A recent Canadian study published in the Nutrition Research journal found that taking daily supplements of vitamins C and E may help reduce memory loss and improve mental function in people with Type 2 diabetes. Researchers noted that people with Type 2 diabetes are more susceptible to “acute elevations of free radicals” after ingesting a meal than healthy people are. The free radical elevations contribute to “oxidative stress” on the body which causes problems like cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease.
The published study noted that a daily dose of 1000 mg of vitamin C and 800 international units (IU) of vitamin E showed promise for protecting against memory loss and improving mental function. Vitamins C and E work together to fight free radical reactions, so it’s important to consume them together.
