Management of Mild Cognitive Impairment Patients With Greek Mountain Tea - TEAMENTIA — TEAMENTIA  

Mild Cognitive Impairment Clinical Trial

Official title: Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Prospective Study, to Evaluate the Effect of Greek Mountain Tea Patiens With Mild Cognitive Impairment

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

There is accumulating evidence suggesting that Greek Mountain Tea may have a positive impact on conditions involving cognitive deficits, such as Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and AD. More specifically, greek mountain olympos tee is rich in essential oils, flavonoids, diterpenes and phenylpropanes, which are primarily responsible for its pharmacological properties. Its confirmed antioxidant properties are what make mountain tea promising against Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. It has also been proven to possess cholinergic and cognitive enhancing capabilities. Greek Mountain Tea is deeper studied and it shows promising results in neuroprotection against AD through various suggested mechanisms, such as the enhancement of amyloid-beta clearance in the brain and the inhibition of neurofibrillary tangles formation. The aim of the study is to evaluate the beneficial effect of Greek Mountain Tea in patients diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment MCI.
