First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study is testing the safety of fisetin, a natural compound found in fruits and vegetables, in 5 older adults with mild Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment. Participants will take fisetin daily for a period, and researchers will monitor for side effects. The goal is to see if it is safe enough to study further for possible benefits.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a safe supplement to ease symptoms or slow decline in early Alzheimer's.
