Narrator:

Babs Zielazinski (BABBZ ZEE luh ZINS skee) is a dynamic octogenarian who's taken to the keyboard in the last few months.

Babs Zielazinski, Study Participant:

I can do the fingering with the right hand and I can fiddle a little bit with the chords and, but it sounds pretty good to me.

Narrator:

Babs' enthusiasm is part of a plan to keep her mind active for the long term.

Babs Zielazinski, Study Participant:

So maybe if I get to the age of a hundred, I'll still know what I'm doing.

Narrator:

She's also joined a Rush University Medical Center study to see if an antioxidant supplement can prevent Alzheimer's disease.

Raj Shah, MD, Geriatrician, Rush University Medical Center:

What we're trying to do is to test to see if the Cerefolin NAC, which is a combination of high dose B vitamins and an antioxidant, will help to replace some of the antioxidant capabilities that the body is losing.

Narrator:

As we age, antioxidant production drops and may allow damaging proteins to build-up in the brain.

Raj Shah, MD, Geriatrician, Rush University Medical Center:

The oxidative stress causes problems with causing the nerve cells not to function as well, and to die sooner, and that brings out the symptoms.

Narrator:

Participants take a multi-vitamin plus another pill, which may be the antioxidant booster cerefolin nac (SARA FOE linn NACK).

Raj Shah, MD, Geriatrician, Rush University Medical Center:

It'll be interesting to see if the combination of those two agents together seem to bring a little bit more benefit than just the B vitamins by themselves.

Narrator:

Whether the supplement actually helps is still up in the air.

Raj Shah, MD, Geriatrician, Rush University Medical Center:

We just have to understand what these nutraceuticals are doing and whether they're helpful or not.

Narrator:

Results that will help Babs decide whether her memories can be preserved by a pill. For WebMD, I'm Sandee LaMotte
