Magnesium deficiency has long been associated with Alzheimer's Disease. As far back as 1990 (okay, maybe not THAT long ago), it was discovered that low levels of Magnesium, particularly in that part of the brain associated with short- and long-term memory, appears to be an important factor in Alzheimer's disease. However, what is news now is the testing used to discover magnesium deficiency and also mis-diagnosis of Alzheimer's, when in fact it could be something else.

Life Extension Magazine recently did an interview with Dr.Bruce Ames, an anti aging specialist and research scientist who was the first to realize the potential of using lipoic acid and Acetly L Carnitine together to help reverse the aging process.
