Key Findings
- A study by Nanchang University found that apple polysaccharides (AP) improve learning and memory in aging mice
- AP boosts neural health by increasing proteins essential for neuron communication
- AP reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, which are key factors in aging
- AP restores gut health by repairing the intestinal barrier and promoting beneficial bacteria
