A new review highlights the significant role of dietary lipids in preventing brain aging and cognitive decline. As the global burden of aging-related brain diseases, particularly dementia, continues to rise, this research offers promising insights into potential nutritional interventions that could improve brain function during aging.
The review focuses on the intricate relationship between lipid homeostasis and brain aging, emphasizing the importance of maintaining synaptic plasticity to prevent cognitive impairment. By examining evidence from epidemiological and animal studies, the research team demonstrates the crucial functions of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), specifically phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, and plasmalogen, in promoting brain health.
The findings suggest that interventions involving these phospholipids have shown promising results in alleviating cognitive impairment associated with aging. Notably, plasmalogen, a nutrient abundant in the postsynaptic membrane of neurons, exhibited higher efficacy than phosphatidylserine.
While the review underscores the potential of plasmalogen in improving brain function during aging, it also acknowledges the challenges associated with its application. The acid intolerance and vulnerability to oxidation of its vinyl ether bonds, as well as inconsistent effective doses in clinical trials and animal studies, pose hurdles to its widespread use.
The research team concludes that dietary phospholipids hold great promise as a nutritional intervention for brain aging. However, more studies are required to elucidate the underlying mechanisms, optimal dosage, and practical application of these lipids. Plasmalogen, in particular, emerges as a potential key player in brain protection, warranting further investigation into its effectiveness and potential clinical application.
As the global prevalence of neurological disorders continues to escalate, finding effective strategies to improve brain health during aging is of paramount importance. This in-depth review sheds light on the potential benefits of dietary lipid intervention and highlights the need for future research in this field.

I’ve been on PC for about 7 weeks now and really like it. They one I buy is NOT cheap (BodyBio liquid) but it’s worth it.
Bkmk
maybe getting people off of statins now that hypercholesterolemia have been shown to not cause heart disease. Cholesterol is a building block for:
- myelin sheaths covering spinal nervous system
- brain matter/neural connections
- Sex cells
- etc.
any reason why globalists may want us all to clear this out of our system(s)?
What foods, ray tell, are under discussion? The berries and milk bottles I see don’t list these substances as ingredients.
I take the phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine. This is the first time I’ve heard of plasmalogen.
I’d have to see more literature on it before I considered taking it.
Eggs, milk, fish….
No wonder they have to use scientific jargon as those food sources would be controversial to some.
I take plasmalogens. It’s from various kinds a sea urchin, which is not part of my diet, so it’s my only option.
Sounds good. I eat a lot of eggs though I don’t tolerate milk and gout prevents seafood.
BKMK!
and get them off the rest of pharmekia while you’re at it. It’s all toxic
mainly lecithin which is derived from soy or sunflowers
