As the global population ages, the prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases like dementia and Alzheimer’s continues to rise. However, emerging research highlights the potential role of dietary factors, particularly the intake of vitamin C, in reducing the risk and progression of these debilitating conditions. Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, plays a critical role in maintaining brain health, potentially offering a natural defense against cognitive decline.

Those studies found vitamin C intake from diet has positive benefits, not supplementation of ascorbic acid.

Correlation is not causation.

Not meaning to rain on the ascorbic acid parade but I don't find any convincing evidence in what is cited that supplementing with ascorbic acid helps prevent dementia and Alzheimer's.

You seem to be of the opinion that vitamin C in foods is superior to the isolated factor that is vitamin C. Peace be with you. Enjoy your vegetables and fruits! You may even be right!

"When we treated brain tissue from mice suffering from Alzheimer's disease with vitamin C, we could
see that the toxic protein aggregates were dissolved. Our results show a previously unknown model for
how vitamin C affects the amyloid plaques", says Katrin Mani, reader in Molecular Medicine at Lund
University.
