Alzheimer’s disease affects five million Americans annually, and a new case is diagnosed every 66 seconds. Recently, in a large nationwide clinical trial, high-doses of resveratrol stabilized the disease and kept it from progressing. Resveratrol is a compound that promotes resilience to stress. For example, some plants exposed to a cold or fungus increase resveratrol levels to protect themselves. While additional testing will need to take place before doctors start recommending resveratrol supplements, this recent study has developed a promising lead for scientists focused on Alzheimer’s disease.*
Resveratrol can be found naturally in red wine, peanut butter, blueberries, raspberries and dark chocolate. Resveratrol supplements are thought to support endurance, protect eyesight and increase mental sharpness.
