Polysaccharides, Immune Function, and Cognition with Dr. Josh Helman, MD
Polysaccharides, Immune Function, and Cognition
Subscribe:
Dr. Josh Helman, MD, hosts John E. Lewis, Ph.D., for a conversation about polysaccharides, the plant compounds found in aloe vera and rice bran, and what the published research has examined about their role in immune function, inflammation, and cognition.
Dr. Lewis describes what he and his colleagues measured in their clinical trial in older adults, and he is careful to distinguish what was observed from what it proves. The trial was small and open-label, and it does not establish that any dietary supplement treats, cures, or prevents disease.
The conversation also covers how that research led to the formulation of Daily Brain Care, which ingredients it contains, and why Dr. Lewis considers nutrition an underexamined variable in brain health research. You can read more about Dr. Lewis.
