    TLDR Vitamin E and C may help slow Alzheimer's and Parkinson's progression.
    The study investigates the impact of water- and fat-soluble vitamins on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. It highlights that certain vitamins, such as vitamin E (a fat-soluble vitamin) and vitamin C (a water-soluble vitamin), may have neuroprotective effects that could slow the progression of these neurodegenerative diseases. The research suggests that these vitamins can help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, which are key factors in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. However, the study emphasizes the need for further clinical trials to establish definitive conclusions, as current evidence is primarily based on observational studies and small-scale trials.
