The combined effects of L-theanine and caffeine on Cognitive performance and mood. - Source: Nutritional Neuroscience, Aug 2008.
Research replicates previous evidence suggesting that in combination caffeine and L-theanine – an amino acid known for ability to enter the brain and support reduced mental & physical stress/relaxation - support improvements in speed, accuracy, and focus in Cognitively demanding tasks that are superior to improvements achieved with caffeine alone. It’s a combo most commonly found in green tea. - Source: Nutritional Neuroscience, Aug 2008. |

What initiates the formation of senile plaques? The origin of Alzheimer-like dementias in capillary hemorrhages - Source: Medical Hypotheses, Sep 2008
The proposal that plaques form at the sites of bleeding from the brain's tiny blood vessels explains many things: e.g., why oxidative stress/cardiovascular disease are associated with Alzheimer's, why antioxidants and other vascular-protective factors protect against dementia.

Cardiorespiratory fitness and brain atrophy in early Alzheimer disease - Source: Neurology, July 2008
Increased cardiorespiratory fitness is linked to less brain atrophy in early Alzheimer disease and may moderate a common underlying process that affects both brain atrophy and fitness. [Source: Neurology, July 2008] |

Ionophore compound (PBT2) reverses Alzheimer’s within days in mouse models - first human trials also promising
Australian brain research collaborative reports that an ionophore compound (PBT2), fed to mice in special tomatoes, reversed Alzheimer's by detoxifying beta-amyloid plaques of zinc and copper, causing the plaques to disperse very rapidly. And recent clinical trials in human AD patients have been promising. |
