18. Delay onset age related cognitive decline
Vitamin E can help to delay the onset of age-related cognitive decline, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. A TEAM-AD VA Cooperative Randomized Trial looked at the effects of vitamin E on Alzheimer’s disease.
The study included a group of 613 people who were diagnosed with either possible or probable AD. The participants were separated into four groups. It was found that the group that was given vitamin E and memantine on a daily basis had delayed onset of cognitive decline caused by Alzheimer’s or dementia.
