I've come across a few studies online that seem to correlate high levels of HCG to increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. Something about it increasing the plaque formation linked with Alzheimer's disease when HCG levels are chronically elevated possibly because it causes chronically higher than normal levels of LH. I feel great on HCG but not worth getting Alzheimer's from it. Is any of this true?
Here's an excerpt from one such study:
Specifically, luteinizing hormone, which is increased with age in both men and women (in response to removal of negative feedback), has surfaced as a potentially powerful player in the risk and onset of Alzheimer's disease. Mounting evidence in basic research and epidemiological studies supports the role of elevated luteinizing hormone in exacerbating age-related cognitive decline in both males and females. This review summarizes the recent developments involving luteinizing hormone in increasing the cognitive deficits and molecular pathology characteristic of Alzheimer's disease.
