Extracts from a traditional African tree called “False Iroko” found to be effective at treating neurodegenerative disease

Researchers discovered that the “False Iroko” tree (Antiaris africana) contains compounds that can be used to treat mitochondria-related neurodegenerative diseases. This study, which was published in the European Journal of Medicinal Plants, conducted in vitro cyanide neurotoxicity tests to determine the neuroprotective properties of different solvent fractions of A. africana. A. africana leaves were air dried […]

Supplemental nutrition found to treat brain injury better than prescriptions, and may even provide some protection against injury

Concussions are part of any contact sport. However, while most injuries are rarely fatal, these injuries may affect long-term brain function. One novel approach to recovery being looked at recently is the use of nutritional supplementation to treat sports-related concussions. In a review led by researchers from the Texas Christian University, the team pored through available information to determine […]
