  • Each year approximately 6.2 million people die because of stroke; over 80% of these deaths take place in low- and middle-income countries<\/li>\n
  • More than 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy<\/li>\n
  • It is estimated that there are globally 35.6 million people with dementia and 7.7 million new cases every year<\/li>\n
  • Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and may contribute to 60\u201370% of all cases of dementia<\/li>\n
  • The prevalence of migraine is more than 10% worldwide (World Health Organization)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The scientific literature highlights the fundamental role of micronutrients in the prevention and control of nervous system disorders. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n

    Natural compounds contained in green tea offer health benefits in Alzheimer’s disease. Among the active constituents of green tea, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has the greatest beneficial properties. EGCG has distinctive benefits for the brain and central nervous system as it is able to cross the protective blood-brain barrier. Therefore it may exercise its action against diseases of the central nervous system such as Parkinson\u2019s disease and Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

    Neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nervous system that can be highly invasive and metastatic, accounts for 8\u201310% of all solid childhood tumors in children under the age of 15 years. It was shown that a nutrient mixture containing vitamin C, amino acids and green tea extract has significant antitumor effects on neuroblastoma.<\/p>\n

    In addition, World Health Organization identified the following micronutrients deficiencies as the cause of nervous system disorders:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Vitamin B1<\/strong> deficiency: beri-beri, polyneuropathy, Wernicke\u00b4s encephalopathy<\/li>\n
    • Vitamin B3<\/strong> deficiency: pellagra including dementia and depression<\/li>\n
    • Vitamin B6<\/strong> deficiency: polyneuropathy<\/li>\n
    • Vitamin B12<\/strong> deficiency: progressive myelopathy with sensory disturbances in the leg<\/li>\n
    • Folate deficiency<\/strong>: neural tube defects of the fetus with possible cognitive dysfunction in children and elderly<\/li>\n
    • Iodine deficiency<\/strong>: iodine deficiency disorders<\/li>\n
    • Iron deficiency<\/strong>: delayed mental development in children<\/li>\n
    • Zinc deficiency<\/strong>: delayed motor development in children, depression<\/li>\n
    • Selenium deficiency<\/strong>: adverse mood states<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
