Brain Shrinkage (Cerebral Atrophy) reduced by daily dosage of folic acid (800 mcg),vitamin B6 (20 mg) andvitamin B12 (500 mcg) in 2 years

Quote:

" Last year (2013), the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published an impressive study about one of the most common vitamin combinations on the market—a good old B-complex.[1]

Researchers recruited in 156 patients with an average age of 76. Around half got a daily dose of folic acid (800 mcg), vitamin B6 (20mg) and vitamin B12 (500mcg). The rest got a placebo.

After two years, the researchers found that the group taking the B vitamins experienced a significant reduction in overall brain shrinkage. In fact, some of the participants went from as much as 5.4 percent shrinkage down to just 0.6 percent.

In other words, taking these three simple B vitamins slowed brain shrinkage by 90 percent!

To drive the amazing potential of B vitamins home even further, researchers took MRI scans of patients’ brains and highlighted the specific areas that were protected by the B vitamins. They lined up perfectly with areas normally ravaged by Alzheimer’s disease.
