Efficacy and safety of MT104, a dietary supplement based on Cuscuta seeds and heat‐killed probiotics, on cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment: A 12‐week, multicenter, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled clinical trial

Researchers tested a dietary supplement called MT104 made from Cuscuta seeds and special probiotics to see if it could improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment, an early stage before dementia develops. In a 12-week study with 200+ participants, those taking MT104 showed better memory recall and overall cognitive function compared to those taking a placebo. The supplement appeared to be safe with no serious side effects, suggesting it could be a helpful natural approach to slow the progression toward Alzheimer’s disease.

Microbial links to Alzheimer’s disease

Researchers are investigating whether common infections from bacteria, viruses, and fungi might trigger or worsen Alzheimer’s disease. Studies show that pathogens like the bacteria that causes gum disease and certain herpes viruses can reach the brain and trigger inflammation and amyloid-beta accumulation, key features of Alzheimer’s. While the evidence is promising, scientists haven’t yet proven whether these infections cause Alzheimer’s or simply make existing disease worse.
