A new study has found that a formula containing omega-3s, carotenoids and vitamin E had a significant positive effect on measures of cognitive decline among an older cohort suffering from milder Alzheimer’s disease.
Mice given high doses of vitamin E lived on average 40 per cent
longer than a control group, report Spanish and Argentinian
researchers, who suggest the results are down to the vitamin's
antioxidant power.
Leiner Health Care buffered the impact of negative publicity about
vitamin E in fiscal 2005 by shifting its focus to joint care
products, writes Jess Halliday.
Taking vitamin E supplements for several years did not reduce the
risk of cancer or cardiovascular events in a group of elderly
diabetics and heart disease patients, report researchers today.
