Pomegranate Power: Compound May Aid Memory in Alzheimer’s

A new study finds that urolithin A, a substance found in pomegranates, can improve memory and may help treat Alzheimer's disease. This natural compound works by removing damaged mitochondria from the brain, similar to the effects of NAD supplements. While dosage is still being determined, this discovery offers promising potential for treating and preventing neurodegenerative diseases.
