I recently looked at what the state of the art is in dementia prevention/cure and mitochondrial targeted antioxidants are among the most effective drugs. I advise anyone to consider doing research and eventually self-conclude to take SkQ1 daily in order to significantly slow the ageing program.

Funny how even trying to monitor mitochondrial aids I never ever saw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkQ

Thanks somehow

That page, along with the linked page to Vladimir Skulachev, who allegedly developed SkQ, gives me astroturf vibes. The hype seems too good to be true, and anything being used in the cosmetic/beauty industry is probably a scam.

Was getting dementia, quite bad in 30s. Turned out it was a micro clotting problem. Oddly similar to what covid does. Fixed as soon as I started blood thinners. Only took 3 years and hundreds of thousands to figure out.

For the people down voting this: why?

Honestly curious since the comment doesn't seem to be made in bad faith, nor seems to be breaking any guidelines.

Could be that I'm wrong, of course

Not one of the downvoters, but: this comment misses the point of the article pretty thoroughly. The article is about cultural issues surrounding dementia in Africa, not its prevention.

He's shilling a totally unproven nutritional supplement. And the comment is only marginally related to the article.

Fair point

How do you source that? It seems to be fairly esoteric.

I’ve been looking for ways to better treat hEDS. I’ve started researching how to fix mitochondrial damage. I’ll look into this. Thanks.
