Hannah Hussain - Vitamins, Food Supplements & Dementia

Hannah Hussain narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Vitamins and supplements are not pharmacological interventions and are not typically provided by the NHS. But this does not mean that they do not have benefits for the user. Hannah Hussain is a PhD Student studying health economics and dementia, however... she is also a fully qualified and jobbing pharmacist. In this blog she talks about vitamins and food suppliments and the roles they play in the brain.

Many vitamins and minerals are essential for our bodies to function, and although most should be acquired through a balanced and healthy diet – supplementing on particular vitamins that a person may be deficient in or have trouble absorbing can be helpful... find out more in this blog.
