Alzheimer's disease may be associated with high levels of homocysteine, an amino acid thought to damage arteries.
Goji berries have B vitamins that may help to break down homocysteine. Y. S. Ho and colleagues, at the University of Hong Kong, also found that carbohydrates in wolfberries can help protect nerve cells and brain function against homocysteine-induced damage, which could lead to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
The study was published in 2010 in the "Journal of Alzheimer's Disease."
