Amy Berger’s book, The Alzheimer’s Antidote, goes into great detail regarding nutritional supplements and other strategies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) including the following: Chromium picolinate. This mineral is required for proper functioning of insulin receptors. It is well recognized for aiding in glucoregulation and insulin sensitivity.
Zinc. Zinc is required as a cofactor for insulin-degrading enzyme, which is responsible for breaking down the beta-amyloid plaques that are a classic hallmark of AD.
High-quality fish oil, krill oil, or other omega-3 supplement. Omega-3 supplements help balance the generally high omega-6:omega-3 fatty acid ratio and decrease systemic inflammation. Vegetable and seed oils high in omega-6 fatty acids (such as soybean, corn, cottonseed, and sunflower oils) induce inflammation in the body, while omega-3-rich oils stimulate anti-inflammatory pathways.
