Memory improved in dogs by diet
Dogs have better memory with antioxidants
Two supplements have been shown to improve memory.
The newest study was just published in FASEB Journal, produced by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. Researchers also were from the University of Toronto, University of California at Berkeley, Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute, and Juvenon Inc.
Supplements of two antioxidant compounds, acetyl-lcaritine and alpha lipoic acid, significantly increased the ability of “geriatric†beagle dogs to learn a new task.
The study builds on similar findings made several years ago, done with mice.
“The prospects for cognitive improvement from use of these supplements is both fascinating and exciting,†said Tory Hagen, an associate professor in the Pauling Institute, and an expert on aging.
I have known about these supplements for a while. I still maintain that generally antioxidants, especially more natural ones are the best out of any supplement, for memory improvement and can even help language learning. What I mean by natural is something like bilberry or blueberry, or pomegranate or even grapeseed extract.
