Pomegranates Show Promise in Alzheimer's Treatment

A study from the University of Copenhagen reveals that urolithin A, a compound found in pomegranates, strawberries, and walnuts, can improve memory and potentially treat Alzheimer's disease symptoms by removing damaged mitochondria from the brain. While the research has shown promising results in mouse models, human clinical trials are planned to determine the effective dosage and potential preventive benefits.

Pomegranates May Hold Key to Alzheimer's Prevention and Treatment

Researchers have found that urolithin A, a substance in pomegranates, strawberries, and walnuts, can help the brain remove damaged cells in mice with Alzheimer's disease. This process, known as mitophagy, helps clear out cellular debris that contributes to neurodegenerative diseases. While promising, further studies are needed to confirm its effects on humans and determine the appropriate dosage.
