energy, clearing toxic Alzheimer’s proteins, and giving aging neurons a second wind, according to new research. “As people age, their brains show a decline in neuronal energy levels, which limits the ability to remove unwanted proteins and damaged components,” said the study’s lead author, Gregory Brewer, adjunct professor of biomedical engineering at UC Irvine. Studying neurons from young, middle-aged, and old mice, including a special Alzheimer’s disease (AD) model, the researchers used a fluorescent sensor to directly measure guanosine triphosphate, or GTP.
