Sleep aid from wheat germ? spermidine trial targets memory decline

This study tests whether spermidine, a natural substance found in foods like wheat germ, can improve sleep quality and memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition that raises dementia risk. 76 participants aged 55-70 will take spermidine or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure brain activity during sleep and test memory before and after treatment to see if spermidine helps protect cognitive function.
