The effect of saffron in the treatment of memory impairment

The results of a study show that crocin, the active ingredient in saffron, improves spatial memory impairment and avoidance in animals with impaired memory.

Inflammation of the brain and oxidative stress play an important role in the development and progression of degenerative diseases of the nervous system, such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers have studied the effect of crocin consumption on memory impairment in Alzheimer’s patients.

According to the National Health Research Center, peripheral injection of lipopolysaccharide induces cerebral inflammation and impairs memory and learning functions.
Crocin, the main active ingredient in saffron, has been reported to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties.

The researchers aimed to study the neuroprotective effect of crocin on cerebral inflammation and lipopolysaccharide-induced memory impairment.
The results showed that crocin can be used as a supplement to improve memory impairment in Alzheimer’s patients.
