Starch shield: could resistant starch slow memory loss?
NCT ID NCT07152483
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study tests whether eating foods high in resistant starch (a type of fiber) can slow down memory decline in people at high genetic risk for cognitive impairment. Seventy adults aged 40 and older with a high genetic risk score and mild memory issues will be randomly assigned to eat either high-resistant starch foods or regular starch foods for a period. Researchers will track changes in thinking skills, blood and gut markers, and brain scans to see if the diet helps protect the brain.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
resistant starch (dietary supplement)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary change to help slow memory loss in people at high genetic risk.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 70 participants. It is not yet recruiting, and results may not apply to everyone. Dietary changes can be hard to stick with.
