Dietary supplement tested to fight Alzheimer's before it starts

NCT ID NCT05880849

Summary

This small, early-stage study tested whether taking a choline supplement for six months could safely change brain chemistry in people with a specific gene (APOE4) that increases Alzheimer's risk. Researchers wanted to see if choline could help fix problems with fat metabolism in brain cells, which might slow or prevent disease progression. The study involved 15 older adults who had the gene but did not yet show significant memory problems.
