Organic Nicotine

Nicotine is actually part of the natural food chain of nature and most of us consume trace elements of it everyday in a number of common foods such as, chili peppers, cauliflower tomatoes and potatoes, as well as many teas.

Medical research into nicotine has shown it can improve concentration, attention and improve mood.

It is this affect on the brain that has led scientists to look at Nicotine's potential preventing and providing relief for several conditions including Alzheimer's disease.

Prevention

Alzheimer's disease occurs with the degeneration of various structures in the brain.

The development of amyloid plaques and neuro-fibrillary tangles then deficiencies of acetylcholine and other neurotransmitters occur as the disease takes hold.

Medical research indicates that nornicotine, produced when nicotine is absorbed into the body, can stop the formation of protein lumps or plaques, in the brain that are the cause of Alzheimer's disease.

It's a fact that smokers are at far less risk of getting the disease than non smokers.

Relief for Sufferers

Nicotine can also be used to treat Alzheimer's disease when it has already occurred.

Tests have already been carried out on rats to show how nicotine can repair damaged memory cells.

Nicotine is believed to provide relief to Alzheimer's disease sufferers by attaching itself to the receptors of the brain.

Acetylcholine, a chemical important in learning and memory, is lost when people have the disease and this chemical is affected in a positive way when nicotine is taken.

Nature's wonder drug

Nicotine also has potential to help with a number of diseases that include brain function including:
Depression, Parkinson's disease and Schizophrenia.

Originally designed simply for smokers as an alternative for when they didn't want to smoke or could not smoke, it is now taken by many non smokers for its potential health benefits and many new products look set to follow.
