What is it about?
Chicoric acid, a compound naturally present in chicory, may be effective in reducing Alzheimer's-related memory loss. Our new research found that is may be effective in reducing Alzheimer's-related memory loss.

Why is it important?
Memory loss is a key characteristic of Alzheimer's disease, which is a condition that affects more than 5.4 million people in the United States. There is currently no way to halt Alzheimer's-related memory loss, though there are medications that might help to reduce its severity for a limited time. This study suggest that chicoric acid has the potential to offer a more natural strategy to reduce memory impairment.
Perspectives
This is a very encouraging research that Chicoric acid (CA), a natural component from vegetable has beneficial for memory loss. It may be a plausible therapeutic intervention for neuroinflammation-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). For future, long-term memory loss model experiments and other clinical trials must be done before CA used for AD prevention or treatment.
