Strange Yellow Dye STOPS Alzheimer’s
New Alzheimer’s statistics are out, and they’re NOT good.
From 2013-2017, the number of Americans between 30-64 diagnosed with early-onset dementia or Alzheimer’s spiked 200 percent.
That’s shocking not just in how many people are being diagnosed… but in how young the people are.
Needless to say, the race is on to find a cure for Alzheimer’s.
And researchers have found that a compound used to dye wool, leather, and wood can STOP this devastating disease in its tracks.
Berberine is a compound that’s found in a variety of plants. It was used as a dye in the past because of its bold yellow color.
But berberine supplements have plenty of medicinal properties as well—and the latest benefit to add to the list is its positive effect on the brain.
A study published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine that reviewed 15 animal studies on berberine and Alzheimer’s showed that berberine had multiple memory-improving activities.
In addition, berberine:
- Lowers inflammation, the root cause of memory problems
- Has antioxidant properties that shield your brain cells
- Prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter essential for good memory
- And it has anti-amyloid properties, which prevents the growth of Alzheimer’s-causing plaques.
The more we learn about Alzheimer’s, the more we see that the most effective treatments will likely be ones that address the condition from multiple angles.
Berberine’s multiple benefits fit the bill and is a promising treatment worth exploring in human clinical trials.
You can get berberine supplements from your local natural health store. Just check with your naturopathic doctor to get the proper dosage.
