Vitamin E Slows Decline of Some Alzheimers Patients in Study

Does vitamin E help people with Alzheimers disease? For years, scientists
have been trying to find out, guessing that the vitamins antioxidant
properties might be beneficial. But the results from clinical trials have
been mixed and following a report that high doses of vitamin E may
increase the risk of death cautionary.
.
Now a study suggests that vitamin E supplements may be good for some
Alzheimers patients after all. The benefit was not huge, but for a
devastating disease that has proved almost impervious to treatment, it was
notable.
.
The study, published in Wednesdays issue of JAMA, The Journal of the
American Medical Association, found that over a little more than two
years, high-dose vitamin E slowed the decline of people with mild to
moderate Alzheimers by about six months on average.
.
Vitamin E did not delay cognitive or memory deterioration, however.
Instead, it seemed to temporarily protect something many patients consider
especially valuable: their ability to perform daily activities like
putting on clothes and feeding themselves.
.
Compared with other study participants, people who took vitamin E also
required about two fewer hours of help from caregivers per day, the
researchers said.
.
Is it really going to dramatically alter the lives of Alzheimers patients?
Thats unclear, said Dr. Scott Small, director of Columbia Universitys
Alzheimers Disease Research Center, who was not involved in the study. But
it might improve patients ability to bathe themselves and dress
themselves.
.
Notably, in this study, high-dose vitamin E appeared safe. Many doctors
had stopped suggesting it to Alzheimers patients after a 2005 analysis
suggested that high doses could increase the risk of mortality. That
analysis looked at vitamin Es effect on patients with various diseases,
not just Alzheimers.
