Seaweed Antioxidants Show Potential in Parkinson's Disease Prevention

Research reveals Ecklonia cava's ability to protect dopamine-producing neurons and improve motor function in preclinical studies.

Ecklonia cava polyphenols activate AMPK enzyme, reducing harmful reactive oxygen species.
Mouse models treated with these antioxidants showed restored motor function and improved gut health.
Cellular studies confirmed the protective effects against neuronal damage.
Findings suggest a natural preventive approach for Parkinson's, pending further research.
Current Parkinson's treatments only manage symptoms, highlighting the need for preventive measures.
