Enzyme-Treated Asparagus Extract (ETAS®), derived from asparagus stems, is gaining attention for its therapeutic potential, particularly in neuroprotection, stress reduction, and cognitive support. Research shows ETAS® promotes the production of Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70), which helps protect neurons against stressors related to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Studies indicate ETAS® reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, mitigates amyloid beta-associated cell damage, and enhances antioxidant defenses. Clinical trials have shown improvements in cognitive performance, mood, and sleep quality, especially in individuals with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. ETAS® is also found to be safe for long-term use, with studies suggesting it helps lower stress and improve circadian rhythms without adverse effects.
