Alzheimer’s is the fourth leading cause of death in adults. Half of all patients in nursing homes, and half of all people over the age of 85 probably have it. While the cause remains largely unknown, it has been definitely linked to oxidative damage to the brain cells over a period of time.
Though there is no known cure for the Alzheimer’s disease, a number of studies have indicated certain substances can slow the progression of the disorder. There is overwhelming clinical evidence that antioxidants are effective in preventing and beating back symptoms of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Several studies suggest vitamin C supplementation seem to be associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s. It is important to take an additive-free vitamin C supplement with bioflavonoids.
Grape Seed Extract (a natural bioflavonoid) is one of the most poweful antioxidants available. It's antioxidant properties are known to be 20 t0 50 times stronger than those of vitamins C, E, and beta carotene. [Copyright © 2004 World Image Naturals, Inc. www.worldimagenaturals.com ]
