Summary

This study tested a palm-derived supplement (HOV-12020) in 50 adults aged 45-75 with CADASIL, a rare genetic disease that damages small blood vessels in the brain, leading to strokes and memory loss. The goal was to see if the supplement could reduce worsening of symptoms like stroke, disability, or cognitive decline over 24 months. Results are not yet available, but the supplement was previously shown to help similar blood vessel damage in other conditions.
