Substance from intestines may slow Alzheimer's progression

A certain naturally occurring substance in the intestines may possibly slow the progression of Alzheimer's. This is shown by research, according to Futura. The substance, whose name is not mentioned, would play a role in reducing symptoms.

It is not yet clear how effective the substance is exactly and whether it can be used as a treatment in the future. Futura reports that more research is needed to further investigate the mechanism and possible applications.

Previous research already showed that the composition of the gut flora can influence the brain and the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. These new findings could fit into that.

According to Futura, the results of the research are not yet definitive. Whether the substance will actually play a role in the treatment of Alzheimer's is still uncertain.
