Can More Vitamin D Early in Life
Help Prevent Alzheimer’s?
An innovative new study provides a mechanism by which getting more vitamin D
earlier in life might help prevent Alzheimer’s disease later in life.
A protein named tau is essential for the health of nerve cells. But if tau molecules
begin to bunch up into neurofibrillary tangles, they begin to damage the very cells
they were meant to keep healthy. Tau tangles are an important marker of
cognitive impairment: the more neurofibrillary tangles inside the brain cells, the
worse the cognitive impairment.
Several studies have shown that low levels of vitamin D are associated with an
increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia.
A just published study set out to explore the possibility that more vitamin D early
in life might prevent tau tangles later in life. If that possibility proved true, that
would give rise to the possibility that getting more vitamin D might help prevent
Alzheimer’s disease.
The study included 729 people with an average age of 39 who did not have
dementia at the beginning of the study. At the beginning of the study, they had
their vitamin D levels measured. 16 years later, they had PET scans. Higher
levels of vitamin D were associated with significantly lower tau depositions in the
brain. This result was found both for the brain in general and in the regions of the
brain that are the earliest affected in Alzheimer’s.
What’s especially exciting about this study is not just the discovery of a possible
mechanism by which vitamin D might help prevent Alzheimer’s, but the
demonstration that vitamin D could significantly improve markers of dementia in
early midlife when there is a greater chance of reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s.

Probiotics Improve Cognitive
Function in People with Mild
Cognitive Impairment
A remarkable 42% of seniors are affected by mild cognitive impairment. There
may be a tiny solution to this massive problem.
People with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) experience cognitive decline greater
than expected for normal aging, but not severe enough to significantly interfere
with daily functioning.
Recent research has linked gut dysbiosis to alterations and imbalances in the
gut-brain axis and to the initiation and progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
This new study found that supplementing a strain of probiotic significantly
improved Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale Cognition 13 total score and
the memory sub-score, as well as executive function and processing speed,
versus placebo in people with MCI.

If You Suffer From Migraines,
You May Be Low In This Vitamin
 Migraine headaches are ridiculously common. They can cause intense, throbbing
pain; nausea; vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound that can seriously affect
your quality of life. This new study suggests that getting more of one simple
vitamin could help.
This study compared levels of vitamin B12 in people who suffered from migraines
to the levels in people who didn’t. The migraine group was further divided into
people who suffered chronic migraine and people whose migraines were
episodic.
The migraine group had significantly lower levels of B12, and the chronic
migraine sufferers had significantly lower B12 levels than people with episodic
migraines.
Adding to the evidence, lower B12 was significantly associated with greater
severity of migraine attacks.
This study offers the possibility that low levels of B12 are associated with
migraine headaches and their severity. It is the second recent study to find an
association between low B12 levels and migraine (J Headache Pain. 2025 Nov
11;26(1):2500.

Mental Health: Ashwagandha for
Everything!
This new study found that one herb, ashwagandha, can help depression, anxiety
and insomnia and improve your quality of life.
Having depression or anxiety is bad enough. Having depression and anxiety is
even worse. Unfortunately, the two often come together. And, as if that’s not bad
enough, many people who suffer from depression also struggle with insomnia.
This double-blind study of 70 people with mild to moderate depression and
anxiety gave half of them a placebo and half of them 500mg of ashwagandha
root extract standardized for 2.5% withanolides. They each took one pill after
dinner for 90 days.
The results were broad and remarkable. 100% of the people in the ashwagandha
group experienced improvement in depression and anxiety versus 66.6% on
placebo. And the improvement was significantly better on the herb.
Scores on the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale dropped from 17.09 to 8.18 in the
ashwagandha group versus a drop from 18.68 to just 16.14 in the placebo group.
That’s an improvement of 52.1% on ashwagandha versus 13.6% on placebo.
Scores on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale dropped from 15.21 to 8.18 on
ashwagandha but only from 15.19 to 13.42 on placebo. That’s an improvement of
52.13% on ashwagandha versus 13.59% on placebo.
As for insomnia, sleep quality scores improved by 68.4% in the herb group
compared to an improvement of only 29.5% with placebo. As with depression
and anxiety, that advantage was significant.
With all of that improvement, it is not surprising that ashwagandha improved the
quality of life of the people in the study. Quality of life improved by 9.57% in the
placebo group but by a significantly better 34.47% in the ashwagandha group.
The ashwagandha was safe.
Depression is complex and may have many causes. One of them is a deficiency
of the neurotransmitter serotonin. In this study, ashwagandha increased
serotonin while serotonin levels continued to decrease in the placebo group. The
difference was significant.

This new study suggests that ashwagandha is a powerful and versatile herb for
mental health. It significantly and safely improved depression, anxiety and
insomnia, leading to an improvement in quality of life.
