Substance from intestines could slow Alzheimer's, according to research

According to the French science medium Futura, a substance from the intestines may potentially slow the progression of Alzheimer's. The medium reports that a researcher has found a possible connection between a substance from the intestines and the progression of the disease.

The substance in question is not further specified. It is also unclear how significant the influence is or whether the effect has been proven in humans. Futura reports that the research is still in an early stage.

Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disease that leads to memory loss and other cognitive problems. The disease is not yet curable. It is not the first time that researchers have looked at a possible link between the intestines and brain diseases.

Futura emphasizes that the research is not yet complete and that there are still many questions. The medium also points to the complexity of the disease and the many factors that play a role.
