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.

The compound has proved to reverse harmful aging patterns associated with brain functions and behavioral performance.

The tests were separated into two sections to determine if pterostilbene would be effective in reversing the age of elderly rats.

The first part of the study dealt with testing seven different compounds in a cell culture where they determined that pterostilbene was the most effective in hindering 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 outcome indicates that in aging rats, pterostilbene was successful in turning back cognitive decline and that enhanced operational memory was linked to pterostilbene levels in the hippo campus area of the brain.

The research is just the latest in a series of test that is looking into various associations to nutrition and declining brain functions.

The studies also show that not only is acai berry found this compound, but also other berries.

Like vitamin C, the body can only absorb so much at a time-At the current time, there are no standards set forth by any governmental agencies on what is the recommended amount for humans to take-It is recommended to start with small quantities first to see how your body reacts.

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