Today, scientists still do not know the cause of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), yet decades of research advancements give hope to the possibility of slowing down early-onset of AD. Benfotiamine, a therapeutic drug that raises blood vitamin B1, levels very high, was recently tested as a pilot clinical study conducted by the Gibson Lab at the Burke Neurological Institute.
