“Neuroprotective Potential of Phytochemicals from Selected Plant and Fungal sources in Alzheimer’s Disease”

LASTLY, to further help with the objectives, methodology and results I will attach some info 

below 

OBJECTIVES 

-Currently, there is no cure for AD, and available treatments only address symptoms. So Identifying phytochemicals that can protect against neurodegeneration may lead to the development of new treatment options that can slow down or halt the progression of the disease.

-Phytochemicals, natural compounds hav fewer side effects compared to synthetic drugs. If effective, phytochemical-based treatments could offer a safer alternative for AD patients.

-Plant and fungal sources are more affordable and accessible compared to synthetic drugs. This could make potential treatments more widely available to those who need them.

-AD is very complex and complicated, with increasing prevalence as the populations age. 

Overall, research on testing the phenolic content in specific plant samples has the potential to offer new hope for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers.

MY RESEARCH / MATERIALS & METHODOLOGY 

Within my research we are testing natural products (Tumeric, Lions Mane, Green Tea, Sea 

moss and hemp) for its Neuroprotective Potential to aid in the advancement of AD.

– Tumeric and – green tea have proven benefits in the improvement of memory and 

cognitive function The two antioxidants present epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)  from green tea and curcumin in turmeric have been investigated for their potential therapeutic effects 

in AD. Curcumin for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. And 

egcg for for its potential to protect brain cells from damage and improve memory and cognition.

– Lions mane – Promising results that were done in preclinical studies, but the

results have not been replicated.  Preclinical studies have shown that lion’s mane appears to

protect against oxidative stress – The brain is more vulnerable than other organs to 

oxidative stress, … Oxidative stress participates in the development of AD

– Hemp has shown to have efficient anti-neuroinflammatory activity, which without 

could lead to the tangles 

– Sea moss, type of seaweed that is rich in nutrients such as iodine, potassium, and 

magnesium.

• high nutrient content and potential anti-inflammatory properties, 
• no scientific evidence to support this claim. 
• Research imited
