“Across three COSMOS cognitive substudies, a daily multivitamin produced a modest average benefit in global cognition and episodic memory among older adults. In the observational VITAL cohort, lower magnesium intake was associated with higher pancreatic-cancer incidence.”

“A small randomized trial also found that regular didgeridoo practice improved daytime sleepiness and reduced the apnea-hypopnea index, illustrating how upper-airway muscle training may help some patients alongside established sleep-medicine care.”

“Neurological benefits: Alzheimer's disease: Improves cognition, strengthens blood-brain barrier, reduces amyloid-beta and tau. Parkinson's disease: Decreases dopamine cell loss, reduces inflammation, improves motor function, reverses depression and anxiety behaviors.”

“Artificially modulating those rhythms through modification of light exposure can normalize circadian rhythms and improve cognitive performance in older adults and oxygen saturation and weight gain in infants.”

“Consuming chocolate and cocoa may carry some risks, however, due to their cadmium content and possible effects on the fetus during pregnancy. In this Aliquot, I describe some of the research on the benefits and risks of consuming cocoa and chocolate, as foods or supplements.”

Dr. Layne Norton ranks creatine, rhodiola, and ashwagandha by evidence for performance, cognition, stress, and recovery.

“Vascular dysfunction, the loss of normal endothelial tone and permeability of blood vessels, is a common feature of most forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. People who carry the APOE4 gene are at greater risk for vascular dysfunction and Alzheimer's disease.”

“Dr. Montagne's animal research demonstrated that blocking cyclophilin A partially restored vascular function and cognition, suggesting that targeting the blood-brain barrier could be a promising avenue for Alzheimer's treatment.”
