TREATMENTS FOR NEURODEGENERATION
Currently, many research studies are looking into how Myricetin can help treat or slow the progression of Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, and Dementia by reducing the cognitive decline associated with these diseases.
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), also called Somatomedin C, is a polypeptide hormone similar to insulin. IGF-1 plays an important role in promoting tissue growth and can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). . Reduced IGF-1 levels are generally shown to cause dysregulation of neurovascular systems (Gubbi et al., 2018). IGF-1 can be a potential intervention for brain remodeling and aging in future.
BPC-157 is a potent peptide that has a wide range of effects on the body. Research has shown that it can be used to treat many different pathologies across the body. BPC-157 could be one of the major keys to unlocking longer life and healthy aging as it combats neurocognitive diseases.
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, or EDTA, is the leading method for lead detoxification. However, the benefits of EDTA go beyond metal poisoning therapy; cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases are just some of the ailments that have been correlated with elevated metal toxicity.
Description goes hereAs a treatment, immunoglobulin (gammaglobin, or IgG) comes in an intravenous form (IVIg) and contains the polyspecific IgG of several thousand plasma donors. Its benefits come from how it targets detrimental inflammatory responses (Hartung et al., 2009). While the majority of IVIg research has historically focused on its autoimmune effects, more recent studies have been focusing on neurological ailments of the nervous system.
ARA290 may be efficient for treating other neuroinflammatory diseases (Chen et al., 2014; Liu et al., 2014, Robertson et al., 2013) and may be able to modulate cognitive functions (Cerit et al., 2015; Seeger et al., 2011).
SUPPLEMENTS FOR BRAIN HEALTH
Vitamin D3 is naturally produced by the skin upon exposure, and it can also be obtained through diet and supplements (Arnarson, 2018). This vitamin can cross the blood-brain barrier, which is significant in its impact on maintaining healthy brain function.
Fucoidan is a complex polysaccharide found in brown algae, seaweed, seagrasses, and echinoderms (Tello, 2020). This natural supplement is being widely researched and used due to its beneficial properties to the brain and body; these include antioxidant, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and neuroprotective effects (Luthuli et al., 2019).
DHEA has been extensively studied and is demonstrated to be useful for depression (Peixoto et al., 2014), while some studies also provided evidence for the efficacy of DHEA for schizophrenia (Strous et al., 2003) and dementia (Wolkowitz et al., 2003). With these emerging evidence, DHEA may be a useful brain supplement to improve brain health and functions.
MEDICATIONS FOR BRAIN HEALTH
Metformin, a biguanide, is a well-documented drug used commonly in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus for over half a century. Though we have been using this drug for almost 60 years, new actions continue to be discovered, broadening the range of conditions where Metformin could be used.
FOODS FOR BRAIN HEALTH
Kefir is a traditional fermented dairy beverage originating from the Caucasus mountains. It is composed of many important probiotic bacterial strains that confer psychobiotic effects (Bourrie et al., 2016; Tillisch et al., 2013). These psychobiotic effects may stem from the ability of kefir to modulate the microbiota gut-brain axis, and influence neurological functions and cognition (Van De Wouw et al., 2020).
ALZHEIMER’S THERAPIES
Women make up the 2/3 of the population affected by Alzheimer’s disesase, most probably due to estrogen loss during the menopause transition state. Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT) has been offered as a preventative, if not treating, solution for protecting the brain against changes associated with estrogen deficiency.
