Modern Healthspan: This Brain Lipid Declines ay 60 – What You Can Do | Dr Dayan Goodenowe
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Plasmalogens (critical brain lipids) decline sharply after age 60, accelerating cognitive decline.
- Boost plasmalogen production by consuming precursors like choline, DHA, and EPA from food or supplements.
- Test plasmalogen levels via specialized blood tests to monitor brain health status.
- Reduce oxidative stress with antioxidants (vitamin E, polyphenols) to protect existing plasmalogens.
Supplements & Protocols Mentioned
- Choline (500-1,000mg/day) – primary plasmalogen precursor (egg yolks, liver, or supplements).
- DHA/EPA (1-2g combined daily) – supports plasmalogen synthesis (fatty fish or algae oil).
- Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols, 400IU/day) – protects plasmalogens from oxidation.
Bottom Line
Combat age-related brain lipid decline by increasing plasmalogen precursors (choline + omega-3s) and reducing oxidative stress – test levels if possible.
