- This simple amino acid supplement greatly reduces Alzheimer’s damage
A new study suggests that arginine, an inexpensive amino acid, can help fight Alzheimer's disease by reducing toxic amyloid proteins in the brain and improving behavior. Researchers found this effect in animal models where oral arginine lowered harmful protein deposits and reduced brain inflammation. The discovery offers a potential simple compound to combat Alzheimer's.
