• Nutrition Research
  
  Recent research has shown a benefit of certain nutrients in reducing the risk of degenerative diseases of the brain. Antioxidants, such as vitamins E, C, B12 and folic acid have been shown to play an important role in healthy brain functioning. Antioxidants, often found in fruits and vegetables, have also been associated with improved mental function, including memory. [While we agree with the article's conclusion that a good supplement can help, we disagree with what constitutes a "good supplement"!]
