Abstract Context Resveratrol (RV), a natural compound found in grapes, berries, and peanuts, has been extensively studied for its potential treating Alzheimer’s disease (AD). RV shown promise inhibiting the formation of beta-amyloid plaques (Aβ) neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), protecting against neuronal damage oxidative stress, reducing inflammation, promoting neuroprotection, improving function blood–brain barrier (BBB).

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating, age‐associated neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia. The clinical continuum AD spans from preclinical to subjective cognitive decline, mild impairment, dementia stages (mild, moderate, severe). Neuropathologically, defined by accumulation amyloid β (Aβ) into extracellular plaques in brain parenchyma cerebral vasculature, abnormally phosphorylated tau that accumulates intraneuronally forming neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Development treatment approaches prevent or even reduce decline because has been slow compared other major causes death. Recently, United States Food Drug Administration gave full approval 2 different Aβ‐targeting monoclonal antibodies. However, this breakthrough modifying approach only applies limited subset patients there are stringent eligibility criteria. Furthermore, these do not progression disease, AD‐related pathologies, such as NFTs, directly targeted.

Alleles of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene play important roles in development late-onset AD, with APOEɛ4 increasing risk, APOEɛ3 being neutral, APOEɛ2 reducing risk. Several modifiable lifestyle have been studied terms how they can modify risk AD. Among these dietary pattern, nutritional supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, physical exercise, obesity, vitamin D.
