In an ground-breaking study that is sure to kick off additional investigation, studies showed that matured laboratory rats that ate a diet overloaded with the acai berry compound pterostilbene and performed superior than those in the collection of animals that did not eat the enriched acai berry diet.

Pterostilbene inverted quantifiable harmful things that cause aging on brain function and behavioral performance.

The study was broken down into two sections which could if pterostilbene was actually effective in reversing the age of the mature rats.

The initial element of the study tested seven stilbene compounds in cell cultures and established that pterostilbene was the most efficient at preventing oxidative stress.

The second part of the study featured the researchers preparing a diet that would have the following criteria for the mature rats: They would have a controlled diet that either fed them a large dose or small dose of pterostilbene.

The results were an reverse in cognative skills and an increase in memory in the rats that had high doses of pterostilbene.

The study results are the latest in a series of cell culture and animal model studies in print in the last decade that shed light on the associations linking an assortment of nutritional workings of brain function at the same time as aging.

Studies also show that other berries possess this compound-further studies will show their effectiveness.

The government has no standards on dietary supplement or how they should be taken-Like Vitamin C, acai berry should be taken in small amounts.

The study was published recently in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
