19 Mar 2024 --- A mouse-model study has uncovered the potential health benefits of a microalgae extract, Phaeodactylum tricornutum (PT), in raising cognitive function and fighting age-related mental decline. “The microalgae PT is distinguished by its rich nutrient profile, characterized by well-documented neuroprotective activities, including fucoxanthin, a major carotenoid and polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids,” detail the researchers.
