Preliminary Study Shows Proanthocyanidins Defend Brain Activity
At Bangalore University's Department of Zoology in India, scientists conducted a study involving rats which showed that proanthocyanidins (PA) consumed in a moderately low quantity provides antioxidant protection of the brain. Researchers concluded that PA may have a potent role in enhancing cognition in older rats. This is possibly exciting news for humans, however, more human research would provide a fuller understanding of a PA/human relationship.
