Fisetin for Neuro-Protection

Fisetin is a unique polyphenol flavonoid that has demonstrated a high level of neuro-protection along with improvement of memory. A standardized extract of fisetin is now undergoing extensive scientific studies by the Salk Institute for Biological Studies to prove its value for general brain health. A patent has already been issued, entitled "Methods of Using Flavonoids to Enhance Memory." It appears that fisetin is another useful nutrient tool in the preservation of cognitive well being.

The Liver as a Source of Alzheimer’s Plaque

Cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s are associated with an abnormal accumulation of amyloid beta protein fragments that form plaque in the brain. Amyloid beta is made in your brain and taken down as part of normal function. It is well understood that excessive brain inflammation can lead to excessive amyloid beta production. A new study shines another light on this issue, proving that excess amyloid beta can also be produced by your liver and travel to your brain, contributing to the problem.

Carnosine Inhibits Excess Amyloid Beta Formation

Researchers have found that the antioxidant and metal-chelating nutrient known as carnosine can drastically reduce the formation of amyloid beta protein that is associated with the brain tangles of Alzheimer’s disease.
