Beta Carotene May Ward Off Memory Problems
Beta carotene taken as a dietary supplement for many years may protect against declines in memory, thinking and learning skills that often precede Alzheimer's disease, researchers said this week. The Archives of Internal Medicine study, pointed to a protective effect against cognitive decline in healthy men who took beta carotene for about eighteen years, but not in men who took the supplements for an average of only a year. Beta Carotene is a precursor to Vitamin A.
