Studies Show Brain Loss Reverses with Acai Berry


In an ground-breaking study that is sure to kick off additional investigation, studies showed that matured laboratory rats that ate a diet overloaded with the acai berry compound pterostilbene and performed superior than those in the collection of animals that did not eat the enriched acai berry diet.

Pterostilbene inverted quantifiable harmful things that cause aging on brain function and behavioral performance.

The study was broken down into two sections which could if pterostilbene was actually effective in reversing the age of the mature rats.

The first part of the study dealt with testing seven different compounds in a cell culture where they determined that pterostilbene was the most effective in hindering oxidative stress.

For the subsequent measurement of the study, they fed elderly rats one of the following criteria: a control diet or a control adjusted diet to comprise of either small or high concentrations of pterostilbene.

The results were that the mature rats who had high doses of pterostilbene were successful in turning back aging symptoms such as a decline in cognitive skills as well as improved memory skills that were all linked to the compound pterostilbene.

The study results are the latest in a series of cell culture and animal model studies in print in the last decade that shed light on the associations linking an assortment of nutritional workings of brain function at the same time as aging.

The studies also show that not only is acai berry found this compound, but also other berries.

There are no governmental standards on how to consume acai berry extracts-Like vitamin C, it should be consumed in small amounts.

The study was published recently in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
