Plasmalogen is a type of phospholipid that is contained in human body and animal.
Plasmalogen has attracted attention as an ingredient that is expected to improve cognitive function and learning function and prevent from deterioration of them.
Approximately 20% of the phospholipids in the human body are considered to be Plasmalogen, mainly abundant in area where there is large oxygen consumption such as brain, heart and skeletal muscle.
Almost 40% of Plasmalogen in blood is considered to gradually decrease with age and reports have also shown that Plasmalogen is decreased in the brain of Alzheimer’s disease patients.
According to this report, hypothesis that level of Plasmalogen would be associated with onset of Alzheimer's disease are proposed and a lot of research has been done on it.
When a 60-year-old man and woman with a sense of forgetfulness consumed chicken Plasmalogen for 12 weeks, a significant difference was obtained in verbal memory and cognitive function speed.
