“Is there an age where it’s too late to prevent Alzheimer’s?”

Hi Tony,

There isn’t an age when it’s too late to prevent Alzheimer’s. But if you have the disease already, there IS a point when it’s too late to significantly delay its progression.

However, that occurs only when Alzheimer’s is very advanced.

But the timing of your question couldn’t be any better. A study just landed on my desk that reveals that people over 60 who take multivitamins can put the brakes on memory decline.

The folks taking the multivitamins had almost NO loss of mental function during the three years of the study.

In fact, the researchers believe that the results were SO powerful that it suggests that older adult brains may be even MORE sensitive to nutrition than they thought.

Everyone needs good nutrition, of course. But seniors are more susceptible to deficiencies because of the natural loss of appetite that comes with aging and absorption issues from waning stomach acid.

The researchers want to figure out exactly which nutrients are responsible for the powerful effects they saw. But that misses the point of multivitamins.

You see, when it comes to nutrition, YOU might be missing niacin in your diet, but your NEIGHBOR might be missing vitamin C or magnesium. A good multivitamin will cover everyone.

P.S. Amyloid plaques are the hallmark of Alzheimer’s and other dementias. And modern medicine is stumped. But a solution may have been staring us in the face all along. CLICK HERE to reveal the two NATURAL substances that attack the plaque problem head-on.
