New research reported by ScienceDaily suggests glucosamine, a widely used joint supplement taken by millions for arthritis and cartilage health, may be associated with faster progression of Alzheimer's disease. The finding is drawing attention because the supplement has long been viewed as safe and is commonly self-prescribed, raising questions about its effects on the ageing brain.

A new study reports that adults with higher levels of a particular vitamin showed healthier results on brain scans. The finding, highlighted by health news outlets, adds to ongoing research into how nutrition may influence brain health and could affect public guidance on diet and supplements as people age.
