In this episode of Daily Value, we look into the synergistic relationship between two nutrient classes in supporting brain health and mitigating cognitive decline. Drawing on evidence from past clinical evidence suggesting these two nutrient classes work in tandem to support brain function and health.

Discussion Points:
-Homocysteine’s role in disrupting fatty acid incorporation into cell membranes and amyloid-beta clearance.
-Findings from one study, where some 70-year-old participants experienced up to 30% reduction in brain atrophy.
-Practical strategies to optimize intake of these nutrients.
