Brain Health at the Cellular Level

It is well proven that once we reach midlife, brain cells start dying. By the time we are in our 70's - 80's we have lost a great amount of brain cells that control movement, memory, cognitive function, etc. Mitochondria are thought of as the "power plants" within our cells. Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder affecting more than one million people in this country. Perhaps the best studied disease regarding mitochondrial dysfunction would be that of Parkinson's disease. Researcher Dr. Beal indicates there are several nutrients shown in studies to have promising benefits for mitochondrial disorders.
