Understanding the Link Between Alzheimer’s and the Gut Microbiome

17 January 2024

Close to 50 million people all-around the globe live with dementia, an incurable condition characterized by memory loss, cognitive challenges, and behavioral changes.

Alzheimer’s disease, a form of dementia, is a leading cause of disability among elderly individuals. And although there’s currently no cure, experts have been investigating numerous theories trying to uncover the root cause of Alzheimer’s.

One area of focus is the role of the gut microbiome.

In this blog post, we will explore the link between the gut microbiome and Alzheimer’s disease, discussing a recent study that sheds light on this connection and a proven product that helps support a healthy gut-brain connection.

Link Between Gut Microbiome and Alzheimer’s Disease

Recent research published in The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease identified a strong link between the gut microbiome and Alzheimer’s disease.

The study analyzed the fecal samples of individuals with and without Alzheimer’s, finding significant differences between the two groups’ gut microbiomes.

One key difference was the microbiome’s reduced diversity in people with Alzheimer’s compared to those without. Researchers believe this could be due to a decrease of beneficial bacteria, ultimately impacting brain function.

Here’s a fact about Alzheimer’s that may surprise you: less than 1% of cases are caused by genetics. That means that over 99% of Alzheimer’s cases are due to an increased presence of risk factors that are related to dementia.

One major risk factor for Alzheimer’s is nutritional deficiency. In fact, recent research out of the University of Wisconsin has shown that 40% of geriatric memory patients were deficient in at least one vitamin that has been linked to brain health.
