Alzheimer’s disease is the commonest form of dementia and is characterized by near total absence of memory. This disease is characterized by the presence of abnormal amyloid protein which blocks inter neuronal communication within the brain. This is done through formation of neuronal tangles. Research has shown that the formation of amyloid protein in the brain is decreased by the presence of adequate amounts of vitamin D. Vitamin D offers protection against Alzheimer’s disease by inhibiting the inflammatory process which attacks the brain.
