Produktinformationen "From Myelin to Mayhem: How Cholesterol Imbalance Can Affect Brain Health"
Our brains hold a hidden factory, independent of dietary cholesterol. Behind the blood-brain barrier, they meticulously craft their own, using it for a critical purpose: myelin. This fatty sheath acts like electrical insulation for our nerve fibers, ensuring rapid and clear communication between brain cells. But this finely tuned system can go awry. When cholesterol levels become imbalanced, myelin production suffers. This can lead to a breakdown in communication, impacting memory, learning, and even movement. In extreme cases, it can contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases. By understanding this delicate balance between brain-made cholesterol and myelin health, we can unlock strategies to protect our cognitive function and overall brain well-being
