Scientists working on federally-funded research, called the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study, found that people with Alzheimer's disease who took large doses of Vitamin E delayed such outcomes as the loss of ability to feed or groom themselves.

A large research project in Switzerland has found that people in their sixties and older who had the highest blood levels of Vitamin C and beta carotene did better on tests of memory than those with lower levels.

Then the BBC reported that children using vitamins were doing better in school and that antioxidants play roles for improved memory and brain health.

Another study, conducted on Japanese-American men living in Hawaii, found that both Vitamin E and Vitamin C seemed to stave off losses in cognitive functions

Scientists speculate that these vitamins, called antioxidants, may reduce oxidative stress to brain cells called neurons. Such stress occurs when highly volatile forms of oxygen damage cell structure in the course of normal chemical reactions that occur throughout the body. That damage keeps neurons from functioning as well as possible, according to the theory.

Your body is exposed to free radicals daily from pollution, poor diet, tobacco smoke and even normal metabolism. Without an adequate supply of antioxidants, free radicals cause cellular damage, which can lead to disease and premature aging. Schizandra Plus combines the natural antioxidant power of schizandra berries, with vitamins C, E beta carotene and the mineral selenium, to help support and protect good health.
