Whey protein represents hope in the search for treatments against Alzheimer's, a neurodegenerative condition that mainly affects the elderly.
In a recent study, researchers explored the potential of whey protein to improve brain health in animal models – and found promising results:
Inhibition of neuroinflammation, essential to delay the progression of the disease;
Improves cognitive function, that is, the brain's ability to properly perform its functions.
We are still constantly surprised by new perspectives on the benefits of milk consumption, aren’t we?!
