    New Alzheimer's Research

    While we have known for some time that polyphenols, like Resveratrol, may be able to protect the brain from Alzheimer’s disease, exciting new research is suggesting that taking long-term small dosages may be better than single, large dosages. This new research comes out of Purdue University and Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

    In most testing, animals are given a single, large dose of the polyphenols, and their levels are then measured to see how much of the chemical is reaching the brain. This new testing, however, used smaller dosages and continued to feed the animals the polyphenols over the course of the entire experiment. Incredibly, the amount of polyphenols reaching the brain increased each day. In fact, by day ten, twice as much of the polyphenols were being absorbed as compared to the first day.

    This lends credence to the belief that the best way to protect yourself from Alzheimer’s is through regular supplementation with polyphenols like Resveratrol.

    The full article will be published in the September issue of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. Check out the story here: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/08/090817143604.htm.

    Have a great day everyone and don’t forget to take your Resveratrol.
