Studies published in international peer-reviewed journals have highlighted Vitamin E’s neuroprotective benefits, an activity largely attributed to Vitamin E’s antioxidant properties. Oxidative stress plays a major role in the development and progression of AD. Results from the Rotterdam Study, one of the largest study to date on the effects of dietary antioxidant intake on dementia risk in over 5,000 subjects have shown that high intake of vitamin E- rich food sources can modestly reduce the long-term risk of dementia and AD.
