Improving Cognition with Klotho Protein

The klotho protein is a hormone that is produced by the kidneys and the brain. Some people have high levels of the protein, which has been associated with good cognitive function. Cognitive function refers to higher functions like reasoning, attention, memory and language that result in acquisition of knowledge. High levels of klotho have been associated with better cognition and physical performance in aging, while the reverse has been found with people with low klotho levels.
