Can Vitamins Help Prevent Alzheimer's Disease?
Many HSI members are well aware that an elevated level of homocysteine (an amino acid) increases the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular problems. And they also know that foods and supplements rich in vitamins B6, B12, and folate can help reduce homocysteine.
Less well known, however, is a demonstrated link between high homocysteine and an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia.
So we return to the original question: Can vitamins (specifically, the ones mentioned above) help prevent Alzheimer's disease?
