In an ground-breaking study that is sure to kick off additional investigation, studies showed that matured laboratory rats that ate a diet overloaded with the acai berry compound pterostilbene and performed superior than those in the collection of animals that did not eat the enriched acai berry diet.

The compound has proved to reverse harmful aging patterns associated with brain functions and behavioral performance.

The tests were separated into two sections to determine if pterostilbene would be effective in reversing the age of elderly rats.

The initial element of the study tested seven stilbene compounds in cell cultures and established that pterostilbene was the most efficient at preventing oxidative stress.

additionally, they began to prepare a diet to feed the mature rats that had the following criteria: a controlled diet that would comp[rise of either a small dose or large dose of pterostilbene.

The outcome indicates that in aging rats, pterostilbene was successful in turning back cognitive decline and that enhanced operational memory was linked to pterostilbene levels in the hippo campus area of the brain.

The research is just the latest in a series of test that is looking into various associations to nutrition and declining brain functions.

Studies also show that other berries possess this compound-further studies will show their effectiveness.

The government has no standards on dietary supplement or how they should be taken-Like Vitamin C, acai berry should be taken in small amounts.

The study was published recently in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
