"Daily Fiber Supplement Enhances Brain Function in Older Adults"

A twin study conducted by researchers at King's College London suggests that taking daily protein and prebiotic supplements, such as inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS), can improve memory test scores in people over 60. The supplements were also linked to changes in the gut microbiome, particularly an increase in beneficial Bifidobacterium. This finding holds promise for enhancing brain health and memory in the aging population, and supports the growing evidence of the close relationship between the gut and the brain. While the study shows potential for treating cognitive decline, further research is needed to determine the sustained effects and broader applicability of these supplements.
