Experts Advocate Supplements to Lower Dementia Risk

Health experts are increasingly emphasizing the role of specific supplements and diets in reducing the risk of dementia. Dr. Michael Mosley advocated for vitamin D, which may help clear harmful proteins from the brain, potentially delaying dementia onset; he personally recommends taking 25 mcg daily, supplemented with vitamin-rich foods. Parallel research highlighted the Mediterranean diet, linking it to a 23% lower risk of dementia, even among genetically predisposed individuals. Dr. Ahmed Abd Elbary suggested magnesium and creatine monohydrate as essential supplements, claiming they may enhance cognitive function and reduce Alzheimer's risk. While the benefits of these supplements and dietary patterns are promising, further research is needed for definitive conclusions. Overall, these findings underscore the importance of nutrition and supplementation in dementia prevention strategies.
