Key Takeaways

A green tea antioxidant called EGCG combined with vitamin B3 restored energy levels and reduced Alzheimer’s-related protein buildup in mouse brain cells.

Oral supplements of vitamin B3 are unlikely to provide the same brain benefits because B3 breaks down in the gut before reaching the brain.

Diets rich in vitamin B3 and other nutrients, like the MIND diet, may help lower Alzheimer’s disease risk.

A new animal study suggests that a treatment combining a green tea antioxidant with nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3, may help rejuvenate aging brain cells and clear protein plaques tied to Alzheimer’s disease.

Previous research in humans has also linked green tea and vitamin B3 from food sources to better cognitive health.
