TLDR

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have identified a natural aging-related molecule, calcium alpha-ketoglutarate (CaAKG), which can repair key memory processes affected by Alzheimer’s disease. This compound improves communication between brain cells and restores early memory abilities that typically fade first. Because it already exists in the body and declines with age, boosting it may offer a safer way to protect the brain. The discovery hints at a new strategy for slowing cognitive aging before severe damage sets in.
