This is too complicated. The only ones I recognize are fish oil, walnut and strawberries, and a blood pressure medicine, which I am already eating and on. Flavanoids are in oranges. I have to keep things very simple for myself because my memory and cognition have been compromised. But thank you for responding, Lane.

This report on Alzheimer's drugs under development comes out annually. I believe that certain antioxidants provide the best chance of treating the disease. I counted 5 out of 187 drugs/natural products that act as antioxidants.

What are the 5 antioxidant products from this study?

Beautiful, important question, Iris. I should have specified them in my originial post (I missed two of them while counting off the chart). They are:
Phase 3 Clinical Trials
Omega-3 (in fish oil and walnuts, for example),
Hydralozine-hydrochloride (used to treat high blood pressure),
Icosapent ethyl (a type of fish oil)
Phase 2 Clinical Trials
Edaravone (used to treat stroke and ALS)
DHA (a type of Omega-3 found in fish oil)
Flos Gossypii Flavonoids (derived from a flower of the same name)
Phase 1 Clinical Trial
CMS 121 (derivative of the flavanoid fisetin which can be found in strawberries among other fruits and vegetables)
I just noticed that only Hydralozine-hydrochloride and Flos Gossypii Flavanoids are the only ones being studied for mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. The others are earlier interventions.

I agree it is not something a ad patient should not even attempt to read and understand that!
