A recent clinical publication in a peer-reviewed journal, JCI Insight, offers a practical, noninvasive approach to detect and monitor discrete retinal amyloid deposits in patients using solid-lipid curcumin and a modified scanning laser ophthalmoscope. The researchers conclude that the concept may lead to a practical and feasible approach for large-scale AD diagnosis and monitoring.2

JUNE 2017 – Researchers at Central Michigan University have taken a closer look at Longvida® Optimized Curcumin. Previously, these researchers conducted amyloid binding work in vitro with promising results1. Recently published, in the International Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, Maiti P et al have compared standard, unformulated curcumin more closely to Longvida with SLCP™ Technology.
