Gene study suggests vitamin E helps block Alzheimer’s

SCIENTISTS have found genetic proof that vitamin E can help protect against Alzheimer’s disease, according to DSM.

The nutritional products division of the company announced that through the use of nutrigenomics, scientists have identified a number of genes associating vitamin E with protection against Alzheimer’s disease.

Estimates suggest that around 4.5 million people in the US alone live with the disease for which, at present, there is no cure or prevention.

A number of epidemiologic studies have suggested the benefits of vitamin E in reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, with one clinical trial showing a significant delay in the onset of the disease in a vitamin E supplemented group. However, according to DSM, the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood.
