Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, is a devastating condition that affects millions of people worldwide each year.
At a time when scientists are making progress in developing reactive therapies, there is also progress in discovering what can prevent the disease.

Referring to the results of a study, the expert adds that two promising ingredients have been identified that protect against this disease – the catechins of green tea and resveratrol. They feature strong anti-plaque and functional neuroprotective properties combined with minimal neurotoxicity.
Catechins are a form of flavonoids, natural anti-inflammatory agents. They are found in green tea and are associated with cardioprotective properties.
The results of the study show that the catechins in green tea have a beneficial effect against the formation of plaque – Alzheimer’s disease occurs when these plaques accumulate in the brain, explains the expert.
