Plasmalogens: Emerging Evidence for a Potential Role in Brain Health and Alzheimer's Prevention

Plasmalogens, a class of fats founds in our bodies, as well as in most animals, is something worth knowing about.

Like the omega 3 fatty acids, to which they are related, they have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers – and they simply make our bodies run better.

Recently, excitement about plasmalogens has been growing thanks to emerging evidence suggesting that they may be able to protect against cognitive decline and reduce the risk of devastating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

Given that the side-effects appear to be virtually non-existent, plasmalogen supplements might be something to consider exploring, particularly if you have reason to believe you may be at higher than average risk for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.
