Remember to Take Vitamin E

Researchers at Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich, Germany might have identified how vitamin E protects the brain against Alzheimer's disease. Using mouse brain cells, the researchers found that both synthetic and natural vitamin E showed antioxidant effects in protecting brain cells from oxidative damage caused by the amyloid beta protein, hydrogen peroxide, and other compounds that accumulate in the brains of Alzheimers patients. Vitamin E also induced nerve cell survival mechanisms, thus exhibiting a neuroprotective effect.
