Vitamin C in the Brain Slows Alzheimer’s, i3S Study Reveals
New i3S findings connect brain vitamin C to slowed Alzheimer’s progression A research team at the i3S Research Center in Portugal has reported a striking finding: restoring vitamin C concentration inside brain microglia—the immune cells that patrol the nervous system—reinstates normal cellular behavior in preclinical models of Alzheimer’s disease. By ensuring effective vitamin C transport…

Vitamin C in Brain May Slow Alzheimer’s: i3S Study Findings
Vitamin C in the brain could slow Alzheimer’s progression, new i3S findings suggest A recent study from the i3S research center in Portugal reports that replenishing vitamin C levels within the brain may delay the progression of Alzheimer’s disease in preclinical models. By focusing on microglia—the brain’s resident immune cells—the researchers demonstrate that restoring intracellular…

Vitamin C Replenishment in the Brain Delays Alzheimer’s, New Study Suggests
New findings from a Portuguese research team A team at i3S, the health research hub in Portugal, reports a striking link between brain vitamin C balance and Alzheimer’s disease in preclinical models. The study suggests that transporting and normalizing vitamin C concentration inside microglia—the brain’s immune cells—restores their normal functioning, potentially altering the disease course…
