IOM Examines Role of Choline, Creatine, Omega-3, and More in Military Traumatic Brain Injury
IOM recommends the Department of Defense prioritize research on these interventions.
IOM stated that other nutrients, including vitamin D, a combination of antioxidants, and polyphenols such as resveratrol and curcumin, showed beneficial effects for TBI, although evidence was not as strong. It recommended more research on these as well, but with less urgency.
IOM examined the role of nutrition and TBI at the request of the Department of Defense, which states that TBI accounts for up to one-third of combat-related injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan.
