Simultaneous use of vitamins E and C reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease - damage to the central nervous system, leading to memory loss and various mental changes. Vitamins-antioxidants provide brain protection and prevent the destructive activity of metabolic by-products.

Researchers studied health status 4. 740 people over the age of 65, some of whom already suffered from this ailment. Scientists have found that diseases are less susceptible to those who consume both vitamin supplements. Curiously, vitamins act only together. Among those who consumed only vitamin C or only E, as well as those who combined one of them with other supplements, no positive results were observed.

Scientists say that vitamin E is able to act with a lower dose of vitamin C, contained in various vitamin supplements. The study was conducted by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. Full information about it will appear in The Archives of Neurology.
