This review analyzes the contribution of energy metabolism and redox imbalance to neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and cerebral organic acidurias, and evaluates selected nutraceuticals as neuroprotective adjuvants. It focuses on creatine, acetyl-L-carnitine, melatonin, and resveratrol, emphasizing their roles in regulating mitochondrial bioenergetics, ATP buffering, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Creatine supports… Read More
