These supplements prevent brain aging!

It’s official—a new study proves that just taking the right supplement could slash your risk of ever developing dementia 50% or more! Which one is right for you? Experts recommend:

1B complex . . . if you live in a city

If you’re exposed to a lot of air pollution, you can lower your risk of dementia 58% just by taking a B- complex supplement each day, say University of Southern California scientists. B’s help your liver flush out toxins— even inhaled ones—before they damage brain cells. One option: Twinlab Stress B- Complex ($16 for 100 capsules, Vitaminshoppe.com). ■ Important: Check with a doctor before starting any new supplement.

2PS ... if you’re often stressed out

In recent research, a daily 300-mg. dose of phosphatidylserine (PS) quashed stress, anxiety and blue moods for 94% of women—plus cut the risk of memory woes by as much as 50%! In supplement form, PS—A fatty compound in the brain— prods the repair and replacement of aging neurons, says study coauthor Rika Ebina, PH.D.

3DHA ... if you’re always achy

Stiff, sore muscles are signs your body needs more DHA, an omega-3 fat in fish. Correct that DHA shortfall— by taking 480 mg. to 600 mg. daily—and you’ll not only feel more limber, your risk of dementia will drop 55%, European research reveals. The reason? DHA is a key building block of healthy, active brain cells. One option: Life Extension Mega EPA/DHA ($15 for 120 softgels, Lef.com/ww).

4Vitamin D-3 . . . if there’s a family history of diabetes

Vitamin D- 3 slows brain aging, cutting your dementia risk in half if you take 3,000 IU daily, British researchers say. Avoiding a D- 3 deficiency also lowers your diabetes risk faster and more effectively than losing weight! That’s because D- 3 helps your pancreas produce insulin, plus it encourages your muscle cells to burn blood sugar for fuel.
