The Alzheimer's Scientist: This $1.50 Supplement Reversed Memory Loss In 8 Weeks

Video Description

Could a simple supplement that bodybuilders use to build muscle actually help fight Alzheimer's disease? Dr. Matthew Taylor from the University of Kansas reveals surprising results from his groundbreaking clinical trial testing high-dose creatine in Alzheimer's patients.

His 8-week clinical trial gave 20 Alzheimer's patients 20 grams of creatine daily - a bodybuilder's loading dose - and found remarkable improvements in memory, executive function, and even unexpected gains in reading comprehension. Using advanced MRI spectroscopy, his team confirmed that creatine actually reaches the brain, increasing levels by 11%. Beyond cognitive benefits, participants also showed significant improvements in hand grip strength and muscle mass. Dr. Taylor explains how brain energy metabolism creates a vicious cycle in Alzheimer's, explores whether creatine could prevent dementia in healthy aging, and reveals his plans for combining creatine with ketogenic diet approaches. This conversation offers hope for a simple, accessible intervention that could help millions facing cognitive decline. 🌐Links in this video Creatine monohydrate pilot in Alzheimer's: Feasibility, brain creatine, and cognition https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12089086/ Dr Taylor's website at Kansas University https://www.kumc.edu/mtaylor3.html #alzheimers #creatine #brainhealth
