S-Equol in Alzheimer's Disease 2 (SEAD2) Trial
By doing this study researchers hope to learn if S-equol, a compound that acts like estrogen
in the body, causes an increase in mitochondrial activity. Researchers also hope to determine
the safety and tolerability of a therapeutic dose of S-equol and whether or not it influences
cognition.
