We all want to keep as much of our brain as we age. Good News. There does seem to be something you can do for a shrinking brain. Thanks to Dr. Painter for the following information:
The researchers followed 107 community-dwelling volunteers, aged from 61 to 87 years old, over a 5-year period. Their clinical findings were based on testing their blood vitamin levels, and looking at pre- and post-MRIs exams of the brain of all participants.
The study revealed those participants who had the lowest levels of B vitamins in their blood also experienced the most brain atrophy (brain shrinkage) and were also the most likely to develop cognitive impairments. [1]
This is another great reason for taking a well designed B complex like Shaklee’s.
Shaklee B vitamins are designed to be absorbed by your digestive systems. So few manufacturers ever do absorption studies, and the recent Landmark Study [2], and the NHANES database they used for comparison, both demonstrated that B vitamin levels were very low, even in the group who took other supplements.
Only the group taking Shaklee’s B Complex maintained high blood levels. They were also the only group to have normal readings in blood tests normally used to diagnose disease, such as homocystine levels, or C Reactive Protein.
Be Smart,
Caroline
